I do think it'll be more like 50 years to get self-driving cars being sold to the general public that can drive autonomously anywhere though.
- narrowrail 10y ago"fully autonomous" requires no human intervention method, IMO. Google's cars have steering wheels. The gist of what I am trying to communicate is that serious disruption to the status quo will not happen from autonomous cars in my lifetime (one can quibble with specifics and lawyer the discussion at will).
- ufmace 10y agoWell they have already designed a special self-driving car model from the ground up that has no provision for a steering wheel at all.
- narrowrail 10y agoDid they design it or are they operating this thing? I designed a time-travel machine, do you want a ride?
