Discussion and opinion

  • Array - Chef Bourque
  • wouldn't this mean all cars would have to be nearly identical? It's not a smart thought, there would be more mechanical problems to go wrong than with your standard vehicle, not mention kids possible messing with all the supposed "buttons" you speak of. There's just too much to go wrong.  - Jeremiah Hill
  • I think the transportation industry is one place where automation can have a revolutionary impact in the near future. Self-driving cars is a large piece of that big picture. The goal should be to bring about the same kind of impact to the movement of physical goods and people, that we did to communication in the last 20 years with the internet and mobile phones. - Abhishek Kumar
  • The efficiency in the visualization of cars turning into "trains" @ 0:56 is pretty awesome. Now when do we get flying cars? - Okay Samurai
  • no nazis...we are not giving up our rights to control our vehicle....kill yourselves - Aquaponics Smith
  • My only issue is he said he wish's he would be around in 200 years to see this technology come to fruition. Maybe I'm crazy, but in the LAST 200 years we've gone from horse and buggy and believing that Demons cause disease to a Space Station and actively moving forward with maned expeditions to Mars. If self driving cars aren't common in 20 years THAT would be the surprise! - tecnoblix
  • Sounds cool but you'll always have that one "Ricky Bobby" asshole that wants to go fast and starts swerving through traffic and cutting people off. Also, the people who are too scared to merge correctly. So they come to a full stop on a yield. Though, if the cars don't have a manual driving option, it might force them to drive correctly. We'll see, I guess.  - Johnny Zavala
  • Your NUTS!!!! Next they'll be something crazy like unmanned drones flying around murdering people!! Or a black communist US President, that millions of idiots voted in twice!!!!  - Mc M
  • If they make self driving cars then lots of people will lose there jobs AND we won't ever learn how to drive and what if you can't afford a new car what will happen then??? - Sean B

  • If there's a "train," what happens when a car breaks down, or if there's an accident? - Dave Sanchez
  • telecommute more - Fish Kungfu
  • I love his last statement so much!  - Daniel Jutz
  • Self-driving cars would be cool, but I trust myself more than a robot when it comes to handling a vehicle, regardless of how well developed it is. If it does become the new common form of transportation, then there will be no fun to be had when "driving" the car. Also, there are just so many factors that need to be considered, such as other vehicles. Also, what about roadside homeless people who you may want to give money to or the friends that you see while driving who may need a lift? I would enjoy riding in them, but not driving them. - CarGnome TheCritic
  • I don't think it will be possible to completely remove humans from the process of driving a car, at least not with technology available now or in the near future. Look at aircraft for instance. Technology already exists that can automate the whole flight from gate-to-gate at airports that are suitably equipped. The potential is there for 100% computer controlled flights. Yet we still have pilots, and we still have air traffic controllers. Why? Because when things go wrong, there are certain decisions a computer is incapable of making. Now with a car... there is a lot more potential for things to go wrong. With aircraft, there is far less potential for collisions with objects and other traffic. There is no such thing as potholes or slippery roads. There is a lot more space and time to maneuver in the air than on a busy road. So in a way, safe automated driving is significantly more complex to achieve than auto-flight systems. The guy in the video gave a perfect example with the plastic bag floating across the road. How does a computer react when faced with a situation it hasn't been programmed to handle? Only humans can make these spur of the moment decisions. What I'm getting at, is that even with a highly sophisticated self-driving car of the future, there will still be a need for someone in the car to be paying attention at all times in the event the computer encounters something unforeseen. Also a computer can't make moral type decisions, for example when an accident is absolutely unavoidable but there are two possible outcomes. Which does the computer choose? - MTTT3000
  • 4th - Max McGlaughlin
  • You have to consider the fact they could (have bugs or glitches) or people can hack it. (Almost anything electronic can be hacked)  - Shurikan Games
  • cool but me personally would keep pressing the buttons to be a troll  - legalosmumakilslayer
  • The only problem is if there is no failsafe and a car stops in one of those trains then there could be a HUGE traffic jam. - John Matusiak
  • When people have to get out how would the cars know of all cars have to stop for one to get in and say boston where rhere is non stop traffic how'd that help? - Andy Hatch
