So does a self driving car eliminate DWI's?

Shit, I would fight any DWI w/ the self driving car defense.. It would have to be dismissed unless the cars have a log that can be accessed

Bro I'm sure the autopilot system is mostly electrical. Probably wouldn't have to get greasy and dirty to fix it.

Well bro I worked on electrical systems and there are gearbox drives , brakes, wheels, steering assy in these cars. Even if it has
no gasoline motor it still has the parts of a car. With all the systems to make it run without a driver you
will need some one who has to still fix the car parts but still have the skills of a advance computer repair man. It's hard
to find a guy who will do both today. I love Hi-tech stuff but it breaks also and someone has to fix it.

For FckLA, friction does not exist.
Moving parts = friction. Live with it.
I guess he has got them without moving parts on on a magnetic rail.

Basically the car becomes more difficult for the consumer to fix.

This technology could very well signal the beginning of the end for truck drivers.

That ngga Jacque Fresco was on to something when he said, "If technology does not liberate all people for the pursuit of higher aspirations in human achievement, then all its technical potential will be meaningless."

Although in this case it stands to put thousands of nggas outta work. Poor waffle houses.

WTF are you talking about. Whatever it is that is moving the steering wheel and pressing the brake is obviously mechanical, but I don't think those mechanisms are all that complex. The complexity of the system is in the sensors, boards and wiring. You'll have to maintain and replace those alot more often than the braking/steering mechanisms imo.

It's still a gimmick so far.

But anything that gets us closer to using fuel efficient electric cars is a step in the right direction..

Not really. It's how the technology is evolving. It started with antilock breaks and stability control. Next came auto parallel parking. Next, we started to see adaptive cruise control and automatic accident avoidance features. More and more human-controlled features are becoming automated.

what's going to happen if a car automatically swerves to avoid a car or object but runs them into a person. Will the car know which object is the more preferable to avoid?
What if the car comes upon a black man and white cop and is going to hit one or the other? Will someone's life be determined by a racist programmer?

Reminds me of that Will Smith robot movie where a car accident happened and the car was submerged underwater...the robot chose to save Smith instead of a child because it calculated that Smith had a higher chance of survival.

It probably just has motion or object sensors though. So it will swerve to avoid the first object and then do it's best to avoid the second one as well, it won't really differentiate which is more important.

Lots to go wrong. Suppose you're in the left lane of a two way 4 lane road with no median. If a car on your right swerves in, will your car swerve away and in to the oncoming traffic?

The CEO of Mercedes went on record a year ago that their top models could drive autonomously with just a software upgrade. That the necessary technology is both available and mostly built in. The only reason why they are not doing it is legal (liabilities).

I believe that this is the same reason why Google cars are still experimental despite millions of real world miles driven already.

You could say that the Tesla firmware upgrade is a collection of party tricks limited in scope on purpose so that the responsibility for the safe behavior of the car is still with the driver.

DarrinS

I trust the human visual cortex more than these algorithms. A good driver looks several cars ahead. Unless all vehicles communicated with each other, I don't think any camera or sensor currently has that capability.

Tesla 3 fails to earn a CR recommendation:


“These problems keep the Model 3 from earning a Consumer Reports recommendation. The Tesla’s stopping distance of 152 feet from 60 mph was far worse than any contemporary car we’ve tested and about 7 feet longer than the stopping distance of a Ford F-150 full-sized pickup… CR’s experience with the Model 3’s braking is not unique. Car and Driver, in its published test of a Model 3, said it noticed “a bizarre amount of variation” in its test, including one stop from 70 mph that took ‘an interminable 196 feet.'” So, blistering acceleration but unable to stop. Oopsie. Musk says this can be fixed with firmware. We’ll see. Tesla controls, however, will be harder to fix: “Another major factor that compromised the Model 3’s road-test score was its controls. This car places almost all its controls and displays on a center touch screen, with no gauges on the dash, and few buttons inside the car. This layout forces drivers to take multiple steps to accomplish simple tasks. Our testers found that everything from adjusting the mirrors to changing the direction of the airflow from the air-conditioning vents required using the touch screen. These types of complex interactions with a touch screen can cause driver distraction because each act forces drivers to take their eyes off the road and a hand off the steering wheel.”https://www.consumerreports.org/hybrids-evs/tesla-model-3-review-falls-short-of-consumer-reports-recommendation/
