This is with the caveat that the weather is nice and you're in one of Google's specially mapped areas. As I understand it - and I never worked at Google and I keep waiting for someone who does to correct me on it - those maps are very difficult to scale and maintain.
- petra 10y agoThe limited area/weather isn't a huge problem.commercially . You just need to start offering it in a single city when possible, prove the tech and business works , and than you could get tons of money to scale to other cities .
- jayjay71 10y agoI don't see how that solves the weather problem, unless you're limiting yourself to cities with nice weather. Even then - all cities have bad weather occasionally. I'm not arguing against progress. I think it's great people are working on this and obviously you have to start somewhere. I'm just pointing out the fully autonomous vehicle is not a few years away.
