Only 10ish years? This is incredible news.
- antihero 5y agoShit man I might even be alive by then
- daniel-cussen 5y agoHahahahHHAHAHAHAHA I love your username too. Hey I maybe maybe might be alive by then too! Who knows. There's life after death.
- jiveturkey 5y agoSo, before full self driving then!
- grishka 5y agoSelf driving is easy, the hard part is self driving when surrounding vehicles are driven by humans. There are self-driving trains in some subway systems right now, and we don't see those as something special.
- FartyMcFarter 5y agoIt's not just about handling human drivers. There's also pedestrians, construction areas, weather, various other kinds of obstructions, hardware failures...
- doctor_eval 5y agoI think the interesting question is, in a future where death is no longer inevitable, what risk profile we would accept for self driving? Would it accelerate self driving, or get rid of cars altogether?
- sschueller 5y agoLike fusion and self driving cars. It is going to take a lot longer if it ever works safely.
- inglor_cz 5y agoNeither fusion nor self-driving cars are a vital technology, they are more like "nice to have". You can produce electricity by many other means and people are used to driving. But preventing aging isn't yet possible, so there is more sense of urgency around developing anything that helps.
- jdrc 5y agoGiven the looming aging crisis in west and east i would expect vigorous interest in bringing this science closer. Not least because it is presumed that it would also solve many aging related diseases like Alzheimer's
