I took a ride in Waymo’s fully driverless car

Ғылым және технология

    This is amazing. Technology has gone crazy. I don't believe this type of driverless cars can ever be invented and produced. But this is a prove that human beings has the capacity, ability and capability to invent whatever the mind can conceive. Am so proud of those that invented this wonder on wheels. Hopefully, I'll be able to purchase one in my life time. Thumb up guys. This is simply Genius.

All of these are equally true today.

    @@LuckyCharms777 Seriously, are you basing you comment about the future on todays world? In a world with cars rushing through intersections without lights in 60 mph, one lane roads, and decentralized swarm behaviors.... why would there even be busses? What function wold a buss provide that wouldn't inhibit everything else? Why would people ever agree to go out of their way to pick up others, or sit and waste time to let others off where you yourself is not exiting? There would ofcourse be larger self driving vehicles that would take people between two large commuting points like a train station and a university or some recreational facility, but there will never again something like a "buss" that takes people around a city and make slight detures to stop and pick up more people. And about the cost, this would ofcourse be the cheapest transportation available. Driverless vehicles that never stop or never rest except to charge, with a uniform simplified design to keep cost and repairs down, with a tiny battery but fast charge rate, that takes you where you need to go 5-10 times faster than today will cost litterally next to nothing and that is what you will pay aswell. Also, since there are no busses these vehicles would be subsidised insteast, which actually makes them free to use by the public. AND they still make the city save money due to fewer accidents, less roads and roads maintenance, more space in the city when additional lanes, parking zones, parking houses, parking next to the road can all be removed in favor for other things.

I think in 10 years the long haul trucking will be more driverless than not. Trucks that do not have to follow federal rules about being on the road constantly are a HUGE win for the industry. Remember the drivers can only drive 10 hours a day. No driver means more time moving and less time waiting which saves money. Uber and Waymo will have the it done in less than 10 years on their side as well.

    I assume Waymo pre-plan and heavily map their routes so it becomes a "routine" drive. You can have an unlimited number of variables where a human needs to take over, eg. traffic officer directing traffic with hand gestures, traffic lights malfunction, drivers yielding to each other etc. In Europe the roads can be narrow and there's usually a lot of "I wait" or "you go first" and vice versa. I can tell if an authorized person is holding a stop sign or not - but could a self-driving car ever know?
