In the long term, the "freezing robot problem" won't be a problem because autonomous cars will be able to communicate with each other and negotiate who goes first. But until most if not all cars have this technology it will require much more complicated software. At some point. the question: when will my car be able to drive itself? will change to: when will I be allowed to drive my car myself? Once most cars are able to drive themselves, accidents will plummet because the cars won't be distracted, won't have slow reflexes, and will be less likely to be surprised since they will be communicating with the other cars on the road. But at that point it will be apparent that the thing most likely to surprise an autonomous car would be a human driver. I think major highways will be the first places human driving will be outlawed. If you want to get on the interstate, you will be required to let the interstate (along with your car systems) do the driving for you. There will be people that complain about that, but it will I imagine, all but eliminate fatal accidents in these roads.
30% of all accidents are caused by drunk drivers. That implies that 70% of all accidents are caused by sober drivers. You tell me which is more dangerous 🤣
Saving that for when A.I. take over stewardship of the human race and can do all the _trans-location_ calculations instantly so we arrive at our destination with all our body parts in tact.
The main problem with the algorithms for self-driving cars isn't their imperfections - they're using machine learning and improve as we speak, so eventually they'll be if not perfect at least a lot safer than human drivers. However there are situations that while rare, can not be predicted or controlled to necessary level even by the best trained car-AI, and in such situations there are several option, none of which are ideal, some for legal or moral reasons. For example imagine that because of unpredictable reasons a self-driving car malfunctions at high speed, or if you prefer that external factor is involved - perhaps another vehicle hit the self-driving car - again at high speed. While the car is moving too fast to stop safely, it might still be able (at least partially) to veer. So there's the famous dilemma - if such accident happens for example on a bridge, and lets say in-front it there's a full school bus (hence doing nothing and hitting the bus at high speed can kill or injure many kids), the car might veer off to left, but in that trajectory there's a smaller group of lets say 7-8 people (and why not kids again - to keep the situation more morally charged), and if the car veers right, it'll fall of the bridge (or crash in its columns) almost certainly killing the driver and his/her passengers. So the moral choice would be to minimize the damage if possible, so it seems like it should avoid the bus in-front, and the group of unprotected people to the left, so the only other option would be to kill its driver and passengers. But then what car manufacturer would sell a car that would choose to kill you ... or at least what customers would buy it? Doing nothing - ie keep driving in the same direction - ahead, and hitting the bus is also not innocent since AI in cars can evaluate situations hundreds of times per second, so as long as steering works it's not out of control, and doing nothing is actually choice to keep driving ahead, and as in this example this option while most passive might inflict the most casualties. You can't also suddenly dump the responsibility to the driver if the car is supposed to be autonomous, because the driver understandably might not be prepared to take control in split second (not to mention that he'll evaluate/react to the situation much slower). And finally the question if an unavoidable murder has to be performed, whose is the responsibility? As the car AIs are not persons, nor legal entities they can take actions but can't be held responsible for them. So who takes the responsibility? The developers building that AI? Or their bosses? Or the car manufacturer? Well now I guess you see why officially at least there are no autonomous cars (still driver is responsible to take control in exceptional situations) and that getting fully self-driving cars isn't just a matter of technological improvements.
Hank, I live in Texas. We get to choose (roughly a dozen in my area) who provides our electricity and can choose to have only renewable energy powering my house.
"You might be filling it with your table scraps" You imply I'm even rich enough to have waste food lmao! These new fangle cars are waaay out my price range too and probably still will be when I kick the bucket.
@ Point 2 "Are electric cars environmentally friendly?": The main argument against it I heard so far is: It is incredible environmentally unfriendly to get all that Lithium you need for batteries. What about that?
AFAIK the Lithium's not bad. It's the rare earth metals that's the big problem (China's one of the big producers because no western nation wants the massive pollution!). The problem with Lithium is the supply, we might hit "peak Lithium" in just a few decades, worst case.
In India I wonder if the prevalence of very small cars with tiny motors in alot of cars helps with the fact avrage gas car does better than average electric
One other thing to consider is how the electricity is generated. Plugging an electric car into electricity generated in a coal powered plug does not seem to be too green.
First of all: The conversions between km/l and MPG are off. but here the are (rounded to 1 decimal place): 9km/l = 11,1 l/100km | 22mpg = 10,7 l/100km 4km/l = 25,0 l/100km | 9-10mpg = 26,1 - 23,5 l/100km 14km/l = 7,1 l/100km | 32-33mpg = 7,4 - 7,1 l/100km For comparison my car (Opel Karl) has an everyday average of around 6 L/100km
Using gta to teach a machine what obstacles to avoid will definitely work. If real life had gta's npc's driving, crossing the road or strange stuff appearing in the roads, driving without hitting anything would be impossible.
Hey! I live in Edmonton, Alberta! Cool. I wonder if that factory is still open. They made a storage facility so big it makes 18 wheelers look like small cars. And the whole province has a lot of crops and oil. It's basically Canadian Texas. Seriously, we have more trucks per capita than anywhere else in North America.
Hey you missed ECALL. Its mandatory for every Car since 2018 in EU, and initiates an emergency call to authorities when a crash took place. Also I have heared of a project from Audi, where they use drones on highways. Drones will be stored every few km alongside the road and take of on an emergency, show live footage to police and warn oncomming traffic by sound/light.
5:30 this is misleading. Sure electric cars still throughout their life use less fossil fuels indirectly, but an electric car is no good after 10 years. Where as most petrol cars are still on the market after 15,20,25 years. If everyone had an electric car and needed those cars replaced after 10 years, that’s horrific.
Automobiles became more popular since the introduction of the model T, but they did exist before the model T. In fact electric cars were just as popular as internal combustion vehicles. It was just that Henry Ford discovered a way to mass produce cars along with the choice of cars he decided to produce that killed off the electric cars. Imagine where the automotive industry would be if he had chosen to make electric cars instead.
We don't need self driving cards. In order to get self driving cars, we need every other car on the road to also be self driving. Also no pedestrian issues or accidents ever.
Smart roads seem like a very slippery slope tech. One could set them to track cars that swerve unpredictably, but they could also track everyone who drives/is driven on that road. Certainly other tech could easily track which cars travel which roads. The outcome here could easily be tracking every vehicle every time that vehicle moves. Not good.
Possibly, but there are a lot of issues. One being the amount of energy required to heat entire roadways. And if you don't have enough heat, the standing water on top of the road freezes, and causes even worse conditions. I live in a fairly cold climate, and some places have heated sidewalks. when the temp (in celcius) is - 5 or - 10 it works great, but at - 20 it's a skating rink....

I've thought about opening a gym that runs like this, people go there to work out anyway, why not get them generating some electricity while they do it. 😁
My grandfather had a model "T". The car was his age. As my grandfather was born in 1921, the same year as the model "T". This time period was when he could drive when he was a 12 year old. There were 3 pedals in that car accellerate positive, accellerate negative and accellerate neutral or brake. He is now 99 years old and still sane. Glory to God for what he has done with my grandfather as he is a man of virtue.
"The prediction-planning feedback loop is the biggest problem in autonomous driving." Me: "It's also the biggest problem where I am walking along a two-way sidewalk and meet a person going the opposite direction, but when I move to the left the other person also moves to the left. And when I move to the right, the other also moves to the right."
Years late, but what about the aluminum and other metals that it takes to create an Electric vehicle? Are we better off with expanding public transit to cut down on individual drivers, parking and driving space? A single bus can fit SO MANY PEOPLE

Skip self-driving cars and just make drones big enough to carry passengers = there's your "flying car". The military versions of those have been fully autonomous for several years now (autonomous enough to where they can head to a war zone, fire missiles and kill specific bad guys, and then return to base with no human intervention needed).
Those electric roads won't be free. Your car will be hooked to your credit/debit card and you'll be charged for it. To prevent monopolies we'll need an app that tells us which stretches of road charge the cheapest. Otherwise you'd just get charged for it, with no option but to pay whatever was asked.
cars charging from the road? i can already see the U.S. slapping meters on the cars to charge for that power and states fighting over how to get that sweet money.
Well, except we're not taking in to account the rare earth metals used in the battery systems, expanding the electrical grid to accommodate the high amounts of current needed to quickly charge those batteries, the fact that they didn't mention that your electric car in an extremely hot or cold environment has considerably less range (unless you don't mind sweltering heat or frigid cold while you drive), the astronomical cost of repair, higher up-front costs, the fragility of complex systems (My old 67 Ford truck had an unbelievable simple system (manual steering, brakes, transmission, a coil ignition... It took a major mechanical failure to stop it)), and last but not least, the cost of building and installing the 10's of millions of car charging stations. All that has to be added into the equation.
Rare earth metals are seldom explicitly necessary, but they have the top performing properties and we're the most familiar with them for making such technologies. Oddly, we have a need to put R&D into making non-RE parallels to a lot of our renewable and power technology. Just a little footnote, carry on.
If you have a nuclear power plant or solar or wind or wool or lighting rods or water weal . or chemical. Then no were is burning fossil fuels. why we use wind and solar on top of those other ways. Why don't we use chemical or save charges from lighting. Or water
Why would two automated cars flash their lights at each other? That’s absurd. This is about dealing with existing human drivers, not a full scale replacement of all cars with automation. Otherwise they’d just talk to each other over some kind of wireless connection.
A lot of American schools teach Ford as the inventor of the car. When I was a kid and someone first said it was actually Benz my first thought was it was some kind of anti-American propaganda. But SciShow's usually better about getting something like that right despite the American education system.

Well, except we're not taking in to account the rare earth metals used in the battery systems, expanding the electrical grid to accommodate the high amounts of current needed to quickly charge those batteries, the fact that they didn't mention that your electric car in an extremely hot or cold environment has considerably less range (unless you don't mind sweltering heat or frigid cold while you drive), the astronomical cost of repair, higher up-front costs, the fragility of complex systems (My old 67 Ford truck had an unbelievable simple system (manual steering, brakes, transmission, a coil ignition... It took a major mechanical failure to stop it)), and last but not least, the cost of building and installing the 10's of millions of car charging stations.
All that has to be added into the equation.
Rare earth metals are seldom explicitly necessary, but they have the top performing properties and we're the most familiar with them for making such technologies. Oddly, we have a need to put R&D into making non-RE parallels to a lot of our renewable and power technology. Just a little footnote, carry on.
The last bit on charging cars off the roadway really woke up the Tank Girl conspiracy theory in me.
22 mpg average! That's terrible. It's about 36 mpg in the UK for petrol.
agree. i doubt you even pass MOT under 30ish...
The US gallon is 20% smaller than the UK gallon. So 22 US MPG = 26 UK MPG and 36 UK MPG = 30 US MPG. Still disappointing but slightly less so maybe
If you have a nuclear power plant or solar or wind or wool or lighting rods or water weal . or chemical. Then no were is burning fossil fuels.
why we use wind and solar on top of those other ways. Why don't we use chemical or save charges from lighting. Or water
Why would two automated cars flash their lights at each other? That’s absurd. This is about dealing with existing human drivers, not a full scale replacement of all cars with automation. Otherwise they’d just talk to each other over some kind of wireless connection.
pewdiepie on electrical charging roads: youre welcome.
I want a flying drone car controllable by my neurons
Didn't mention anything about Karl Benz?
The actual created of the automobile.. Americans 🙄
A lot of American schools teach Ford as the inventor of the car. When I was a kid and someone first said it was actually Benz my first thought was it was some kind of anti-American propaganda. But SciShow's usually better about getting something like that right despite the American education system.
@@rowlga From my understanding Benz was the first inventor of the car, with Ford being one that made cars to the mass market
You missed solar panel roads!
He shouted out my hometown!!! 😲 I'm always surprised when an american even knows where Alberta is. Granted hes from Montana so probably not that surprising
Been there, done that, had a good time.
Yeah wish he'd mentioned the company, unless I missed it.
But yay Edmonton!
