Re: The world of automation

Of course they are hyping things. However the reality is, it tends to happen eventually (remember voice typewriters and Star Trek talking to the computer? Now people think it's appearance in SF is...

Re: The world of automation

My understanding is a) most of these will end up being robotaxis, and b) the insurance companies are expected to deliver low costs (if the likes of google bother at all) because the blame is expected...

Which is part of the point. Don't want to pay even more to get the fleshy robots through the door.

Slightly different emphasis. The Waymos etc have cat 4 over particular areas. Elon is talking about a generalised capability, a software upgrade to the cars he already has out there. The twit was in...

Re: The world of automation

The appeal of contact lens is would be difficult to impossible to notice they were there. Also, no camera recording (which is what most people seemed to worry about, as if there isn't enough CCTV).

Re: The world of automation

You joke, but the smartphone penetration percentage for Australia is only 83-84% currently.

By the time the last 10% get onboard, there will be something new.

Re: The world of automation

It's being worked on, but I guess its a control edge case on the main vehicle automation thrust.

As for cost/benefit - the rigs are expensive, and getting that back means getting the utilisation...

Re: The world of automation

It makes BIG changes. First, I'm not convinced public transport survives unless it gets totally changed. Who the hell is going muck about going to a station to catch a train or tram? Long distance...

Re: The world of automation

Hasn't so far, and the bit you missed is that all of them would have to ban them for it to make a difference. Assuming that's vanishingly unlikely, autonomous vehicles would get rolled out, and then...

So we have multiple companies already driving on the streets, and Ford with a stated target of joining them big time by 2021, and you can't put two and two together with a delivery service test that...

Re: The world of automation

They are actually quite simple, and the fact they are modal is the big issue. They are at least an order of magnitude (probably two) simpler than an autonomous car, and very deterministic. Of course,...

Re: The world of automation

I think they kind of missed the point. The local streets are if anything easier than the busy main ones, less traffic, less speed, less scope to go badly wrong. The limits of deployment initially...
