There are so many companies working on self driving technology now. All the tech used here looks really fancy and interesting. But I am worried that if one day people find out that commercial application of such technology is limited by the nature of driving itself, all hot money will leave this area(Given interestes rate is rising there will be less hot money in the future ). What's your opinion on this?
You tell us waymo
This tech still got long way to go. I would not bet a computer to drive my car. All those radar and tech in the car will also cost a lot of money for the average joe to afford.
The radars are actually pretty cheap.
making them do something useful is not
It is the future. In trucking, running shuttles, buses and cabs. I still believe personal self driving car is still at a distant future. The issue is not the technology, it's rather the regulation and safety requirements.
Oh come on, the issue is also the technology. How long have we had speech recognition (dragon naturally speaking anyone) and yet it still sucks. Regulation exists because not everyone has the same level of confidence as the typical yuppie overconfident software engineer. We’ve had autopilot for a while too- and even ones that can land the plane itself. How many people do you know that would get in a plane without a pilot?
Waymo has driven how many miles without causing an accident? The tech is not here yet but it's close, only a few years for defined routes in normal weather. Who the hell still uses the word "yuppie"?
As someone who can't drive (bad eyesight), I hope self driving cars come tomorrow.
It’s not able arguing the need, but to discuss when we will get there if possible.
As someone who is just too lazy to drive, I hope teleportation comes tomorrow.
YES but will take a while
Not for another 50-100 years. 🍆
No way, I’d say 20 years max. You’re under-estimating the pace of technology. The phone I’m typing this on is orders of magnitude more powerful than the most expensive supercomputer money could buy 50 years ago.
It’s not about technology, it’s about risks. You will have a few driverless cars kill someone and it will be game over for the whole industry for a few decades. 🍆
Don’t let this thread make you forget that Tesla will fraudulently take customer deposits for Full Self Driver tech, despite the fact that those cars will be scrapped before that tech comes online. Musk claims it’ll come out next yr though. Lol, what a subsidy-seeking truffle pig fraud boy Musk is.
Most profitable stock in my portfolio is tsla
You must be picking shitty stocks then

Hahah! Totally
