Japanese Robot Car Drives Itself, Seats One

[Spikethebloody]

i don't see the point in a car that drives itself when you could,i don't no drive it yourself.
i mean it doesn't exactly look very hard to drive,what's its top speed about 30mph.
now this is a car that drives itself and is actually use-full

I like seeing new technologies developed. But not when it makes people lazy. Instead of trying to make cars that drive on their own why don't more people try to do what the good people of Amsterdam and Copenhagen are doing and ride a bicycle? It's healthy, it feels good and it's environment friendly. About 40% of people living in Amsterdam ride their bikes on a daily basis. Cycling culture in Japan used to be strong. But they're becoming more and more like the US.

go home, your drunk.
lazy people are progress of humanity.
it was thanks to lazy people that we have such things as pens, washing machines, chairs, cars and even your own bycycles.
also this.

My dad does a lot of work on Mercedes electronics and I've had conversations with him about this plenty of times. The technology has been around for a while, the problem is infrastructure and to a smaller degree reliability. The redundancy levels would have to be seriously well designed for self driving cars to be adopted and most people would NOT want to be early adopters.

I'm pretty sure there's some R&D guys in the major car manufacturers working on stuff like this on a massive scale, it's almost certainly the future.
