I reckon it'll be the same for self-driving. We are 20-25 years away, not 5-10
- Noseshine 10y agoIn addition, only a few days (one or two weeks) ago we had a much commented story linked here on HN that VR is way too hyped. Supprted by quotes from actual executives and/or investors in that business if I recall correctly, so not just the usual negativism that can always be found for any topic if you choose your source well.
- puranjay 10y agoI don't think VR will ever be mainstream unless hardware costs come down drastically and they can figure out a way to make VR headsets look less dorky
- phatfish 10y agoIn 5-10 years i see self-driving on freeways and maybe other main roads that have standard junctions, markings and signs. Maybe with lanes only for self-driving. A self driving vehicle would do the long-haul and a human would do the tricky city/country lane leg of the journey. Automating the whole journey is a long way off as you say.
