BMW has been working on something similar, in the goal of developing new safety/comfort for riders. I tried showing it to some older riders who gave the whole 'they want to automate everything etc etc carburetors drum brakes kick starts points etc'

- wetpaws 8y agoThat's what most of people don't understand - self driving cars are evolutionary, not revolutionary. You are not getting a car that can do everything - just a car that does progressively slightly more and more every day, like automated parking on 2019 toyotas or adaptive cruise control, etc.
- slavik81 8y agoIf my car could drop me off at the front door and go park on its own, that would be a significant improvement over the status quo. A personal automated valet is perhaps a little easier than an automated driver that does everything. Low speeds also means stopping or starting on a dime, which would allow it to be more conservative about identifying obstacles than when driving at highway speeds. I don't really understand why nobody aimed for that sort of incremental improvement. Maybe the sensor package is too expensive to use in such a limited fashion?
