a robot killed a guy in dallas but that robot was being controlled by a human, so don't bother posting about it in here. post cars that murder people by themselves, especially if they have an ipad in the dashboard, or instead of one

blowfish posted:Self-driving cars allow the unwashed masses to experience more convenience and luxury at a lower price. This is good. Driver of vehicle that costs $120,000, can't ever venture further than 125 miles from its charging station or risk getting stuck, has a worse interior than a ford fusion, and which has a computer whose function is to randomly murder the occupants of the car: I love my luxury car. It's very fast. Good acceleration

Tautologicus posted:i predict, that if this happens, people won't actually own the cars as the maintenance on them will be prohibitively expensive and/or complicated for the average consumer. instead, they will be a fleet vehicle, and one will be much like the other. and products will be sold to the passenger inside the car via advertising and tie-ins. as per usual. neutrality will fail due to the economics of the whole enterprise, and it will be a free for all among the tech companies to hoard their latest captive market for themselves.

Germstore posted:why do you continue to pretend the only self driving cars are going to be google pod cars? well, as far as we know right now, the only two kinds of self-driving cars are the Google kind that trundles into buses and the Tesla kind that decapitates its owners at 255 mph. Looking at current technology, it only makes sense to go from our current capabilities to imagine what sort of wondrous and pleasant future we could have

Tesla's press release said this was a statistical inevitability, and that their shareholders are proven right. I trust Elon, since he knows more about self-driving cars."

Moridin920 posted:My original point is why wouldn't I buy an electric self driving car for long road trips and keep my daily driver for regular city driving? In response to 'why would anyone even need/want this.' because your use cases are literally completely backwards, for one.

Why would I drive an E55 AMG to Vegas when I could just rent a nice car instead and not have the beast suck down all my gas? $75/day pff you must be retarded. Costs like half that for a decent car with way better mileage. where does mercedes come into this? we're talking about Teslas vs. real cars.

my favorite things about teslas: 1. they lose up to 40% of their range if it's cold out, like if a real car's gas tank shrank up like a polar bear club participant's dick  2. drove your car to work today? mother had a stroke and is dying in the hospital 150 miles away? lol good luck driving there, the car's still charging and won't be done for another 8 hours 3. the rear suspensions break and then tesla made anyone who wanted to have them fix it sign an agreement saying they wouldn't snitch to the NHTSA  4. They murder human beings

i like my old volvo; it cost $1000 plus a transmission seal replacement and i had it shipped up from san diego towed by the pickup truck of a man named Billy. it gets 32 mpg on flat highway with cruise control, goes 0-60 in 7.2 seconds (or 6.0 if I have the ECU reflashed someday to turn up the boost), it has AWD and enough space to hold pretty much anything I need to haul around, it has the most comfortable seats ever put in a car, and when I mash the go pedal it makes noises that make me feel masculine for once in my life

Moridin920 posted:Uh no why is an electric car suddenly not a long-distance car? An electric or hybrid car can make it to Vegas from SD just fine and the relative gas mileage savings are significant versus a gas car that isn't super efficient. If you buy a Model S with the longest range (the 85D IIRC) and buy a Ford Fusion Ecoboost AWD it will only take you 99 years to pay off the difference in gas savings at current gas prices try the math yourself

Elukka posted: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. Lmao

Citizen Tayne posted: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.
