You just described 99.9% of humans driving. People tend to see one car in 1000 doing something stupid and attribute that to all humans. You don't realize how many drivers you come into contact with in a day.
Spectacular record of current systems?? Because there is a HUMAN waiting to take control of them at any sign of trouble!
Six year olds could drive if we used your measure of safety.
Interesting comment. What does 'overpaying' the market mean? If there are no people, and you need people, you need to pay what it takes to get them there. You seem to be insinuating that there is some limit to pay below what it takes to get people there, but that signifies an unfair employment market right there.
So you're comparing a $700 system to a $2500 system and we're supposed to express shock that the touchpad is better? That's a pretty high tax for a trackpad, which is inefficient at best.
I didn't notice right away. I had saved it after making some changes and then realized there was code missing. I could have restored from backup and merged but it was going to be a PITA either way.
I've lost hours of code because of the accidental swipe-select surprise. Touchpads suck unless your surfing the Web. They are too far away from the keyboard.
It won't be better than humans until they 'understand' all human situations. Currently they are trying one by one and they will take an eternity. They will program to avoid a white duck and then hit a brown duck. fix the brown duck issue and it will be a white rabbit. etc etc
I've never seen a 10 year old car without some glitch in the electronics. How will that play out if the whole car is electronic? If electric, the battery will be crap by then. Cars will very quickly go from $20K to $0
Humans do it with their eyes, so an SDC should be able to do it with cameras.
Eyes see objects, cameras just see shapes and some programmer has to turn each one into an object. How are we to be guaranteed the AI in cars have been programmed to recognize this correctly?
Driving is an integral freedom of society. You raise the cost of driving,you make it more difficdt for people who are out of work to go to job interviews. You make it more difficultfor kids to get to school. The cost of driving does matter to people, doesn't matter if it is a right or not.
You might have some wacky insurance agencies where you are from, but I live in a place where rates are regulated. Manual cars won't become more dangerous just because of automation, they will slay the same and cost the same to fix so my rates will be the same.
Paying for driving insurance for a car you arent driving just seems like a bad deal to me. When cars are completely automated the company that makes the car would have to hold the liability policy and hope they can survive the lawsuits if their cars screw up.
They're still trying to hard-code exceptions for real life, there is no more 'learning' than there was in 1985. So judging by that rate, the timeline is 'never, at a safe affordable level'.
Yes I've heard that logic before, yet here in real life, automated features stay as luxury features unless forced by law, and people cant be forced to do something that is more difficult on their finances.

Driving is about anticipation of events way more than reaction time.
It has to be better than the human DRIVING IT, and also not create mistakes that that human would not make.
Is China closer to self driving cars than Google is?
Your family 'bar-hops' ???
The only problem with your comment is that the alternative is to trust Donald Trump.
without overpaying the market like crazy

Gestures just seem to make the touchpad less efficient to me, because instead of reaching one finger down you must use your whole hand.
Yeah you don't have to tell me about Trackpoint. All thinkpads over here for the last 20 years.

I personally prefer OS X, because it very closely matches to what I want to do.
You want to sit and look cool in your turtle-neck with your Cappuccino in the coffee shop that's way too expensive for me?

More depressing than Marvin.

The Chinese are smart enough to realize that these businesses will just feed off their economy and drain it if they are not kept in check.
The thing is, they are sending mixed messages. A VERY long way to go means 50 years, not 5.

Your dreams are not supported by fiscal realities.

As long as it was the kind of winter driving where there were only two ruts in ice and the snow was blowing then fair enough.
