I mean, I'm very much tech-forward and have spent the past decade in major world cities and I've seen a driverless car once in my life. Sometimes things that seem inevitable really aren't.
- JuniperMesos 4mo agoI see driverless cars all the time in San Francisco and I'm eagerly awaiting the regulatory decisions that will allow them to be widely available in the bay area at large.
- weregiraffe 4mo agoIt's not driverless until you can sleep while it drives.
- myst 4mo agoUntil you can sleep on the road.
- chii 4mo agoSuch cars are already operating in shanghai. It's not talked about much in the west media, but that's just how news is today. Achievements are only so when done by the west! Driverless car's only real obstacle is regulatory acceptance, not technical.
- IanCal 4mo agoCan’t you? They’re taxis right?
- silon42 4mo agoCar needs to drive me to work and then go back home to charge.
- olyjohn 4mo agoYay twice as much traffic!
- kortilla 4mo agoDo you know what Waymo is?
- dbspin 4mo agoIt's not driverless unless it doesn't have a driver. Some poor guy in hydrobad 'monitoring' (read frequently taking over from) ten cars at a time, while being paid a statistically insignificant portion of a western taxi drivers salary does not count as 'self driving'.

- otabdeveloper4 4mo agoDriverless airplanes and driverless trains existed for many, many decades. There's still a highly paid and trained guy in the cabin though, for obvious reasons. Cars aren't any different. Do you really care about the exact kind of autopilot software when flying?
- Fritatta 4mo agoNo more flight engineers though.
