Are driverless cars ready to hit the road full time? 

I think self driving cars can be good for me. I’m handicapped can not drive. The transportation service in my town are awful. I can’t go anywhere by my self unless somebody drives me.

I almost joined Cruise as a software engineer a few years ago. These things have a long road ahead to be safe and trusted. The best solution at the moment is, Driverless only roads and roads with digital infrastructure (sensors and such) which would help the driverless car make a decision

it failed on a clear dry day, show me this on a dark snow covered road in Boston.

Unexpected construction zone? So, just about everywhere.

My uber driver was on the wrong side of the road and another jetted for the highway before getting a location. So i would rather trust a robotaxi.

According to the survey n this clip, it seems like there has been WAY LESS accidents WITH driverless cars than casual cars... .

You would think that during this testing, they would make it so someone still has to sit in the drivers seat for extra safety, ready to turn off auto-driving and take the wheel themselves...at least during these testing periods. One thing, these companies only care about your safety as far as their reputation is concerned.

Law firms lawyers rubbing their hands in all those future lawsuits brought over incidents with these vehicles. Almost like free money for them.

I was driving a city bus and a driverless Waymo van made a left turn without enough room. I almost collided with the van, which would have injured me and my passengers. You guys really need to work out the kinks!

"Our vehicles don't get distracted." That means nothing if your vehicle cannot interpret how to drive through a construction zone. My flashlight doesn't get distracted or drunk either but I don't claim it can drive.

I'm not the biggest champion of self-driving cars, but I think way too much of the conversation is sensational rather than inquisitive and informative. It's easy enough to find a few silly situations to ridicule, but I don't think the news reporting we are getting will age very well. At the rate things are developing, it seems likely that self-driving cars will be safer than the average human driver relatively soon. Now that they are considered safe enough to operate and learn in a live environment, they will evolve even faster. We shouldn't let these companies get away with murder, but it doesn't seem like they are trying to. Seems to me like they are just trying to do their best in a somewhat dismissive (and sometimes outright hostile) media environment. Progress is inevitable, and in the case of self-driving cars, perhaps mostly for the better. At least if we take it seriously enough to prepare for it. There will probably not be much need for human drivers in the future, and it's important no to stick our heads in the sand and pretend that isn't going to happen. If we look at the history of automation though, the most likely way this will play out is something like this: *Yesterday:* _What do you mean self-driving cars? Don't be silly! That is total science fiction and will never actually happen._ *Today:* _Look at all those silly autonomous cars! They can only drive as well as a human 99% of the time, and sometimes they stop for no apparent reason. How hilarious._ *Tomorrow:* _We have to stop all these self-driving cars that are so massively outperforming human drivers! We can't compete and are losing our jobs! This isn't fair!_

I am a school bus driver and I can tell you there are many driverless cars on the road all ready because they drive thru bus stop arm every week .

I saw one today, the person in the back seat left the car, it stopped on a railroad track before, everyone went nuts because car wasn’t moving at all.

Heck no!

Soon you can call your boss during morning and say "Sorry cant come to work my car wont allow me to leave driveway"

A five year old in 2075: "You guys won't believe this, but my grandpa has a car that he actually has to drive himself...yeah, no the car doesn't do the driving. Grandpa has to actually hold this big circle and guide the car himself. "

What happens when a drunk person sits in the drivers seat.

They will hit the roads and other drivers/pedestrians

They should make separate infrastructure for self driving cars for maximum efficiency and safety. A fellow driver might not understand how self driving cars think or work or what it might pull off on public roads. We could see separate infrastructure especially for self driving trucks carrying freight and goods in the near future. Don't put self driving cars with human drivers, its best if its separated. It also depends on where you are using it in, a downtown area will be much harder to use vs a normal suburb with mostly straight roads.

1:33 misleading statements to push a narrative. The Numbers given was total count, not a comparable rate. it is like saying For regular cars it is 216,366 crashes in California just the past year (2022)! The number should factor in market share of EV to internal combustion as well as miles driven. Otherwise it is comparing apples to oranges.

I feel like they should train those vehicles in Indian roads , they will be ready in no time

Yea...we're not there yet. This technology needs to be more improved. Easily 4-5 more years.

It's important to take the total amount of crashes if you want to compare.

Not even close!

Self driving car sees emergency tape and just plows through it😂 activate Finish him mode

Driverless cars are definitely ready to hit something alright 💥💥💥

Tesla FSD has been in development for years, but even today it makes mistakes on any challenging route. A high school kid can drive better than the FSD computer .

Short answer? No. Long answer? No.

Why am I a beta tester for something that can run me over? Many times they have been aggressive towards me when crossing the road. If they think you are walking too slow it will literally start to jerk forward towards you.

Imagine a world without human driver error, so much safer for all the road users 😊

What insurance company is writing policies for driverless cars?

If you get behind on the payment, the car will drive itself back to the dealership. Hahaha

Liability for accidents will be a TOUGH situation. If you hit a driverless car, that's easy. But what if it hits YOU? What if a passenger is having a medical emergency, or just plain passes out? What about vandalism? Whether they're on camera or not, etc.

Being involved in 200 crashes means nothin, i can promise the robot was never at fault... that guy was not gonna be hit by the robotic car, but the robot didnt have the courtisy to wait for him to hit the sidewalk like most humans would

I'm writing this a few weeks after California gave permission for Waymo to develop operations all throughout the State. WOW! The future is now😮😊. Lots of ongoing work to do, friends.

Serious question… who really asked for self driving cars ???

Lol GM already suspended the program nation wide

Its always the same. Every time some big progress happens,there are accidents and mistakes and people whine and moan EVERY TIME. But life moves on and the dogs wait for another wagon to bark at.

I feel safer in a driverless car and riding with an unknown man.

*_YOU'RE IN A JOHNNY CAB!_*

So if a driverless car hits another car does that make the owner responsible for damages ?

Canada 🍁 still doesnt have these advanced TECHNOLOGY

They basically reinvented trains

Did they solved the interference between multiple radars in multiple cars. Since nobody mentions it it must be solved right?

I don’t trust the driverless cars-

we already have cars you don't have to drive - they're called taxis

I will be happy to use self driving cars. If it means more reliability im all for it. Sure,as with every tech,kinks have to be rooted out first.

My car's GPS leads me on goose chases regularly. I have a hard time understanding why anyone would invest their money in that tech.

Autonomous car is no driver I prefer person driving it or drive it yourself.😅😊

I really think it's best to keep it on highways. I think highways it could do much better and then as soon as you're off the exit you have to go to manual..

I thought we were already there . Oh wait- that’s uninsured or unlicensed driver cars. Like the ones that keep hitting my relatives.

Safer, cheaper, reduce the need for parking, why would people be against self-driving vehicles ?

What if the car got into an accident bad enough that the car started on fire and since it's auto lock and electric locks now days how is someone gonna escape if doors won't unlock

Yes

Wow.

Autonomous vehicle operator here. These vehicles are a hazard.

bad showing.

Who needs to invest in an effective public transportation system when you can put more cars on the road?

This good for military not civilians

Keep them off the roads

If you even do not want it, it is a future.

No driver , no me .

What’s up with that map?

This is just a fad. It will come and pass. People will not choose to give their control to these things.

u either need AGI or rebuilt highways with AVs in mind

It's there programming, don't let it stop, let it think, make decisions

They will use this technology to sell the software to car companies for more advanced driving assistance. But it's just too expensive to have a robotaxis fleet. Too many cost around keeping them up and running. They would need to charge customers more than double then what Uber and Lyft charge.

Te technology is just not at the level yet

They will be hitting the road. Poles. People. Pets. Traffic. My nerves.

Self driving cars look boring. I prefer driving them myself. What if there is an accident and a cop tellls you to stop? How is the car going to stop at a hand gesture from an officer? So many problems with this..

mix it with radio control

I hate driving with a passion! but I still don't trust those automated cars. No, thank you.

Drive less car, hands free, risk free

No, but they sure are ready to hit pedestrians

I'm waiting for passengerless cars.

No

Those cars need to banned and it takes away jobs too

Awesome 😊

Nope cause I'll be brake checking all of them.

I think they would fail in the highway why it would never work

I do want advanced self driving car. I'm not stupid I know it's not ready but I have my reasons and it's a long story but I'll put it as short and simple as I can. I have amaxophobia and maybe I still do. And my family won't teach me how to drive.

Homeless and Payless is a bigger problem than Driverless in San Francisco. Those reporter need s bring x10 more cameras to report real problems instead of cares about car stop on roads

Detroit Become Human!

GM is not in the taxi service business. The reason their CRUZE taxis are on the road is to collect data & perfect the tech which will then be applied to their vehicle fleet to sell to the public. !

How can I keep Bitcoin servers for my Nissan leaf

Nowhere near ready , total stupid idea , if people don't want to drive get a bus

Not so surprising that Smart car does not like not-so-smart people as passengers.

I feel as comfortable as if it was 1920 n I was riding self driving car that's the comfort I feel.

Nah. You can't make me buy one 😂

Oh my soon they install AI driver , you wait thats wuold be scarery, the car thats fly😂😂😂

That’s a no then.

"1:40" The fact that there have been 280 crashes over the past five years is actually quite impressive, considering they had well over 100 in just the first year. This indicates a significant improvement in safety. Moreover, many of those early incidents were not the fault of the autonomous vehicles but rather involved other drivers colliding with them or even deliberately targeting them.

Should make road rage fun ....

These things will never be ready full time. There are so many unknowns with these driverless vehicles, but we do know that they will never be perfect. Every day we learn something “new” with the software that we should’ve already known. These things are crashing in to buses, crashing into emergency vehicles, striking pedestrians and people jogging, and even hitting other stopped cars. Even forcing EVERYONE to go driverless will not solve all of the problems because there are so many other variables to consider. There are cyclists on the roadways, there are pedestrians and people running/jogging out there, motorcycle riders etc who will all not be controlled by a computer.

I still don't like that people will be put out of work because of this technology.

More innocent people are getting hit smh

No oh god no

Allah kuendesha uku unakunywa kilkevi ni mbaya sana kwani unahatarisha maisha yako

This world is Cray Cray

I don’t trust them
