Mary I'm glad you went for a ride in one of those things since you are the CEO of gm. I can't wait to see this service come to seattle. That way I can take the service and not have to worry about a thing. Since I am blind in one eye. This will change a whole lot of people's perception about driving. Because basically I can't drive anyway! And since I can't drive because of my site? I think the service will do just fine all you have to do is to make sure that what you're doing is what you're doing. And this will get people moving. And this will also get cities moving in the right direction! However, I'd like to see this service come in to seattle. And I'd like to see some but not all blind people and the disabled get a chance to ride those things. Even people with down syndrome who don't know anything about it. Because this way everybody gets a chance to basically get the idea of what Ryan autonomous car would do. Especially me. So all you would have to do is just make sure that I would be signed up for the service. But I wonder is the app available for Android phones?
@@ghfsd786fa I think Michael was being sarcastic. Midnight would mean less cars, bicyclists, and pedestrians, making the trip less likely to need to make an awkward jerky maneuver or a disengagement. While perhaps daylight may make it easier for a vision system, it is inclement weather that makes it more of a challenge, rather than darkness.
@@davidhelman1562 That's the problem with people that don't understand the algorithms behind autonomous systems. Yes, driving at night might be easier but the car is collecting data and this will be used to generate much more robust algorithms and incrementally move to daylight driving. Amazing things do not often happen overnight.
I'm 65, I'm not getting younger, and I'd like to still be able to get around like I have done my adult life. If I'm blessed to live long enough to see autonomous vehicles become a reality, I'll be in line to buy one. That it's a GM is a big plus.
You are not going to need to buy one. Just call one up like Uber, it picks you up and then drops you off. No need for a car payment, insurance, maintenance or anything.
@Maarten Van Gestel Maybe you can answer me who cleans these autonomous vehicles after they have been used by somebody who leaves the car in, shall we say, a less than clean way for the next person? What happens when I summon one on my app and it arrives in a disgusting state? Knowing you as I do, you're going to tell me "Wait for the next one." How long for the next one? What if that makes me late for an appointment or a transportation connection? Even if it's left for the next person relatively clean, over time it will accumulate dust and dirt. Has no one thought about this or does it simply not matter?
My grandmother has Macular degeneration and is 93 but loves to get out and ride. This will change people’s lives that suffer from issues preventing them from getting out and going. It will take some adjusting of course, but it will become a life saver in terms of preventing vehicle accidents! We still have some ways to go before we have level 5 autonomous cars zipping people around. A lot of people were apprehensive when the first motor vehicle was built and people had to adjust from horse and buggy to machine on four wheels and could get you places faster. So it will take time, but I have faith it will happen because it already is and there really is no going back now.
This was a really fun video to watch. When you have great companies like GM (and Ford and Tesla and Volkswagen) all working to make this a reality, it will really change people's lives and open up new ways of doing things. One obvious use case - if a driverless taxi becomes half the price or less of parking in town, then I can see many people switching very quickly. I'd love to see one of these available to pick me up at SFO and take me to my hotel in the City - I wonder how the economics compare to a yellow cab or an Uber ...
Seriously, this is the first time she took a ride with Cruise ??? Yet, she claimed that GM is in the lead in autonomous...just like she claimed that GM is the leader in EV. Exactly, what is her engagement in pushing EV and autonomous technology, other than making presentation ?
There are only dozens of companies with autonomous technology that can do this most simple of autonomous driving feats, a straight line in low traffic. Probably only five or ten university grad students can achieve this on their own in like a year.
So I searched for other videos on Cruise driverless rides and all I could find were employee videos or should I say clips and they were all at night. Is this available to the public or just testing for certain people? I would love to see a non edited full video during the day where it has to interact with more cars bikes and pedestrians. Will help to get a true evaluation of how good the system is.
The taxis drove in a straight line, no turns, at night with very little traffic, on this video. That is the easiest possible autonomous driving outside a closed test track. The true evaluation is that GM Cruise is five or more years behind Waymo and infinity years behind Tesla on FSD.
They run driverless (partially open to public) but only currently in a few neighborhoods in SF and currently only btw midnight and 3 a.m. I think. Starting safe I guess
Since I last posted it was revealed that their permit is for only between 10 PM and 6 AM and for only about half of San Fran, the easier parts, and for 25 MPH max.
In a straight line, on a one way street, with low traffic, in a geofenced pre-mapped area. The easiest of all public autonomous scenarios. There are videos on UA-cam of one year old Chinese autonomous companies doing far more challenging driving on very busy roads. Cruise appears to be a team with very limited talent for autonomous technology, this company is nine years old now and appear to have achieved very very little.
@@tribalypredisposed there are also videos of the Cruise AV driving around San Francisco for 2 hours. This wasn’t a spot about the capabilities of their tech.
@@cypvh74 OMWhatever. I hear they are making great progress on a breakthrough electric typewriter too. Microsoft watch out! There is one single scenario where Cruise has any potential financial value: if Tesla completely fails to ever achieve level 5 FSD. Otherwise, Cruise is working to perfect a version of self driving that will cost way more than the competition while being far more limited in the areas and use cases it can address. Show me videos of any of these LIDAR based systems driving in rain or snow, driving on a dirt road, on a snow covered dirt road (yes, these all exist for Tesla). Show me the fleet of millions of efficient robo taxi EVs anyone but Tesla will have. These companies apparently plan to lose badly to Tesla on every metric; higher cost, lower availability, far fewer cars in far fewer markets, fewer perks like in car entertainment, and that is their business "plan."
The California DMV restrict Cruise to operate its vehicles "within designated parts of San Francisco" between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. at a maximum speed limit of 30 miles per hour.
" this is so smooth". You are testing at midnight on a straight road with no other cars. The car didn't even turn at all. You might as well put it in neutral and let it slide with no control, will still be as smooth.
Maybe they should be working on batteries that don’t catch fire when charging or actually producing more that 27 EVs in a quarter. But they are the self proclaimed world leaders in EV technology.
They identified the mfg problems that LG was having that led to very rare instances of fires, and fixed it. They are now focused on getting current customers battery entirely replaced under warranty. Should GM have used those new batteries to sell new cars, leaving existing customers in the cold? Also, they sold thousands of EV in China, but no one seems to think that matters, unless the automaker name starts with T ends with A. And by the way, They have 4 new battery factories in work in the US, with new form factors and chemistry, to underpin a slew of new EVs.
@@cypvh74 GM owns a third of a company that sells a lot of extremely cheap, $4,000, EVs in China. That doesn't make GM the leader in EVs. Yes, GM finally awoke from their slumber and started doing something to address their need for battery cells, and their new factories will be ready to start ramping production in time for EVS to reach 50% of new car sales worldwide or so. Hey, at least they will be one of the assets someone actually wants in the GM bankruptcy.
Considering it has a satellite attached to the roof and they have to drive at midnight, it's not that impressive when you compare it to tesla autopilot at its current level.
It is not impressive compared to far younger companies in China doing geofenced autonomous, not impressive compared to Wayze in the UK, clearly five or more years behind Waymo, and not in the same category as Tesla.
Driving in a straight line in the middle of the night with no traffic and a plethora of gear on top of the car - WOW?? I guess the uninformed will find that fascinating but in reality this is pretty funny.
@@Ki-pk5or - Not sure if you've used it before - but I've had a MS for 5 years with FSD now and there are specific instructions to pay attention - people who don't - pay dearly for relying on Beta software & hardware. Its unfortunate but reality bites.
When I kept complaining about my brakes not working on my 2016 Tahoe in 2017 no one was willing to "cruise" with me. Or when the tranny was hard shifting still no one wanted to ride in it. I about died coming home from the mountains (due to NO BRAKES). The little girl at GM found that funny. No one takes responsibility. Wanted me to pay for them to "look at it" and if they found a problem I had to pay. General motors should be sued for all the shotty vehicles they've put out in the last decade. It's all trash.
She is also a LIAR or demented or delusional or all 3, how else to explain that GM is the leader in BEVs when they made 26 EVs jn last qtr 2021, how many did they make and sell in 2021? Answer that truthfully .
2:06 They all get dropped off in the traffic lane, on the LEFT side of a one-way street. How is that supposed to reduce congestion? And by the way, they were dropped off across the street from the Toyota dealer (all the GM dealerships on Van Ness have closed).
Long term, autonomous taxis reduce car ownership and the need for parking lots and on street parking. That frees up lanes for traffic or bus and bike lanes. Parking lots use a lot of land so cities can infill and be denser, reducing the average trip distance which reduces congestion and also making walking and bicycling more viable, and autonomous makes bicycling safer too. So more people walk and bicycle and that also reduces congestion.
Lol their posted everywhere, just go look up a video. Tesla has 60,000 vehicles in its beta right now while GM shows an edited video that doesn’t show a single turn lmao. Let’s see this thing take a left turn through traffic than we can talk
Publish the route so other self driving cars under development can be compared. And how about a daytime drive with daytime situations. Just a staged commercial.
GM Cruise is nine years in on working on autonomous and they give us a video showing their car in a geofenced mapped area can drive in a straight line on a one way street with low traffic? This video must have the Tesla team splitting their sides laughing. If you achieved this as a grad student on your own, Tesla might look at you for an internship. If you were part of a multi billion dollar nine year effort that made this, Tesla would literally not hire you as a janitor.
Weird... the vehicle arrives fast, parks in an unconventional way , not near the sidewalk (why? it's a robot), picks up its passengers, drives off and quickly back onto the lane without hesitation... same as a human behavior .. as though a human were driving it ... remotely... A lot of human emotions, and no technical details...
Lol. Mary Barra doesn't know any of the technical details and she would not understand if the Cruise guy explained them. It also would make explicit how far behind GM Cruise is on autonomous.
I believe cabs in San Francisco can double park when picking up fares. (That was one of the complaints the SF Transportation Authority had about Cruise's application to start operating. Cruise reportedly responded that cabs and buses commonly double park in SF.) After Cruise obtains one last permit they can operate autonomously in SF and charge fares.
All this autonomous thing is very inspiring but I'm not absolutely sure that if I were 85 my biggest wish would be to finally be alone in the car. Too.
What problem do autonomous vehicles solve? People unable to drive, walk, bike, take a taxi / train? If there is no general problem, how did the automotive industry decide on autonomous vehicles as a solution? A general problem could be, in 10 years there will be insufficient numbers of skilled people to drive road vehicles Technology is rarely scrutinised as being necessary or ethical, it is sold to the general public as "the next big thing"; there are countless safety, liability and technology concerns to address with autonomous vehicles i.e. the programs driving the car are only as good as the person that wrote them. It requires an entirely new local wireless grid [5G] in order to operate in the manner designed, this means installing wireless mobile antenna every few hundred feet ... potentially creating real problems for the residents who are unlucky enough to live in those areas i.e. the entire city. As with all new technologies or new car, they release it to the public and then address problems as they see fit.
Autonomous technology will reduce the time and cost of shipping goods, make jobs accessable for poor and differently abled people poorly served by mass transit, give the elderly greater mobility, make bicycling safer, give commuters time to sleep or do work or watch a movie, free streets from on street parking giving more space for busses and bicycles potentially, allow cities to build on parking lots increasing density and making the city more walkable and bikeable, allow parks and gardens to replace other parking lots, allow working parents to send a car to pick up their kids from school making their work options far larger, and to just send the kids off to soccer and so on on their own, and accelerate the conversion to EVs and retirement of the oldest most polluting cars. Besides that, yeah, no one needs them.
Future grad students in Business will study this with the main question being "why didn't GM shut down Cruise at this point?" The second question will be "why wasn't Mary Barra fired?" GM is clearly five years behind Waymo, and both are working on an approach to autonomous that at best results in taxis that cost way more to get on the road than Tesla robo taxis will cost, cost way more per mile to operate than Tesla robo taxis, will be way less numerous than Tesla's, will exist in only a few cities, and will lack the entertainment Tesla will offer to passengers. In short, GM Cruise taxis will cost a lot more, to summon, take a lot longer to pick you up, be limited in where they can take you, lack entertainment en route, only exist at all in a few cities, will be very late to market, and the whole fiasco should be ended immediately as a complete waste of money and talent. Well, the talent is questionable, after five years your geofenced car can drive in a city in a straight line when there is isn't much traffic? Tesla has 60,000 beta testers finding hard edge cases for their FSD to solve, and GM Cruise is impressing their clueless CEO by doing the easiest most basic autonomous driving task possible outside of a closed test track. If GM is to have even a slight chance of surviving this decade, Barra has to go and sell Cruise while there are people who think it has value.
UAW can pull GM out of debt by building military equipment and repaying US govt in military equipment. US govt can be its de facto dealership by selling and transporting military equipment to all of NATO countries, assuming they must increase their defeensive spending to be Putin-ready. Everyone wins, and Mary Barra can lead that. GM was the WW2 military equipment supplier leader. We don't want to destroy their critical production that leads in our defense

@@matthewviramontes3131 Data says there's always more job created by a new technology, but maybe you're right, we need to tax GM to install UBI for everyone. $2000 monthly for everyone by default would be great for a start
@@adrianfanaca9169 yea, that UBI tax should already be imposed for certain companies like Amazon. Compare them to Walmart, for example. They're both very wealthy companies, but Walmart employs roughly 800,000 more people than Amazon because they have positions like cashiers. Amazon's "cashiers" are robots/ai. So they should have to pay out a UBI tax essentially for all the money they're saving on labor costs. Same thing goes for Uber, Lyft, trucking companies, or any company who may eventually replace human workers for robots or Ai should have to pay that UBI tax.
Mary, congratulations. It was wonderful to see you in there. GM is now way ahead of everyone else. Yet nobody seems to understand that Cruise fully autonomous driving is so far ahead of Tesla et al. I believe a lot of consumer education is still needed.
My Tesla w/FSD Beta drove me 10 miles through town to pick up pizza tonight. I did nothing. It gave extra space to pedestrians and bicycles. It slowed to wait for an oncoming car to pass before going around someone walking down the road. It could do the same in your town to any restaurant of your choice. 100% guarentee Cruise cannot do anything like this, nor any other company's self driving software.
Terry Walters, it is you that need to be enlightened. The dog & pony show Mary rigged up is Geofencing on a carefully orchestrated pre-routed path in the dead of the night with no traffic & without a single turn.

2:06 They all get dropped off in the traffic lane, on the LEFT side of a one-way street. How is that supposed to reduce congestion? And by the way, they were dropped off across the street from the Toyota dealer (all the GM dealerships on Van Ness have closed).
Awesome
Now suspended 😂😂😂
It may change how people move but how does this decrease congestion?
Long term, autonomous taxis reduce car ownership and the need for parking lots and on street parking. That frees up lanes for traffic or bus and bike lanes. Parking lots use a lot of land so cities can infill and be denser, reducing the average trip distance which reduces congestion and also making walking and bicycling more viable, and autonomous makes bicycling safer too. So more people walk and bicycle and that also reduces congestion.

Can we see raw non-edited videos like Tesla's FSD Beta raw videos?
This seems fake.
You mean edited fake Tesla FSD drive. That official Tesla FSD drive video from 2019 was totally faked as would be expected from Chief Fraud Elon Musk.
Lol their posted everywhere, just go look up a video. Tesla has 60,000 vehicles in its beta right now while GM shows an edited video that doesn’t show a single turn lmao. Let’s see this thing take a left turn through traffic than we can talk
@@glockout8283 FSD is only autonomous driving 2.0. Cruise is probably 4.0 or more. FSD is different class of autonomous driving
Are those reindeer ears?
Publish the route so other self driving cars under development can be compared. And how about a daytime drive with daytime situations. Just a staged commercial.
Don't get in there again Mary.
Please Chevrolet Come Back to INDIA
GM Cruise is nine years in on working on autonomous and they give us a video showing their car in a geofenced mapped area can drive in a straight line on a one way street with low traffic? This video must have the Tesla team splitting their sides laughing. If you achieved this as a grad student on your own, Tesla might look at you for an internship. If you were part of a multi billion dollar nine year effort that made this, Tesla would literally not hire you as a janitor.
Weird... the vehicle arrives fast, parks in an unconventional way , not near the sidewalk (why? it's a robot), picks up its passengers, drives off and quickly back onto the lane without hesitation... same as a human behavior .. as though a human were driving it ... remotely...
A lot of human emotions, and no technical details...
Lol. Mary Barra doesn't know any of the technical details and she would not understand if the Cruise guy explained them. It also would make explicit how far behind GM Cruise is on autonomous.
I believe cabs in San Francisco can double park when picking up fares. (That was one of the complaints the SF Transportation Authority had about Cruise's application to start operating. Cruise reportedly responded that cabs and buses commonly double park in SF.) After Cruise obtains one last permit they can operate autonomously in SF and charge fares.
I want my own vehicle.
Let’s go #teamgm
✊🏾
And now that dream is dead ☠
Mary Barra is America's most underrated actress... Sure she's paid $20 Million for her performances... but she's never received an Oscar...
It is very dangerous , because people will not Fully trust on machine
Amazing
Wow they have to stay late to hitch a ride in an empty streets taking a cruise around with no traffic wow w wow
★★★★★ ^^
GM ?
Global Mobility !
Just here to read the salty comments...
All this autonomous thing is very inspiring but I'm not absolutely sure that if I were 85 my biggest wish would be to finally be alone in the car. Too.
This video is blasphemous
Tesla.
What problem do autonomous vehicles solve?
People unable to drive, walk, bike, take a taxi / train?
If there is no general problem, how did the automotive industry decide on autonomous vehicles as a solution?
A general problem could be, in 10 years there will be insufficient numbers of skilled people to drive road vehicles
Technology is rarely scrutinised as being necessary or ethical, it is sold to the general public as "the next big thing"; there are countless safety, liability and technology concerns to address with autonomous vehicles i.e. the programs driving the car are only as good as the person that wrote them.
It requires an entirely new local wireless grid [5G] in order to operate in the manner designed, this means installing wireless mobile antenna every few hundred feet ... potentially creating real problems for the residents who are unlucky enough to live in those areas i.e. the entire city.
As with all new technologies or new car, they release it to the public and then address problems as they see fit.
Autonomous technology will reduce the time and cost of shipping goods, make jobs accessable for poor and differently abled people poorly served by mass transit, give the elderly greater mobility, make bicycling safer, give commuters time to sleep or do work or watch a movie, free streets from on street parking giving more space for busses and bicycles potentially, allow cities to build on parking lots increasing density and making the city more walkable and bikeable, allow parks and gardens to replace other parking lots, allow working parents to send a car to pick up their kids from school making their work options far larger, and to just send the kids off to soccer and so on on their own, and accelerate the conversion to EVs and retirement of the oldest most polluting cars. Besides that, yeah, no one needs them.
Conveniently left out angles that show the driver’s seat empty during the ride 🧐
Future grad students in Business will study this with the main question being "why didn't GM shut down Cruise at this point?" The second question will be "why wasn't Mary Barra fired?"
GM is clearly five years behind Waymo, and both are working on an approach to autonomous that at best results in taxis that cost way more to get on the road than Tesla robo taxis will cost, cost way more per mile to operate than Tesla robo taxis, will be way less numerous than Tesla's, will exist in only a few cities, and will lack the entertainment Tesla will offer to passengers.
In short, GM Cruise taxis will cost a lot more, to summon, take a lot longer to pick you up, be limited in where they can take you, lack entertainment en route, only exist at all in a few cities, will be very late to market, and the whole fiasco should be ended immediately as a complete waste of money and talent. Well, the talent is questionable, after five years your geofenced car can drive in a city in a straight line when there is isn't much traffic? Tesla has 60,000 beta testers finding hard edge cases for their FSD to solve, and GM Cruise is impressing their clueless CEO by doing the easiest most basic autonomous driving task possible outside of a closed test track.
If GM is to have even a slight chance of surviving this decade, Barra has to go and sell Cruise while there are people who think it has value.
🌎 = 🙉 + 🙈 + ?
The queen of stolen valor.
UAW can pull GM out of debt by building military equipment and repaying US govt in military equipment. US govt can be its de facto dealership by selling and transporting military equipment to all of NATO countries, assuming they must increase their defeensive spending to be Putin-ready. Everyone wins, and Mary Barra can lead that. GM was the WW2 military equipment supplier leader. We don't want to destroy their critical production that leads in our defense
"Everyone wins" except those killed by military equipment.
That wasn’t a terribly sexy vehicle. Ever thought driving a Tesla?
It rocks and it’s way ahead of this terrible looking thing!
I think they wanted to do it without running red lights, getting in crashes, etc.
@@ajstevens1652 Can't really crash when you're filming during midnight and going in a straight line 🤷♂️
You think a Tesla is sexy? I think it looks like an oversize Dodge neon.
Cruise/GM Level 5; Tesla Level 3
Tesla lvl 2
I wonder how would this system react when the rider gets heart attack or becomes fainted due to some illness or sleeps 💤 because the rider is drunk⁉️⁉️⁉️
Real human being will call 911 for help immediately or wake up the drunk rider to drop him off when they reach their destination.... I wonder if they took this into consideration❗❗❗
They probably have remote passenger monitoring like Waymo has (confirmed by rider support calling in if you forget your seat belt)
copycats, nothing original from gm
Elon Musk: "But but but... my million Tesla robo-taxis are way better!!!"
Cruise is geo fenced, Tesla FSD is not. Big difference.
It IS way better
@@ElieMesso yep, Geofencing on a carefully orchestrated pre-routed path in the dead of the night with no traffic, without a single turn showed...Then got out and patted themselves in the back... Mary you lead and it matters! 😂
Too many jobs lost when this become a reality
Like what? I think you're missing out on the jobs created due to this new tech
@@adrianfanaca9169 Uber, Lyft, all taxi cab services, anyone who drives a semi will be out of a job....
@@matthewviramontes3131 Data says there's always more job created by a new technology, but maybe you're right, we need to tax GM to install UBI for everyone. $2000 monthly for everyone by default would be great for a start
@@adrianfanaca9169 yea, that UBI tax should already be imposed for certain companies like Amazon. Compare them to Walmart, for example. They're both very wealthy companies, but Walmart employs roughly 800,000 more people than Amazon because they have positions like cashiers. Amazon's "cashiers" are robots/ai. So they should have to pay out a UBI tax essentially for all the money they're saving on labor costs. Same thing goes for Uber, Lyft, trucking companies, or any company who may eventually replace human workers for robots or Ai should have to pay that UBI tax.
@@matthewviramontes3131 lol Uber and Lyft drivers. They can go back to college and get a real job.
Joe Biden and buddies approve this message
Mary, congratulations. It was wonderful to see you in there. GM is now way ahead of everyone else. Yet nobody seems to understand that Cruise fully autonomous driving is so far ahead of Tesla et al. I believe a lot of consumer education is still needed.
Did you see a single turn?
My Tesla w/FSD Beta drove me 10 miles through town to pick up pizza tonight. I did nothing. It gave extra space to pedestrians and bicycles. It slowed to wait for an oncoming car to pass before going around someone walking down the road.
It could do the same in your town to any restaurant of your choice. 100% guarentee Cruise cannot do anything like this, nor any other company's self driving software.
You, sir Terry, seem to NOT understand that Tesla is so far ahead of ANY company in terms of autonomous driving.
Terry Walters, it is you that need to be enlightened. The dog & pony show Mary rigged up is Geofencing on a carefully orchestrated pre-routed path in the dead of the night with no traffic & without a single turn. Tesla AI FSD neural network even in its current early beta is light years ahead of Cruise. Inform yourself before posting... But Mary lead & electried the entire automobile industry, right? 😂🤣
GM stock is so due to moon
