I've long suspected some of the issues that driverless cars face is due to the programmers not being good drivers themselves. In my experience, the buggiest code is written by programmers who have never actually used the code they're writing on a daily basis 😂
When you live in clown world
they need to be taken off the road.
The problem isn't the autonomous cars. The problem is the fire truck drivers not being autonomous.
Time humans got off the road.
In India Driver's themselves create chaos😭😭😭
Dont think this things work in Malaysia.. the driver here were like angel outside the car once they get in the car they would become devil. Nice approach tho but with so many impatient driver is hard to implement.
A year 2000 released anime Ex-driver is based in a world were all the cars are autonomous and controlled by AI. The story revolves around specialist drivers called Ex-drivers who drives manual cars deputized to take care of autonomous cars that went dangerously rouge. Can't believe that anime will become a reality soon.
I can't believe no one saw this coming. Sue the State. Enough is enough. Unbelievable.
No one complained of herbie.
We're not ready for Johnny Cabs.
Remember, people, this is "progress" 😅
Won’t happen for Tesla
Driverless cars is so stupid!
Not accidents, crashes. Vehicle crashes and collisions.
Self driving cars are dangerous and need to be banned from the streets.
Misinformation? I didn't see any evidence of accidents caused by autonomous vehicles, only a biased newscaster, who appears negative towards change.
It's infuriating that these companies get to use public roads as test tracks without any public consent.
Today I almost got hit by one of those vehicles making a left .. if I didn’t hit my brakes we would’ve collided
Can’t wait till one of these cars drives someone off a bridge or something
Terminator coming to end this
Who is even patronizing these vehicles? I literally wouldn't ever go near one, ever.
Either the reporter is extremely tall or that waymo chief security person is extremely short
The future is promising
What this news report omits is how many of those 911 calls are from human drivers. See, self driving cars don't have to be perfect, they just have to be better than you. Unlike people, these vehicles can be upgraded. Some reports are already giving some self driving cars to be 10 times safer than the average driver. Statistics are easily fudged, but the fact remains. If it isn't there yet, it's an eventuality it will be. AI is getting exponentially better, and general AI is coming.
Dangerous
The problem is that you can just Ask a computer “What are you doing?” “Can you Please move out of the way” or tell it to Stop. Computers do not speak English
I think trains are still the answer to traffic, not self driving cars.
This technology is only making stupid people more lazy and lazy people more idiotic. Its not convenient.
2:03 that pause .. he mightve looked into his database for what to reply to that query.
Why?
These are giving all autonomous driving developers a bad name.
Just go play a video game an turn the bots on an you will see why ai can dominate the world
Cars should be banned from large parts of the city anyways
This is the least of san Francisco's problems 😅
Good job, San Francisco! This is right up there with reparations as far as dumb 💩💩 proposed in California!
So ridiculous… it will never work… anyone that sits in a driverless vehicle is an imbecile.
This is going swimmingly /s
I took one around Sydney and it was a smooth ride
Happened to me on o’Farrell street and Stockton cruise car just stopped on a green light for no reason I had to backup and go around it. Luckily wasn’t busy at night time
Blame Dedsec
