self driving cars - coming when?

[KhunBENQ]

Just today saw a short clip about Tesla autopilot in some Vietnam city traffic.

It gave up quickly. TAKE CONTROL!!!

Yeah, but in countries where the roads are uniform, lines are painted, and other divers a.) have licenses, b.) follow the rules and c.) have a clue how to drive.  That said, in Thailand maybe in 200 years!

that sort of defeats the object of the cars being self driven, no ?

why would someone need to have a license, follow the rules, know how to drive, when the car is doing the driving not the passenger ?

they will more likely be self driving Taxi's, most people will have no need to own one

I read somewhere it will only come to fruition with 5G..........is this true?

I envision a mini van type vehicle, drinking coffee and playing internet w/a place to lay down too...

 

when when when??

 

They this do already

other drivers, not the “driver” of the self driving car. AI is based on predictability and rule following of the other non AI drivers on the road. And when the other drivers are kamikaze crack-heads, I think the Tesla programmers wouldn’t know how to deal with that. Maybe they need to spend a few years driving the roads of Thailand themselves. But then again Tesla would have to pay them hazard pay because probably only 1/2 of them would return to California alive! ????

will be done in steps
the switch to electric vehicles is coming in next few years (look at Korea)
cars will have self driving capability before it is really used, just like today in many places,
there will be a transition period:
cars driven by humans
>self driving cars driven by humans
>self driving cars driven autonomously or by human
>self driving cars.
