Yet the media thinks self driving cars would take over the world :skip:


"We're only able to make the car stay in their lane, and change lanes. We're just now trying to figure out how to make a car exit a highway. Also, it is unable to interact with pedestrians"



Can't even get off a highway on it's own :mjlol:
And yet people think a self driving cars, and even Trucks are a possibility :mjlol:


Umm... the next step is adding technology to the roads themselves. Once that is there, there's nothing that cannot be done in the self driving space

People who don't think self driving cars are in the near future don't understand where we were 15 years ago and how what we are doing now was projected to happen in like a century.

I dont understand what you are saying.

Are you stating that America will never improve the technology of its roads? Thats a strange statement to make.

You know they already have technology that meaures weight and pressure to determine if a vehicle is waiting at a red light. And that technology is decades old btw

If your point is that it will take time, thats fine.
If your point is that it will never happen, i think you need to read some bill gates quotes.

I'm going by what you wrote

You said they will alter the roads to accommodate the self driving cars. Roads are apart of Infrastructure, correct?

This is the same America that has crumbling infrastructure. Bridges, roads, highways, school renovations, utility electrical poles, underground utility pipes, etc are all 50 years past it's repair date. And you think they are gonna bypass that problem to alter roads for self driving cars?

Tesla has had autopilot for years now, how old is this video.

If you're within like 150 yards, your tesla can drive itself to you without anyone in it. And yes it stops for lights and people.

Nothing is impossible. Even time travel could become a thing in the future. Not like the movies obviously, but if you could build a vehicle that travels faster than light you would theoretically be able to view the past because the images from before that are being carried by the light would potentially still be visible. High speed vehicle plus some highly magnified device equals seeing into the past. Distant descendants from far far far off into the future might be looking at us now from light years away.
