Audi's Self-Piloted Car Picks You Up

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

LAS VEGAS - Forget valet parking. The car of the future can find a spot for you and then pick you up.

And the future has driven to CES 2013. Audi's Connect car not only drives and parks itself but the iPhone is its key.

"Imagine you are at a shopping center and you want the car to pick you up. That's exactly what it will do," Annie Lien, Audi Senior Engineer, told ABC News.

for some reason i don't really find this interesting at all and I kind of expect cars to do this kind of thing anyway

 

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

car driver itself is interesting

might be safer than drivers

if they replaced female drivers with self driving cars then i'm sure accidents would decrease by 75%.

It'll never hit the market, the lawsuit game would explode.

 

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

they could bring it to market...they would refine the safety or build anti-collision and companies would build up their legal reserve

auto companies already do so with human piloted cars...

 

[Ray Jesus]

blah blah market

 

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

besides there are robotic arms and technology in multiple markets which exists with frequent law suits

Not in the US, this isn't like a self parking car where you're still in it and have some measure of control. This muthafukka is out and driving itself, yeah, that won't be met with massive lawsuits and all sorts of insurance scams. Imagine one of these cars running someone over in a parking lot on the way to get you, the insurance on these cars would be ridiculous and the companies making them would be liable in some cases.

its progressive techology, its beyond humans drivers who drink and drive, cant navigate, etc

the technology in the car is too superb...

car stops on moving items

how do humans get into accidents? a car eliminates that ok.

So, cars aren't recalled all the time because of poor engineering and defectives parts?

And lazy dumb people will be in charge of the maintenance of a car that drives itself, people don't even change oil when they're supposed to.

 

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

google already has a car which drive itself...approved and everything.

it will still need humans to interact, program, etc

175,000 miles no accident in driverless car mode. tho there were driver on standby
