Many of the car OEMs have declared that they will scale back from self-driving efforts to driver-assist or ADAS. They were doing that before this all started and plan to keep doing it, but the computing and sensor technology built in part for self-driving is going to produce cars that are much harder to crash. This is much more tractable because you don’t have to solve all the driving problems, you just have to notice when a driver is doing something wrong that can be corrected.
As such, while ADAS will improve driver safety, it won’t make it perfect, nor likely as good as the robocars will eventually make it as they move to being superhuman at preventing accidents, including accident avoidance when not at fault.Delivering cargo is a more tractable problem.
Waabi, a year-old startup in Toronto taking a machine learning plus simulation approach just announced today that big-rig trucking will be their target.Even before Waymo began at Google, companies were making self-driving mining vehicles and farming tractors, and that effort continues, and is getting better and better. Robots will be roaming around warehouse lots, enclaves and campuses — and they already are. Several companies made shuttles and vehicles for places like retirement communities.
A Freeway car is a full self-driving car, just limited to certain roads. However, because freeways don’t allow you to pull over and stop to switch from self-driving to manual mode, the idea of the “level 3” standby driver was proposed, since you need to have somebody take over while on the freeway before the manual-zone appears. Otherwise there is no need for the live transition and no confusion about mythical “levels.
Allow cars to flexibly park themselves, valet-style in all forms of new spaces to eliminate the need for most parking lots.Low cost delivery
Zero. Stupidest idea in automotive history.
Then we continue to rely on ourselves to pass the licensing requirements?
Why do we want self driving cars again? this means that we are allowing technology to be able to drive for us. What happens if the companies dont want us to drive. and they turn off the car?
I'm guessing things will continue as they have since the invention of the automobile
fake news. it already has.
The next, perhaps? Be patient.
