This is way over-yhped. My boss has one and I've driven it. their so called self driving is no where near as sophisticated as a google car. Basically it follows lane lines and controls speed. It does not recognize stop signs, lights, or any traffic instruction. If you're in the right lane and there is an exit, it sometimes takes the exit cause it's following the lines. If you're on a street where it can't see the lines, it just turns off. If you take your hands off the wheel for more than 3 minutes it will start warning you to put them back.The auto speed control is kind of nice but the steering thing is pretty worthless. Just a gimmick really.
Because there are so many that can't be trusted to drive w/o distractions of their mobile devices, food, makeup, etc, once the technology can be trusted by the insurance companies more than people, the insurance companies will be the ones to mandate that no one can drive their own car any more. They will do this through rates. You'll pay 10X or more to drive your own car. I'm not sure what this means for motorcycles.
Our rates should go down because there will be less people out there trying to kill us.
And of course at some point, the ethical questions need to be answered. The vehicle determines that the accident is un-avoidable. Does it save the single person in it? OR does it save the 6 people in the other vehicle and sacrifice it's own passenger? Or does it drive onto the sidewalk and kill the pedestrians? The software running autonomous vehicles will have to be programmed to handle all situations that they encounter. So someone gets to decide who maybe lives\who maybe dies.OR maybe it just throws it 'hands' in the air, closes its 'eyes' and hopes for the best.
Can anyone explain to me how the driver, who makes $30k a year as a state representative, can afford a $100,000+ Tesla?
The Adaptive Cruise Control on my new car says "APPLY BRAKE" , basically "over to you" when something outside set parameters occurs.It can of course apply the brakes itself.
In these neck of the woods what scares me most isn't the Prius driver, the elder in a Buick, a youngster in a lowered Honda or an 18/wheeler taking up their entire lane, it is the high performance car, truck and ,SUV driver. The ones with 300,400 and up to 700 horsepower that think the on ramps and every straight is their opportunity to "open er up" switching in and out of traffic . The most common car I see driven this way is a BMW, maybe because everything thinks they are the Ultimate Driver.Will auto driving cars reduce the market for ultra high performance cars? Sure, there will always be those willing to pay for higher performance but if you look at who is now driving electric cars, a lot of them used to be in high horsepower cars sitting in traffic.The auto drive car is nearly here.
