Elon Musk wants to make the self driving cars be able to act as an Uber Service while you're at work so the car can earn you extra money. He's going to single handedly destroy a poor people industry by handing it to anyone who can afford a self driving car. LOL

I know jeez it's like, you're getting head, switching lanes, popping the clutch, sipping your juice box, changing the radio station, adjusting the wiper speed, ashing a cigarette, texting your mom, and then it's like her stupid face is in front of the A/C knob and it's a little chilly on your balls. :smith:

i thought it was hilarious how that one really long-winded guy who literally can't let anybody else get the last word made the thread called 'post here every time a self-driving car kills someone' after one person died and then he wouldn't stop posting his 'hilarious jabs' about edge cases, but don't get mad about it

I am incredibly stupid
the only thing i want a self driving car for is inching forwards in stationary traffic

p much everything else is either fun (bendy country roads) or filled with unpredictable morons (motorways)

i just dont trust them to recognise the telltale signs that someone in front of you is a dipshit who you should avoid

youre pretty much stuck in gear on the highway and if you have to change lanes or something you gotta reach underneath and pop the clutch risking damage to the penis

But how can it make a moral choice between killing two handsome executives or three dirty poors?

Obviously as a human I am equipped to do this in the half second between losing control and ploughing into a building.

100% chance self driving cars will be remote controlled by cops, they'll pull you over, trigger the airbags to knock you out a bit and shoot you in the head. The future

wowza i sure walked into that one! :v:

No seriously, even I know what an accelerating and decelerating lane is, so gently caress the guy going 30 in an accelerating lane while everyone is going 70 on the highway and im trying to merge but the far right lane is zooming by like a bullet

im glad for self driving cars because it will reduce emissions, blah blah blah. Even most predictions say about 20-30 years people won't even own a car since everyone's just gonna hop into a self driving car service like uber. The impact on traffic congestion will be significant as there will be way less of it

if self-driving cars are explicitly designed to murder people who get blase about moral and ethical quandaries I will reverse my position on them

i like the idea of a self-driving car that barrels down the road at full speed trying to swerve around obstacles while its internal thought process is "poo poo! gently caress! goddamn obstacles are coming out of the woodwork but were gettin there in 1.3 miles! hold the gently caress on im gonna pre-release the panels on the airbags!"

I think they should just make a really big self driving car, and put it on a track. That way when a bunch of people want to go to the same spot they can just get on a... Well im gonna call it a "train". :airquote:

Do they really think we'll have cars that will drive themselves 100% of the time, or just stay in their lane on the highway ?

I don't want to be the guy trying to think of all the edge cases.

e: a car that would quietly gently caress off when you're parked like an rear end in a top hat and cops starts writing tickets would be cool, but I guess the self-driving future will have the car snitch on you
