That's interesting. I haven't read anything like it. Do you have a source?
- taligent 14y agoHonestly there are so many sources its not funny. Toyota/Audi at CES: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/145035-toyota-audi-showcase-self-driving-cars-at-ces-no-sign-of-google http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/145035-toyota-audi-showca... Volvo shipping in 2014: http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/03/volvo-self-driving-cars-2014/ http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/03/volvo-self-driving-cars-2... State of autonomous cars: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_car http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_car And remember that the automative industry routinely share technologies within each group. So for example Audi technology may appear in all VW group brands e.g. Bentley, Porsche, SEAT, VW. Extrapolate across all the groups and Google's market opportunity evaporates pretty quickly.
- BitMastro 14y agoAnd once again YOU are so wrong it's not even funny. The sources you cite refer to a range of sensors that will be added to cars starting from 2014, like collision detection technologies. And the Volvo cars you always talk about are supposed to be in a train formation following a human-driven vehicle. A different kind of project from the self-driving cars from Google. Actual self-driving cars by other companies are always research projects with unclear timescales. Your need to despise something just because it's made by Google make you look pathetic. Just stop.
