Estimates have them being widly available by 2025, but some companies are working on cheaper technology that would allow their introduction in as little as three years. They are expected to be significantly more safe than human driven cars. Assume you were shopping for a new car and the prices were somewhat close, would you buy a self driving car? http://bgr.com/2013/05/29/self-driving-cars-availability-2016/
Step 1 - Buy self driving car. Step 2 - Install mini bar in front seat. Step 3 - Drink and Ride like a Boss!
man, I am still waiting for my damn jet pack, flying car and all thestuff that was promised..hey! We as a nation dont even have a space program any more, should I give up free will to a car? I dont think so
Yes, I would love that. But what if it starts taking you to some random place you didn't want to go to? There would have to be some kind of overdrive capability. Think of how many lives would be saved by something like that. Unless, of course, they all turn on us and attack like the Decepticons.
Seems to more likely it just becomes a built in excuse. " I told the car to take me to take me somewhere to buy new pants, it's not my fault the software heard watch naked girls dance"
That'd be great for a long road trip, but I genuinely enjoy driving... I didn't know it had become a chore.
That would be like buying a robot to have sex for me or to eat dinner for me. I prefer to live my life, rather than observe it being lived by machines.
Never. If I get myself into an accident, I want it to be because I was the one who made an error, not some software engineer. This will probably be another of those things that the kids of the future will mock me for.
I'm assuming it would be sensors in the roadbed or GPS. I'm old-school. I really enjoy driving. It would be nice for long trips and for truckers, as an option, but not something I'd use to drive to work.
Cool. Thanks for the info. Repped. To me, that makes it scarier. I'm beginning to fear the amount of information that's out there about all of us.
Yeah. For my wife. BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! ABM, if you show this post to her, you're in deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep dodo.
Have you ever been the victim of an accident? I was completely stopped at a light on a street where the speed limit was 35 and got rear ended hard enough to push my car into the one in front of me (no sex jokes, please). Everyone was okay, but I bet this occurrence happens hundreds of times a day and obviously some have worse consequences than just having to deal with insurance companies and body shops. I think that if it saves more lives in the long run, it would be worth it.
