Crazy people, nobody in their right mind would ever race a Pri...ooooooh...

I just assume everything from the United Kingdom is fake.

You're wrong. People hate driving, hate commuting. I'd expect a very fast adoption rate of self driving cars.

I think California currently requires them to be able to have a human take over so they had to put something in? Regardless, the bulk of Google’s self driving is still done with their Acrua CUVs.

This is a rich man’s version of a beer helmet.

Of course, this assumes three important things - one, that the sensors couldn’t distinguish a baseball and a leaf (maybe they can/will); two, that the sensors picking up the child wouldn’t react much faster than a comparable human; and most importantly, three, that a human would have noticed the ball/child in the…

This ^...though not quite highest volume as others have said, but in terms of brand value and it’s potential impact on the segment, this minivan could be a game-changer.

I’m truly surprised when I read posts that criticize self-driving cars. I guess I’m just a super fan boy. To me, it seems that so few people actually love driving and that most people are FORCED to drive and sit there like, well a robot, with the goal of basically not dying. Driving in rush hour is awful. Just awful.…

And how an autonomous vehicle require that any of those things be given up? You want to change your route - you tell the car to do so. You want to stop, you tell the car to pull over. Ok, you probably will have to give up your control on speeding - however you’ll be able to travel faster and more safely because AV’s…

Ball rolls into street, human is changing radio station, child is dead. Ball rolls into street, human is texting, child is dead. Ball rolls into street, human is drunk, child is dead. Ball rolls into street, human is tired, child is dead. Ball rolls into street, human is speeding to fast to react, child is dead.

1.24 million deaths every year globally from human error in traffic. I’d say that’s reason enough to push for this.

Improved efficiency, lives saved, time saved, less congestion, lower expense to “drivers”, and the list goes on. Go look up some articles that describe these and you’ll understand.

a disengagement doesn’t mean the car was about to crash

“Google explains that disengagments aren’t mistakes or examples of avoided accidents but simply times that the software could learn something new..”

This article does not tell us anything useful. Google does not make any claims that their autonomous driving cars are ready for consumer roll-out. Further their testing also is in city environments which is much more complex than Tesla’s testing on highway roads. Further, Tesla actually rolled out their self-driving,…

“the error rate will have to be ridiculously low,”

Actually this is the dude at the dinner party who... has a three figure income

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you said, but the car is going into production. That’s the production car you’re looking at, not a concept.

You’ll get a $75 gift card for VW branded accessories, only redeemable at your local dealership.

When it comes to vehicle regulation and holding the manufacturer’s feet to the fire, California is the main reason we’re not all still driving around with 150 HP V8s.
