  • They keep stopping and just sitting there on 18th St in front of camelback colonnade. The thing is that's how you get on the 51 south. Someone is gonna run right into the back of one.
  • I saw one impeding traffic it didn’t know how to use the turning lane 😡

    how is this not a critical glitch, you'd need to make it autonomous enough to problem solve in different situations.

    Program your cars to recognize a 4 way (N,S,E,W) intersection in which traffic only stops in two directions (E&W). I've come close to being in collisions with your AI technology @ 3rd Ave and Monroe twice in the last week!

    does it detect the same as fast moving motorcyle's than same as a car? what about a brick from a trailer? or just boxed in? making the car not being about to 360 camera its way out?

    Can you picture will smith in “IRobot “? “You know, somehow-I told you so-just doesn’t quite say it”.

    This is pure corporate greed and narcissism

    It's called emergent behavior. It is behavior that is only possible through interactions with each other, that cannot happen alone. For example, it is easy to imagine them getting into a situation where the two vehicles are both waiting for the other one to proceed. It's a classic "deadlock". "You go first", "No you go first", "No you go first", "No you go first" ... Two infinitely polite people will never go. Whenever that happens with a human driver, the human driver gets irritated and goes, taking a risk if necessary. The computer won't decide to take a risk, obviously.

    actually its wrong for the council and road authority to allow driverless robot cars at this stage of experiment?china is way advance for robot cars and they still have driver that dont interfere but observe?
  • @apocalypser11
    Physical tools for AI to synchronize someday. This is a horrible idea.

    Anyone have any thoughts on pilotless airplanes? Good or bad?
  • @AmboyChamblis
    Should have towed all of them and give out a hefty fine!

    Just call customer support and they'll be with you in a month.

    Nope!😝👎 This looks like Waymo Trouble than it’s worth!
