I would be surprised if driverless cars were not implemented.
Technology can improve quite quickly. Back in 2000 the iPhone would seem pretty out there too.

driverless works on controlled enviroment. Solong nothing that was not programmed ever happens. Also without looking china is the last place to trust 1 single word they say. The solar wind generators they had claimed making power was never hooked up. was just a fake show as per standard for C.

its more logicall that a drone service for people be first as there is a lot less unexpected stuff in the air. Hell look at how quantum computers fail inside human brains . untill they have better then human Ai its not possible its simple straight forward logic. and we can only hope thats never gona happen because Ai smarter then human will cull 90% humans to make the planet sustainable---- ILL BE BACk skynet will become reality. another straight forward logic fact that Ai would see and implement.

As long as all cars are driverless not just a percentage.And all non_-driverless cars are taken off the road simultaneously and replaced with driverless ones immediately.

How are you going to implement that one ya reckon?

No idea! I/ll leave that to those who are more concerned than I.What are your ideas/thoughts?

What about motorbikes, bicycles, scooters, horses, pedestrians etc.?

What about them?

Well they can't be self driving can they? There is no way to have only self driving vehicles on the road as that is very car-centric. Cars are not the only mode of transport.

It'll never happen in NZ in our lifetime ( if ever ) so why worry ?

Just as the development of space travel etc brought about all sorts of developments / inventions etc that we all avail ourselves of in our every day life, I see the technology / AI etc developed as a result of self drive / driverless cars etc will do the same , BUT actual driverless car operating on our roads as anything other than a demo / technical curiosity is pretty slim!

How much longer are these posters who don't think we'll see driverless cars expecting to live?
"Solong nothing that was not programmed ever happens."
Nonsense as usual, how much AI were you aware of just 10 years ago? it seems you still have the same amount of awareness.

I was aware of "great developments" in AI over the past 30 years. All were going to be of great value Real Soon Now.
More recently AI is losing focus as it is becoming clear that it is anything but Artificial Intelligence, rather it is attempt at machine learnings from historical artifacts, many of which are garbage.
All of those examples come from poor programming input so human error .

five examples of failed projects from someone that opened the piece he wrote with
"Insights from data and machine learning algorithms can be invaluable"
Ha, and your point was?

I can't see how it isn't going to happen.

what will your other half do? shouting instructions at you will not change the way she wants. womens lib will stop driverless cars.

Sorry to let you know that I have been married for 20 years bill, and that I have even procreated. But it sounds like you have no idea of what a happy marriage is, if your wife shouts at you as you drive.
