The issue I have with this is the surveillance and networking of it.
If I could have a self driving car which did not report back to the mothership every second, I might find it acceptable.
I would not want any car which could be driven or stopped by any third party.
It would have to have entirely no networking or reporting for me to accept it, but I'm sure that surveillance is part of the deal for this convenience.
Good point. I'm wondering if it works with GPS or if it sees the surroundings and drives past and around obsticals. How can it see around blind corners and other stopped cars? Interesting tech, no doubt.
This stuff really took off with millennials & zoomers with helicopter parents who drove them everywhere for everything. Can't move out of the basement, don't want to drive themselves anywhere. And bring me my tendies! Jeez. When I was 18, my license and a set of keys was my ticket to freedom.
Drunk/stoned.... can you clarify? Do you mean the 'self-driving' software could be a problem, or Driver James could tattle on them to someone?
so if the self driving can navigate and some drivers have already been recorded sleeping behind the wheel, when will it come out people get drunk and have the car drive them home? which I believe will still be illegal, like sleeping behind the wheel.
Gotcha. I think the likeliest outcome is the (government) requirement for periodic inputs from the driver to confirm they are awake and alert, or else vehicle shutdown occurs, and police/EMTs are alerted. Won't that be fun?

Oh it is. It's been an EU rule since about 2016 that all new cars fuel or not have to be filled to the gills with computerised controlability.

For about the same (or less!) money, couldn't one just hire a chauffeur?
don't be so pedestrian! kek.
I also see the problem of people being drunk or stoned and being driven around with this now. is that good or bad?

Not ai but traditional machine vision.
