So I just read this article about whether a self driving car should save the largest number of people in an accident even if the passenger would die. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a21492/the-self-driving-dilemma/ It got me thinking about self driving cars in general, because I've also read ideas that once they become popular (in an 'internet-of-things' world) people may not technically need to purchase/own cars anymore, but rather subscribe to a service which makes driverless cars available at request. So imagine, now that people won't have an owners obligation of maintaining their vehicle, what kind of situations might occur: - everyone can now have sex in the driverless car between destinations. - people can get super high/drunk (way mroe than they probably already do when driving). - what happens if you leave something behind in the car? (probably what ever already happens in a regular taxi) - can you be a racist to the car? What happens if you decide to insult it profusely, or decide to damage/steal parts of it? Can a computer sue you? - assuming that all trips might need to be recorded because of points above, do you automatically give up your privacy during the trip? - the one I would find weirdest would be the idea of sharing a driverless car with a stranger going to the same destination (I have never met anyone who has shared a regular taxi). Other future things I've wondered about : - Will Boston Dynamic release a pet version of one of their dog robots with a synthetic skin (a dog you dont have to feed or get neutered, and doesnt technically require emotional attention!) - Will stuff like VR technology change the way homes and cities are designed? e.g Can you go and visit your doctor at their virtual office and get a real prescription certified and printed out at home. What mostly tech related stuff are you looking forward to in the future, and what retarded poo poo do you think people will do with it? http://jalopnik.com/5611114/syd-meads-futuristic-playboy-land-yacht

Nobody will do the shared car thing unless it's super exclusive because they will turn into the public toilet/hotel room that all other public transportation turns into except worse because there's more privacy

I wish Boston dynamics would release a robot dog. You know, for those times when you really need to abuse a pet but don't want to feel bad about it.

I mean, it's kind of inevitable. Sure, some people will own their own self-driving car, and that may even be the norm for a while but eventually, it will be cheaper and more sensible to share a car, or do it like a service. Yeah, you're gonna get some cumstains on your pants, but what can you really do about that? It's just gonna be accepted in the future. "Oh, you've got a white stain on your pants. You must have taken a GUber(c)(tm) here, welcome to the job interview!"

Unrealistic because it implies there will be jobs for poors in the future

im so sick of that bullshit autocar morality question an autocar - or a human - that is driving morally will drive to ensure their total stopping time remains shorter than the distance to any unknowable obstacle. hitting anything is impossible, thats the entire point of these things. also utilitarianism is fundamentally flawed

I think it'd be neat if they invented a way to roll the window down without having to use that crank. And bigger cupholders that fit my big gulps would be convenient. I have to downsize to 44oz instead of 64oz which is ABSOLUTELY ABSURD

Some self driving cars will run on legs instead of wheels, and be small enough to enter private homes undetected and eliminate enemies of the state.
