Anyone here been in a self driving car yet? How was it?

Cars are already dangerous. Self driving ones? Yeah, that's great! More ways to die!

Sorry. Just had to put that out there.

I would trust self driving cars only if all the cars ran the same software and could communicate wirelessly with a latency of no more than 10 ms. And all the roads had markers to guide the cars. Seems like the only sane way to do it. What the existing solutions are doing now? It's pretty advanced, unbelievable stuff and inherently dangerous. No matter how well their AI is trained, it cannot be relied upon 100%. People have found that out the hard way and paid with their lives. But it seems that there are plenty of volunteers!

I agree with you but billions of people everyday take risks just walking out the front door.

You have to weigh the risk before doing anything basically.

If no one took risks nothing would get done or accomplished.
 
Was in a Model X. Fucking thing decided to change lane for no good reason. The owner had to jerk the car back into the lane we were at. Scared the shit out of me.
 
I can't help but wonder how well/badly these would work on more typical roads. Snow coverage, no lines, pot holes everywhere etc... Like is it going to just drive straight into a bad pothole at speed completely destroying the car subframe or does it know to go around?

Any time I see videos of these being tested it's on a perfectly clear divided highway that looks like it was newly paved weeks ago, in the middle of summer. Such road is pretty much an exception and not the rule.

There's also so many variables while driving and every decision is a split second one, it's nearly impossible to code something like that to be 100% perfect. I think it's inevitable that this tech will become normalized but right now I don't know if I'd trust it.
 
I'm fine with some electronic "assistance" like ABS/traction-control, backup cameras and even low-speed auto-braking long as it can be turned off!

I'm 100% NOT okay with today's self-driving cars sharing the road with everyone else unsupervised by a human co-pilot. I give Teslas and other so-called "advanced" cars a WIDE berth especially on the highway since you never know when some moron is using "autodrive".

We're talking about a potential real-world BSOD. 😳
