Gilbert Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'd trade-up to that in a heartbeat, if only it were legal for the occasional recreational use..... with OK now okay with prescription..... it's only a matter of time before the deep Red State Texas realizes the errr of their ways, but I'll likely be pushing daisy's by then.

DizRotus Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 If this has already been referenced, I apologize. That said, if you have any interest in autonomous cars, watch PBS Nova season 46 episode 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's the first that actively tries to kill me. I was on SuperCruise at rush hour in a construction zone in Sherman-Denison at 60. Car suddenly attempt to pull HARD right into a concrete rail. I had to pull with all my strength left to prevent collision...and then it tried to pull hard left into the left lane and another concrete rail! Serious butt pucker experience and I've not use it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWho Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 On 3/14/2015 at 7:20 AM, Mallette said: Delphi predicts that the equipment to make a car autonomous will be 5k by 2019, a pretty small price to pay for "insurance" that will reduce you chance of death or injury by at least 90% So is it safe to say Delphi was wrong? Waymo One is interesting, but it's in a dedicated city and I believe it has a team of people in remote control of the vehicle...so it's not fully autonomous although it looks like it. That autonomous system costs a lot more than $5k though.... But I do think the only autonomous vehicle model that makes sense is a rideshare / taxi type service. This way the burden of maintenance goes onto the vehicle owner, which is paramount to autonomous safety / feasibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubo Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 What are the goals of self driving vehicles ? Taxis like the original movie Recall ? Clear military applications Domestic policing automated ? Your vehicle can be remote controlled or self limiting " Sorry Dave, you can't go there " "Sorry Dave, you already used your miles for the week" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
