I almost joined Cruise as a software engineer a few years ago. These things have a long road ahead to be safe and trusted. The best solution at the moment is, Driverless only roads and roads with digital infrastructure (sensors and such) which would help the driverless car make a decision
Yep. Sensors, on top view street cameras, central cloud processing and real time data link feeds and integrated systems (similar to what US military does). Like, a car would know that 10th car further ahead is going make a right turn so it just preemptively slows down
It's not the best solution since building driverless-only roads is prohibitively expensive, even if the city has room to do so, and you might as well take a bus since you'd have to walk to those roads and then walk to your destination. But if sensors are needed, it would be much less expensive to install them on existing telephone and light poles.
That sounds way more expensive than just hiring human drivers as emergency backups. Plus that equipment would need constant power and maintenance, and adding more car-only spaces is terrible for city planning
Lets make the cars on driveless lane talk with each so they can maintain a lane properly .. change wheel to steel and put them on a rail to be more efficient..so after all the invention and work for 20 years of software u have invented the train .. and its driverless.. there are driverless metro in places like singapore as early as 2000s
I think self driving cars can be good for me. I’m handicapped can not drive. The transportation service in my town are awful. I can’t go anywhere by my self unless somebody drives me.
how would having no driver help you if your handicapped? you would be better off having a human to communicate with and help you. A driverless car will probably run you over. No offence
You would think that during this testing, they would make it so someone still has to sit in the drivers seat for extra safety, ready to turn off auto-driving and take the wheel themselves...at least during these testing periods. One thing, these companies only care about your safety as far as their reputation is concerned.
if you were educated you'd know that telsa has been testing that exact way for more than half a decade and they are building to fully autonomous. Every level of driving has to be tested to improve the software. With safety as no 1 priority, why else would we even build self driving?
A five year old in 2075: "You guys won't believe this, but my grandpa has a car that he actually has to drive himself...yeah, no the car doesn't do the driving. Grandpa has to actually hold this big circle and guide the car himself. "
A five years old in 2075: my grandpa said when he was a kid, he actually thought cars will actually drive by itself some day. He lived an insane period when billions of dollars, which was quite a lot at that time, were poured into self driving cars. They got it so close, but they never actually managed to make the cars good enough for unmonitored autonomous driving, grandpa said. There is just a brick wall just to the final level. Computers are great tools, but cannot replace humans in consciousness, they finally found out it’s just not worth the bother.
I'm not the biggest champion of self-driving cars, but I think way too much of the conversation is sensational rather than inquisitive and informative. It's easy enough to find a few silly situations to ridicule, but I don't think the news reporting we are getting will age very well. At the rate things are developing, it seems likely that self-driving cars will be safer than the average human driver relatively soon. Now that they are considered safe enough to operate and learn in a live environment, they will evolve even faster. We shouldn't let these companies get away with murder, but it doesn't seem like they are trying to. Seems to me like they are just trying to do their best in a somewhat dismissive (and sometimes outright hostile) media environment. Progress is inevitable, and in the case of self-driving cars, perhaps mostly for the better. At least if we take it seriously enough to prepare for it. There will probably not be much need for human drivers in the future, and it's important no to stick our heads in the sand and pretend that isn't going to happen. If we look at the history of automation though, the most likely way this will play out is something like this: *Yesterday:* _What do you mean self-driving cars? Don't be silly! That is total science fiction and will never actually happen._ *Today:* _Look at all those silly autonomous cars! They can only drive as well as a human 99% of the time, and sometimes they stop for no apparent reason. How hilarious._ *Tomorrow:* _We have to stop all these self-driving cars that are so massively outperforming human drivers! We can't compete and are losing our jobs! This isn't fair!_
I think it's worth noting that in problem solving, being right 99% of the quantitative time isn't very helpful. I'm not even an ultra-capitalist, but it reminds me of people who think they could be just as good a CEO because 99% of a CEO's job is attended dinners and reading platitudes in a corporate PR meeting. And that is true, but the remaining 1% of CEO time is what makes or breaks the company. Mind you this does mean that 99% of a CEO's "ultra-long workhours after waking at 5AM" are complete BS, but if you made a CEObot that can replicate that 99%, you wouldn't be even close to actually replicating the CEO. Also, there's a more general issue with the fact that many of the problems that self-driving cars claim to solve either cannot be solved with automation, or would be much better solved by other things such as decent public transit (for traffic), non-psychotic urban design (for getting around generally), or safer vehicle engineering (for murdering pedestrians).

I'm asking for them. I saw how difficult it was for my grandmother to give up the independence of being able to drive, after driving about five years longer than she really could do so safely. I was hoping that self-driving cars would be ready for prime time before my parents reached that point, but that now appears unlikely. They're saying it will be at least another 10 years before self-driving cars can be sold commercially, at which time my parents will be older than my grandmother was when she stopped driving. However, I am still hopeful that by the time I am too old to drive, a self-driving car will be available for me. Even before then, I have a brother who lives about eight driving hours away. It would be very convenient if I could finish work on a Friday, eat dinner and pack my car, then have it start driving to his place and recline my chair and go to sleep, knowing that I will wake up in his driveway the next morning.

"1:40" The fact that there have been 280 crashes over the past five years is actually quite impressive, considering they had well over 100 in just the first year. This indicates a significant improvement in safety. Moreover, many of those early incidents were not the fault of the autonomous vehicles but rather involved other drivers colliding with them or even deliberately targeting them.
How do we know these cars are actually driving themselves? What if it's actually being remote controlled by someone in a nearby location using the cameras and lidar systems?
A cruise car hit a fire truck on its way to put out a fire in San Francisco. Nothing about the situation was impressive, particularly not for the people trapped inside the burning building, the neighbors watching horrified on the street and the firemen trying to contact Cruise while calling backup firehouses to help put out the fire they couldn’t get to because of this ill-conceived and prematurely released machine.
@@L65000 The introduction of robotaxis in San Francisco is contributing to enhanced safety in the city. Additionally, there is a noteworthy issue where ordinary drivers often unintentionally block the path of emergency vehicles like fire trucks. Although this issue isn't not covered in news reports. In 1900, when cars were first introduced, there were concerns about their uncontrolled driving, necessitating a safety person to walk in front of them. They still go out control so think we should limit speed to 5 km for car with drivers. I don't see how let them drive on strees.
Tesla FSD has been in development for years, but even today it makes mistakes on any challenging route. A high school kid can drive better than the FSD computer .
Liability for accidents will be a TOUGH situation. If you hit a driverless car, that's easy. But what if it hits YOU? What if a passenger is having a medical emergency, or just plain passes out? What about vandalism? Whether they're on camera or not, etc.
@@snorttroll4379 I disagree. For example, currently, there are ZERO laws not regulations in place regarding A.I. algorithms. Lawyers could find ways to claim that "no one is at fault because the car's computer code is technically open source", or something bizarre. Laws and regulations MUST be instated, otherwise, only the wealthiest will "win" (as usual).
Self driving cars look boring. I prefer driving them myself. What if there is an accident and a cop tellls you to stop? How is the car going to stop at a hand gesture from an officer? So many problems with this..
Homeless and Payless is a bigger problem than Driverless in San Francisco. Those reporter need s bring x10 more cameras to report real problems instead of cares about car stop on roads
They should make separate infrastructure for self driving cars for maximum efficiency and safety. A fellow driver might not understand how self driving cars think or work or what it might pull off on public roads. We could see separate infrastructure especially for self driving trucks carrying freight and goods in the near future. Don't put self driving cars with human drivers, its best if its separated. It also depends on where you are using it in, a downtown area will be much harder to use vs a normal suburb with mostly straight roads.
Being involved in 200 crashes means nothin, i can promise the robot was never at fault... that guy was not gonna be hit by the robotic car, but the robot didnt have the courtisy to wait for him to hit the sidewalk like most humans would
already happening, grocery stores putting cashiers out of work to make customers scan/bag their own products, they should be used on highways and long hauls, ships, etc, or only work that is highly dangerous - you can guarantee that the US military will (or already has) turned it into a self-controlled weapon - one day, all these automatons will either turn on humanity or turn off - leaving us in the dark ages.
Why am I a beta tester for something that can run me over? Many times they have been aggressive towards me when crossing the road. If they think you are walking too slow it will literally start to jerk forward towards you.
Its always the same. Every time some big progress happens,there are accidents and mistakes and people whine and moan EVERY TIME. But life moves on and the dogs wait for another wagon to bark at.
1:30 ...so MORE THAN 2,000 cars have gotten into 56 crashes per year...or 4.666 crashes per month. Again MORE THAN 2,000 cars only got in less than 5 accidents per month. Which is a lot better than what the Human drivers can report. How many crashes have 2,000 Human driven cars gotten into during five years?
These things will never be ready full time. There are so many unknowns with these driverless vehicles, but we do know that they will never be perfect. Every day we learn something “new” with the software that we should’ve already known. These things are crashing in to buses, crashing into emergency vehicles, striking pedestrians and people jogging, and even hitting other stopped cars. Even forcing EVERYONE to go driverless will not solve all of the problems because there are so many other variables to consider. There are cyclists on the roadways, there are pedestrians and people running/jogging out there, motorcycle riders etc who will all not be controlled by a computer.
And what if imagine getting an electric car car that drives by itself and it takes you to your doctor's appointment to take you anywhere you want to go in the world and you don't have to touch the pedal or the wheel or the gas you just sit in the car and let it talked to the car in the car to tell you where you want to go to
THERE IS "NO CHANCE" I'M GETTING INTO ANY OF THESE THINGS ! DRIVERS OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES SHOULD. NOT GET IN TROUBLE FOE DAMAGING THEM WHILE DOING WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO GET THEM OUT OF THEIR WAY !!!
I'm only interested in Self-Driving Buses as I don't want to be ever bothered again by a bus driver to put on a mask. As wearing masks on buses for a long time is bad for your health and for me personally back in 2020-2021, I had a lot of seizures as a result of wearing masks on buses because of a lack of oxygen.
I'm writing this a few weeks after California gave permission for Waymo to develop operations all throughout the State. WOW! The future is now😮😊. Lots of ongoing work to do, friends.
What if the car got into an accident bad enough that the car started on fire and since it's auto lock and electric locks now days how is someone gonna escape if doors won't unlock
I really think it's best to keep it on highways. I think highways it could do much better and then as soon as you're off the exit you have to go to manual..
GM is not in the taxi service business. The reason their CRUZE taxis are on the road is to collect data & perfect the tech which will then be applied to their vehicle fleet to sell to the public. !
No. Come on. Even if there was only one accident of a driverless car accidently hitting a pedestrian or running a red light, that's still one too many. That means we still have things to work out, and the science and automation still need to be fine-tuned. At least with human drivers, there are consequences and accountability to accidents.
There is no plausible way to achieve 100% perfection with anything this complicated. It'd be like expecting a decade of films to be perfect, or 2400 books to be flawless in every way, right down to the last semicolon. Deaths WILL occur with driverless vehicles. Always. But only when the percentages are vastly better than "human only" transportation will it be the proper moment to embrace the technology.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat thats all well and good, but if there's no driver then the AI company and/or manufacterer needs to be 100% liable for any damages to other people or property. They can't just use public streets full of other vehicles, property and most of all PEOPLE, as guinea pigs and expect not to pay the consequences when their equipment is at fault. This would incentive them not to cut corners when it comes to safety, which is what corporations will always do if it means their profits still grow.
The only benefit of having self driving cars in SF. Less car break ins. Too bad they can't be used to transport open air drug dealers to jail Perhaps homeless people will defecate inside of them and then people will start to care. On the list of priorities for SF this is probably at the bottom.
No these stupid cars are unsafe. My lyft driver was almost hit by one of these driverless cars, because theyre not programmed to follow protocol for when street light signals arent working. Cant believe people choose to ride in those things.
I wish driverless cars become standard soon. So I can send my car to cinema while I comfortably stay at home enjoying my chess computers play against each other.
The type of thing no one ever asked for. How is it a necessity to have a car drive itself, why. How is this progress, it's just a whole new set of problems and inconveniences. The only reason I can think this was ever thought of it's to just not pay actual people to drive. Can you Imagine needing help on the road for whatever reason and you see a car passing by and it's a self driving one, looool

Nothing about the situation was impressive, particularly not for the people trapped inside the burning building, the neighbors watching horrified on the street and the firemen trying to contact Cruise while calling backup firehouses to help put out the fire they couldn’t get to because of this ill-conceived and prematurely released machine.

The introduction of robotaxis in San Francisco is contributing to enhanced safety in the city. Additionally, there is a noteworthy issue where ordinary drivers often unintentionally block the path of emergency vehicles like fire trucks. Although this issue isn't not covered in news reports. In 1900, when cars were first introduced, there were concerns about their uncontrolled driving, necessitating a safety person to walk in front of them. They still go out control so think we should limit speed to 5 km for car with drivers. I don't see how let them drive on strees.
Safer, cheaper, reduce the need for parking, why would people be against self-driving vehicles ?
Lose there job and livelyhood????
AI replacing us in everyway.????
Get in one without a driver trust a computer with your life
“safe” no “ cheaper” not even close and I like driving myself
Autonomous vehicle operator here. These vehicles are a hazard.
Tesla FSD has been in development for years, but even today it makes mistakes on any challenging route.
A high school kid can drive better than the FSD computer .
Not even close!
Liability for accidents will be a TOUGH situation. If you hit a driverless car, that's easy. But what if it hits YOU? What if a passenger is having a medical emergency, or just plain passes out? What about vandalism? Whether they're on camera or not, etc.
it is a non problem. that will be fought out in court and we will get an answer.
@@snorttroll4379 I disagree. For example, currently, there are ZERO laws not regulations in place regarding A.I. algorithms. Lawyers could find ways to claim that "no one is at fault because the car's computer code is technically open source", or something bizarre. Laws and regulations MUST be instated, otherwise, only the wealthiest will "win" (as usual).
Self driving cars look boring. I prefer driving them myself. What if there is an accident and a cop tellls you to stop? How is the car going to stop at a hand gesture from an officer? So many problems with this..
Short answer? No. Long answer? No.
Homeless and Payless is a bigger problem than Driverless in San Francisco. Those reporter need s bring x10 more cameras to report real problems instead of cares about car stop on roads
I feel like they should train those vehicles in Indian roads , they will be ready in no time
That’s a no then.
They will hit the roads and other drivers/pedestrians
They should make separate infrastructure for self driving cars for maximum efficiency and safety. A fellow driver might not understand how self driving cars think or work or what it might pull off on public roads. We could see separate infrastructure especially for self driving trucks carrying freight and goods in the near future. Don't put self driving cars with human drivers, its best if its separated. It also depends on where you are using it in, a downtown area will be much harder to use vs a normal suburb with mostly straight roads.
*_YOU'RE IN A JOHNNY CAB!_*
Yea...we're not there yet. This technology needs to be more improved. Easily 4-5 more years.
Nowhere near ready , total stupid idea , if people don't want to drive get a bus
Being involved in 200 crashes means nothin, i can promise the robot was never at fault... that guy was not gonna be hit by the robotic car, but the robot didnt have the courtisy to wait for him to hit the sidewalk like most humans would
I still don't like that people will be put out of work because of this technology.
already happening, grocery stores putting cashiers out of work to make customers scan/bag their own products, they should be used on highways and long hauls, ships, etc, or only work that is highly dangerous - you can guarantee that the US military will (or already has) turned it into a self-controlled weapon - one day, all these automatons will either turn on humanity or turn off - leaving us in the dark ages.
And that is the plan of the GOVERMENT SYSTEMS OF THE WORLD.

We don’t need jobs.
@@HardKore5250You don’t need one*
What happens when a drunk person sits in the drivers seat.
we already have cars you don't have to drive - they're called taxis
Why am I a beta tester for something that can run me over? Many times they have been aggressive towards me when crossing the road. If they think you are walking too slow it will literally start to jerk forward towards you.
Such cap
This is cap lol
Its always the same.
Every time some big progress happens,there are accidents and mistakes and people whine and moan EVERY TIME.
But life moves on and the dogs wait for another wagon to bark at.
Driverless cars are definitely ready to hit something alright 💥💥💥
Detroit Become Human!
They basically reinvented trains
Imagine a world without human driver error, so much safer for all the road users 😊
1:30 ...so MORE THAN 2,000 cars have gotten into 56 crashes per year...or 4.666 crashes per month.
Again MORE THAN 2,000 cars only got in less than 5 accidents per month. Which is a lot better than what the Human drivers can report.
How many crashes have 2,000 Human driven cars gotten into during five years?
Awesome 😊
It's important to take the total amount of crashes if you want to compare.
Did they solved the interference between multiple radars in multiple cars. Since nobody mentions it it must be solved right?
These things will never be ready full time. There are so many unknowns with these driverless vehicles, but we do know that they will never be perfect. Every day we learn something “new” with the software that we should’ve already known. These things are crashing in to buses, crashing into emergency vehicles, striking pedestrians and people jogging, and even hitting other stopped cars. Even forcing EVERYONE to go driverless will not solve all of the problems because there are so many other variables to consider. There are cyclists on the roadways, there are pedestrians and people running/jogging out there, motorcycle riders etc who will all not be controlled by a computer.
And what if imagine getting an electric car car that drives by itself and it takes you to your doctor's appointment to take you anywhere you want to go in the world and you don't have to touch the pedal or the wheel or the gas you just sit in the car and let it talked to the car in the car to tell you where you want to go to
I feel safer in a driverless car and riding with an unknown man.
THERE IS "NO CHANCE" I'M GETTING INTO ANY OF THESE THINGS !
DRIVERS OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES SHOULD. NOT GET IN TROUBLE FOE DAMAGING THEM WHILE DOING WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO GET THEM OUT OF THEIR WAY !!!
Canada 🍁 still doesnt have these advanced TECHNOLOGY
I'm only interested in Self-Driving Buses as I don't want to be ever bothered again by a bus driver to put on a mask. As wearing masks on buses for a long time is bad for your health and for me personally back in 2020-2021, I had a lot of seizures as a result of wearing masks on buses because of a lack of oxygen.
I think we need self-driving cars in the medical field
Scratch the idea! How much was the SF mayor paid for all the car companies to test it inow SF? That's the question!
No, but they sure are ready to hit pedestrians
Drive less car, hands free, risk free
My car's GPS leads me on goose chases regularly. I have a hard time understanding why anyone would invest their money in that tech.
Autonomous car is no driver I prefer person driving it or drive it yourself.😅😊
What insurance company is writing policies for driverless cars?
An AI one with a fully automated customer service line.
I'm writing this a few weeks after California gave permission for Waymo to develop operations all throughout the State. WOW! The future is now😮😊. Lots of ongoing work to do, friends.
Please NOoooo 😮
What if the car got into an accident bad enough that the car started on fire and since it's auto lock and electric locks now days how is someone gonna escape if doors won't unlock
The day that they say that you can remove your hands from the steering wheel while driving... That's the day that I get off the road.
I really think it's best to keep it on highways. I think highways it could do much better and then as soon as you're off the exit you have to go to manual..
u either need AGI or rebuilt highways with AVs in mind
If you even do not want it, it is a future.
Keep them off the roads
GM is not in the taxi service business. The reason their CRUZE taxis are on
the road is to collect data & perfect the tech which will then be applied to
their vehicle fleet to sell to the public.

Not buying One 😂
No. Come on. Even if there was only one accident of a driverless car accidently hitting a pedestrian or running a red light, that's still one too many. That means we still have things to work out, and the science and automation still need to be fine-tuned. At least with human drivers, there are consequences and accountability to accidents.
There is no plausible way to achieve 100% perfection with anything this complicated. It'd be like expecting a decade of films to be perfect, or 2400 books to be flawless in every way, right down to the last semicolon.
Deaths WILL occur with driverless vehicles. Always. But only when the percentages are vastly better than "human only" transportation will it be the proper moment to embrace the technology.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat thats all well and good, but if there's no driver then the AI company and/or manufacterer needs to be 100% liable for any damages to other people or property. They can't just use public streets full of other vehicles, property and most of all PEOPLE, as guinea pigs and expect not to pay the consequences when their equipment is at fault.
This would incentive them not to cut corners when it comes to safety, which is what corporations will always do if it means their profits still grow.
What’s up with that map?
NO THANK YOU!!!
NO!
The real question should be: Is that old overconfident grandpa ready to drive tonight? Is that young junkie ready to stop at the stop sign?
Te technology is just not at the level yet
This good for military not civilians
The only benefit of having self driving cars in SF. Less car break ins. Too bad they can't be used to transport open air drug dealers to jail Perhaps homeless people will defecate inside of them and then people will start to care. On the list of priorities for SF this is probably at the bottom.
Yes
I hate driving with a passion! but I still don't trust those automated cars. No, thank you.
It's there programming, don't let it stop, let it think, make decisions
I will be happy to use self driving cars.
If it means more reliability im all for it.
Sure,as with every tech,kinks have to be rooted out first.
Those cars need to banned and it takes away jobs too
This is the worst driverless cars will ever be. In a year or two it will just be a fact that driverless cars r many times safer than human drivers
I thought we were already there . Oh wait- that’s uninsured or unlicensed driver cars. Like the ones that keep hitting my relatives.
No these stupid cars are unsafe. My lyft driver was almost hit by one of these driverless cars, because theyre not programmed to follow protocol for when street light signals arent working.
Cant believe people choose to ride in those things.
I'm waiting for passengerless cars.
They will be hitting the road. Poles. People. Pets. Traffic. My nerves.
bad showing.
This world is Cray Cray
I wish driverless cars become standard soon. So I can send my car to cinema while I comfortably stay at home enjoying my chess computers play against each other.
mix it with radio control
What if we had Tesla cars for all the clients in the medical field
The type of thing no one ever asked for. How is it a necessity to have a car drive itself, why. How is this progress, it's just a whole new set of problems and inconveniences. The only reason I can think this was ever thought of it's to just not pay actual people to drive.
Can you Imagine needing help on the road for whatever reason and you see a car passing by and it's a self driving one, looool
I think that would be cool if we had Tesla cars in the medical field
Not so surprising that Smart car does not like not-so-smart people as passengers.
