Zack Kanter posted:I have spent quite a bit of time lately thinking about autonomous cars, and I wanted to summarize my current thoughts and predictions. Most people – experts included – seem to think that the transition to driverless vehicles will come slowly over the coming few decades, and that large hurdles exist for widespread adoption. I believe that this is significant underestimation. Autonomous cars will be commonplace by 2025 and have a near monopoly by 2030, and the sweeping change they bring will eclipse every other innovation our society has experienced. They will cause unprecedented job loss and a fundamental restructuring of our economy, solve large portions of our environmental problems, prevent tens of thousands of deaths per year, save millions of hours with increased productivity, and create entire new industries that we cannot even imagine from our current vantage point. http://zackkanter.com/2015/01/23/how-ubers-autonomous-cars-will-destroy-10-million-jobs-by-2025/ Absurdly, outrageously optimistic. I'm not sure the technology will ever be there for 100% autonomous cars. The real world is just too complicated. The roads here are so bad sometimes I'm not sure where the lanes are. Streets uptown are practically offroading in some parts, and there are weird unspoken rules of right of way on supposedly 2 way streets, but allow parking on either side, so only one car can go through at a time. Even if the technology WAS there, what about liability insurance. If people don't drive the car, who's responsible for the accidents? Currently taxi companies and personal drivers pay their own insurance, because people make mistakes, but if a mistake is due to a software error, why should they pay? Seems like an enormous liability for autonomous car producers. And then theres just the legislative nightmares. What about states that keep them illegal. What about states that allow mixed non-autonomous/autonomous vehicles on the road. Does the technology depend on every vehicle implementing car to car communication? If so good luck getting that mandated in every state. Mississippi's emission inspection literally checks to see if you're burning oil, good luck getting those hicks to install some fancy computer. Oregon doesn't even let drivers pump their own gas, because it would put gas attendants out of work. What kind of crazy world do people like this live in. "in 15 years all cars will be autonomous" What about people who literally bought their car today. Cars today are made so solid they'll easily be running in 15 years, what incentive will they have to sell them? ADINSX fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Jan 26, 2015 |

The funny thing to me is that almost all the benefits of fully autonomous self driving cars come from a hybrid approach that we're already seeing. Lane assist, automatic braking, cruse control, and software to keep you in your lane on the interstate will basically let you tune out and chill during the most boring driving: interstate commutes. You wouldn't be able to sleep or anything, but you could just relax and listen to the radio. Traffic patterns could start to change with enough cars automatically accelerating/braking, since the car's reaction time will be a lot better than yours. And it will be safer, obviously. Hell maybe the zip car thing WILL eliminate the need for car ownership, if a person doesn't want to own a car. This is another thing thats already happening, and will probably increase. But this nearly-as-bright-but-way-more-pragmatic view of the future isn't as disruptive I guess. I am 100% convinced we will not see a car without a steering wheel in our lifetime. Its easy to cover 90% of all situations, but the last 10% basically requires strong AI.

You wouldn't be able to sleep or anything, but you could just relax and listen to the radio. ++ audi had a car at CES that had driven all the way from los angeles to las vegas for the show autonomously. not some special driverless jellybean derp-car with no steering wheel, just an a4 with all their technology in it. iirc the 600 miles or so that was is farther than any of google's cars have driven, and audi did it without anything like google's super curated inch-level map of san mateo county. i agree that the future will not be everyone dumping their cars for google cars, but rather cars will just get more and more automated and fifteen years from now you'll be sitting in your 2026 Ford on the way to work and realize that you haven't touched the steering wheel other than backing out of your driveway in the last year.

all sorts of bullshit happens on the roads that autonomous cars can't really deal with four times in the last six months i've seen something fall out of the back of a truck onto the road. how many years is it going to take to program autonomous cars to think "wow, that truck's load looks poorly secured, I'd better get out of that lane" or "huh, that driver looks like kind of an rear end in a top hat, I bet he's going to do the dickiest thing possible as soon as the opportunity arises". a robot car may be faster than humans at reacting to poo poo when it happens, but a big part of driving is being able to use contextual clues to predict and react to things before they happen and it's a lot more difficult to program that than it is to program that actual driving
