In fifty year's time, we will still be having this conversation.
Driverless private vehicles driven on public roads will remain a pipe dream. The solutions to mass driverless transit already exists - we have trains, buses, planes, ferries, etc etc.
Not only is the technology borderline impossible in the general case, the arguments around safety are at best... hopeful. At worst, they're criminally dishonest.
- ryantgtg 3y agoI would like to see a thorough defense by CA DMV for allowing these services to operate, given that the technology is very clearly not remotely close to being at an acceptable level. I would expect that this might be another case of “public servants wishing to look innovative, and in the process skipping due diligence and protocol.”
