No worse than the average moron parking job in your random super market or Walmart parking lot where they take up 2 spots parking crooked.That self-driving car parks sloppily.

I'm not sure about the cars in the video; but the retrofitted models, the ones in the testing, were driven on normal roadways without any control (but they were monitored by Google remotely; but the computer did all the driving). Their first iteration asked the drivers to take back over when it recognized road work--but the latest ones don't even do that, they can easily navigate it I believe.How uncontrolled are the google driverless cars now? I would assume that all their testing has been done on private roadways under very controlled conditions.
Controlled conditions? Absolutely. Private roadways? Nope.How uncontrolled are the google driverless cars now? I would assume that all their testing has been done on private roadways under very controlled conditions.
Delft University of Technology: 'Beam me up, data'Article_sl said:But reliability of quantum teleportation has been elusive. For example, in 2009, University of Maryland physicists demonstrated the transfer of quantum information, but only one of every 100 million attempts succeeded, meaning that transferring a single bit of quantum information required roughly 10 minutes.
In contrast, the scientists at Delft have achieved the ability "deterministically," meaning they can now teleport the quantum state of two entangled electrons accurately 100 percent of the time.
I hear they get fucked over by snow. I doubt they use radar but I guess I don't know.I guess I could google this but what fun would that be. I'm assuming these vehicles use a combination of cameras and radar. How is that gonna work in extreme cold and in rain, snow, freezing rain etc? Testing in ideal conditions is nice and all but that shit just isn't realistic for 90% (made up number) of the roads out there. Also how exactly can they program these to deal with Asian woman drivers?
As for the drive thru. How is it gonna know which window to go to and when to skip the first one when you have multiple?
Dude, they've driven hundreds of thousands of miles on Californian public road ways.How uncontrolled are the google driverless cars now? I would assume that all their testing has been done on private roadways under very controlled conditions.
Our vehicles have now logged nearly 700,000 autonomous miles, and with every passing mile we're growing more optimistic that we're heading toward an achievable goal-a vehicle that operates fully without human intervention.
The insurance companies would also have massively reduced costs. Overall the car insurance industry would shrink, sure, but there'd still be money to be made.I don't understand why the automobile industry would even fight this at all, every single person in the country would essentially need a new car to be current. The people that need to worry is your local LEO who can no longer pull you over for bullshit traffic violations and automobile insurance companies are the ones that should be shitting themselves for fear of lost income.
If theirs no steering wheel, all seats can be the drivers seat!I look forward to the cops giving tickets to a driver for being intoxicated while in the drivers seat of an antonymous vehicle.
Same could be said for single payer in the US as well but you see how that has gone over, money to be made isn't the same and industries no matter how fucking useless and no longer needed don't like to shrink if they can help it.The insurance companies would also have massively reduced costs.

Liability insurance makes up the lions share of the market when it comes to automobile insurance, how can a passenger of completely autonomous vehicle be liable for any accident that may occur? The banks may force you to have insurance to cover the property initially while you pay it off but that ends as soon as the bank note ends, eventually the numbers will even back out to what they are today without the need for liability insurance which cost the insurance companies a fuck load of profit.Insurance companies stand to make bank on this, especially in the beginning stages when everybody switches over. You will still want insurance on the property (self driving car) you own, and the banks will still require it. But now since the technology itself will make accidents rare or even obsolete, they will be doing more collecting rather than paying out. Win/win for insurance.
