>>Tesla can't successfully avoid a stationary guardrail or a turning semi >It can. The problem wasn't that. The problem was that it wasn't able to differentiate the color properly and thought nothing was there. Really? You're arguing that it can avoid a guardrail if it was actually able to tell a guardrail was there?? lol. >Funny how people predict things. Ray Kurzweil predicts AGI (general Artificial Intelligence) to arrive before the year 2045, 4 years after you say we get self driving cars. Interesting. Who knows. I've heard people say that it will accelerate exponentially after the first AI is developed as the AI will be able to iterate itself. >>Remember 25 years ago, cars weren't super different from today >Please tell me you're kidding. Sure, they're safer because of improvements in crumple zones/better brakes/steering/etc. I meant the basic technology of an internal combustion engine for power and a human in control. There have been incremental improvements but nothing like an autonomous car. >>Self driving cars are pretty much unicorns >At least those unicorns are achievable and people are trying towards achieving it rather than give up. I think they're technically achievable with dedicated road infrastructure but on normal badly-maintained roads with non-autonomous cars to dodge, they're unicorns. Legal issues will be the biggest hurdle IMO.
