Whoever Thinks Driverless Cars Will Be Good in the Next 100 Years

Has little experience driving and/or working with computers.

And has never heard of an uncontrolled train crossing.

Its fucking scary.
Technology and the abuse that will come is, period.
Look at that iphone10. The facial recognition technology is AMAZING. But think of how it will be abused..
I understand i am cynical, but i also enjoy reality.

You have to be cynical. Even if damn computers always did what you told them to do all of the time they can be hacked. Hell, even typing this the computer is skipping letters I type.

 

[TNHarley]

Remember those CIA cables that talked about the CIA hacking driverless cars to pull off assassinations?

I want to see one in winter weather on ice HAHAHAHA

Seeing that data suggest that they're safer compared to normal cars I'd say with a few decades of testing they should be ready.

"id say" nobody cares. You dont even know which bathroom to use.

Has anybody tried instructing Siri to find something? If Apple can't find me horse porn I don't trust a computer to get me to my destination safely.

The data lies.

So far, self-driving cars are kept out of difficult situations, either totally or by turning control over to the driver. And, so far, self-driving cars are well maintained by researchers, rather than being 10-years-old and never having maintenance.

But, self-driving cars are safer than incompetent drivers. And, I hope to see them starting to go mainstream in the next few years.

Driverless cars will need to have many sensors.
Those sensors will have to be cleaned, inspected and calibrated a lot.
People don't even maintain their regular cars properly nowadays.
If a sensor malfunctions it might make the car go off the road or crash into another car.
Lawsuits are what will prevent driverless cars from happening.

With your harelip Siri can be excused for mistaking horse porn for hose porn!

Self-driving cars will have extensive diagnostics and refuse to move the computer thinks a sensor isn't working right. The real problem is you'll end up stranded, maybe on the way to work, because the car decides some sensor isn't working, even if the sensor is for something minor.

The massive savings from self-driving cars will mean even lawsuits won't sink them. They will dramatically reduced wrecks and fatalities. When all cars are self-driving, we'll be able to fit more than double as many cars onto existing roads, saving cities millions of dollars in road construction.

Ice road coming up on an unguarded train crossing.

Sounds like our D.C. Leadership.

Yeah, I can't wait. I'm doing 75 on I-15 with traffic and the computer says stop immediately. Or the clown next to me hacks my computer.

You obviously don't work with computers much.

Anyone who uses a computer more than 4 hours a week knows that's BS.

Which would you rather have in the future, self driving cars or 80+ year old seniors doing the driving?

100 year old Alzheimer's patient is a better driver than the best computer.

So what if a camera sensor gets covered with mud or the road strip is faded or missing, or there is RF interference with the radar measuring system.....there is a whole lot that can go wrong and cause a catastrophe

Just think, soon it will be illegal to drive your own car.

I click on my email to open it up and get the blue circle of death.

When a car is coming at you that blue circle of death will have a whole new meaning.
