It is completely possible to stymie a Google self-driving car as a cyclist just by standing with your bike at a stop sign.

Didn't you admit you don't drive cars and you're whiny about self-driving cars because you're afraid they're going to run you down while you're walking/cycling through your white neighborhood

I’d make eye contact with him and fart. I did it all the time for like two years. I didn’t even know his full name, just heard that his coworkers thought he was a nut for complaining about “the guy who would fart on me in the break room”

You're aware that they don't work as they are now in precipitation, right? How is a vehicle that refuses to work in rain or snow at all useful in most of the country? How is "doesn't work 150 days a year" a hot take?

Maybe they'll work that out in thirty years.

I've been saying they're decades off since I started posting about it, which is also the opinion of the guy in charge of the project at Google.

These threads are full of people who know nothing about them but think they're going to be commercially available and rolling around on a street near you any minute. That's not happening.

We are not "mere years" away either. You're kidding yourself.

Again , how dont you see, I couldn't give a gently caress less about any of this , but the fact that even though you don't really know any technical details about any of this but feel qualified to speak as a common sense expert by piecing together other peoples broad "common sense" takes ion the technology and have spent pages ranting about irresponsible companies using this knowledge is hilarious. But maybe one day they'll finally make an electric motor that can generate enough torque to accelerate

The "electric motors don't make torque" was someone else, not me.

It's an acknowledged fact that the LIDAR systems don't work in rain. That makes them useless in most of the country.

Lol, which is exactly what you've spent countless pages in two threads doing.

Autopilot should not be blamed for any of the accidents as the driver has the ability to override it any time and should be aware of what is happening.

Just like Pokemon Go should not blamed for idiots crossing highways and getting hit by vehicles.

Why can't anybody accept responsibility for their actions any more?

This is a thing but it's not that one-sided really. An electric car will lose a predictable amount of range in cold temperatures that you would take into account before buying one. A conventional car's battery will similarly lose power in cold temperatures which regularly causes cars with worn batteries to not start at all.

The year is 2046, because that is thirty years from 2016. I use my mobile app to summon an Uber autonomous cab to take me to work. It arrives with several major body panels missing. The door pops open and I slide into the back seat, careful to avoid the piles of feces and used needles littering the floor. The car shudders off like an old shopping cart, because two of the tires are blown. "This is progress," I think to myself.
