Sorry. Your Car Will Never Drive You Around.

I wonder if Silicon Valley will ever finally arrive at trains? I would be willing to let them claim they had the brilliant idea all on their own, if it gets us to where they stop reinventing worse trains.

"It can tell a mannequin from a …". IT SHOULDN'T BE HITTING A MANNEQUIN!

Building a nice great train system fixes so many problems including the one where you have to actively drive your car, it's self driving technology at its finest... You can also sleep in it without worrying about dying

The more I think about it, the more I would just want walkable cities, with 0 lanes for automated nor regular cars. Just grass, brick pavement, and close distances that need no 2 tonne hunk of metal. Some roads for emergency vehicles, and for rentable vans, with parking lots on the city outskirts. God, that sounds wonderful

I don't care if the child is real or fake I don't want my car ploughing into objects in the road.

ok, people who make excuses that "a cardboard cutout isn't a real human" need to have their heads examined. If your car drives over a huge object in the middle of the road, THAT'S A FUCKING PROBLEM. It's not like the car can tell what the object is made of, or what is BEHIND the cardboard cutout. For all you know it's a brick wall, or something worse. What if there actually IS a real child behind the cardboard ?? The fact that the car doesn't stop at the sight of any object in front of it is already a failure of massive proportions.

The dream at the end is just trains but for antisocial people who really want to make stops to charge every few hours.

I am continually surprised something is able to be named and sold as "full self driving" when you can't take your hands off the wheel or eyes off the road when you drive it.

"A decade ago... In 2014" My back started hurting instantly😂

It kills me when the car slows down and then, after some thought, proceeds to plow under the child. "Damn kid had too slow reflexes. That's Darwin."

Every time self driving comes up as a solution for traffic and drivers, a train engineer rolls in his grave

That guy who put his child at risk like that should be charged with child abuse and child endangerment.

4:19 "Make big bucks letting your Tesla work as a robotaxi!"...until it rolls back into your driveway one Saturday morning full of puke, piss, spilled beer, cigarette burns and Lord only knows what else!

"a self-driving only lane" implies that your home, and everywhere else you want to go, is attached to a self-driving road. if you have two road networks, they have to be fully separated. they can't overlap and be separate at the same time, unless one lane is underground or flying. also consider that most cities can't afford the maintenance on the roads they have already.

This is one of those topics where I was bullied for not believing the "experts" and remembering that rural areas exist. Even as a kid, I knew that at best, most self driving cars sold in my entire life would have to be able to be completely controlled manually, because many many vehicle owners don't live in a city, and don't even have cell service in their area. Are tens of millions of Americans expected to be forced to use 80+ year old cars near the end of my life? I was called stupid for ignoring the experts. Oh well.

The problem with self driving is that it shouldn't just work some of the time. It needs to work all of the time. When it's night time, when it's raining, snowing, when there's ice on the road, when dealing with unpredictable traffic situations and so on.

I about died of laughter when the Tesla lightly bumped the dog and dog walker over and then was like GTFO of the way, i gotta go lolol

When an open source project says the Discord is the documentation, you know you're in for a GREAT time! A website that points you to the chat, but people in the chat saying "Read the post on the chat" and the post on the chat points to another post and... I've been playing with FOSS stuff for 20+ years, and I've never run into anything as crappy as "Discord as Documentation"

If you drive youself into the grand canyon, the most important thing is to have it on camera.
