Could a self driving car make to New Orleans Bowl??
Saw where one of those self driving cars was banned in California as it was caught on video running red lights..Wonder how one of those would fare in New Orleans with those narrow streets and parking garage turns, not to mention the other traffic...Think it was have as much chance as a Buffett would have against Ed Ogeron...Maybe we could get Eagle Beaver to ride in it...

In three years an autonomous car will be superior to any human driver. Once roadway infrastructure includes electronic landmarks, autonomous cars will dominate human drivers.

Can't wait! The airlines are going to take a hit because people will do "red-eyes" in their own vehicles. Take a nap and wake up at your destination.

I think 3 years is a little quick. Too much to do. Huge $ to be made though.

People are going to LIVE in their cars/mobile office/campers. Car toilets are coming. This is going to be a revolution.

My Uber driver ran over a cone at the entrance to the Superdome like she didn't see it and it was still under her car when she drove off. I doubt a robo-car could've been worse.

Three years is not too quick. The software is already capable of full autonomy. It just needs some refinements to avoid unnecessary stops and slowdowns to make the ride smoother and to handle rare situations. Tesla has over a billion miles of data so far. It won't be very long now.

Tesla has now 1.3 billion miles of Autopilot data going into its new self-driving program
https://electrek.co/2016/11/13/tesla-aut...ent=safari

Here is a video from November showing a Tesla driving its owner to work.

https://vimeo.com/192179727

If you want the real speed version with no music, try this. It's over 9 minutes long.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG68SKoG7vE&app=desktop


The only reason that full autonomy won't be on the roads in three years is the reluctance of federal regulators to approve it. All indications are that the regulators are fully on board and will approve it as soon as the statistics indicate it's safer than human drivers.

YEP. 3 years, 5 years, whatever. Its coming and it will change the world. I could see cities having centralized traffic controllers that have algorithms to anticipate bottlenecks and reroute traffic BEFORE congestion happens. How many lives could be saved by not having drunks on the road? How much gas could be saved by reduced idling?

I LOVE the idea of having your car drive overnight and sleeping on the way. Attendance at away games should increase!

Cities, maybe. But UPS and FedEx cannot find my house, even with GPS. Rural residents will be much slower to adopt this.

some questions arise. Will we still need driver's licenses? Or can your seven year old climb into the car alone and say "Smith Elementary" each morning? If there are no more driver's licenses, what will we use for ID? Will the Feds issue a national identity card we must carry wherever we go? (Your papers, bitte).

Will the card plug itself in to refuel without waking you on those red eye trips? How will it react to your wife screeching "Turn here NOW"? Will it take orders from any passenger or be keyed to your voice?

It's going to be a lot of fun watching this thing happen.

This is true, it mightbe adopted in urban areas within the next 5-10 years, but the rural areas will fall far behind. The trend has already been shown with Hybrid vehicles. In cities, they are great, but it is not convenient in the least for those in rural areas. I have yet to see one Electric Plug-in station in the state of West Virginia.

The technology will rely on GPS and satalite tracking, but there are an extreme amount of unmarked roads everywhere. I do not see a self driving car becoming the norm for many years because of outdated GPS tracking services.

Chevy is releasing the Bolt any day now. It has 238 miles of range and would be great for rural areas. It would be nice to leave the house with a full charge every morning.

I'm waiting for the Tesla Model 3 which should be out by the end of 2017. It's much nicer looking than the Bolt and Tesla has their Supercharger network which makes cross-country travel reasonable for their electric cars.

At a bare minimum, an autonomous car should be able to navigate to a longitude-lattitude. Until GPS data is updated, long-latt navigation should be an adequate stopgap. Plus, one could drive the final few miles manually.

Tesla has one Supercharger in Triadelphia, WV and several more in the surrounding states. Tesla is planning to double the number of Supercharger locations by the end of 2017.

There are two Tesla destination chargers, one in Wheeling and one in White Sulpher Springs.

There are numerous slower chargers in WV.

RE: Could a self driving car make to New Orleans Bowl??
I have been designing, implementing, and selling autonomous vehicles in factories for about 17 years now. You may be surprised to know that the first autonomous vehicle was created in 1954. The world is a long way away from this technology being feasible for the everyday driver on everyday streets. While reaction time when an object enters a sensing field is unquestioned, it is the algorithms necessary for the anticipation of what may happen that makes the human driver more safe. There is a safety standard for these in industry, but it is the wild west for automotive companies right now. This can be controlled in an enclosed environment, but is a different animal in outdoor environments with untrained populations and unpredictable weather/conditions. I think that this technology is good, but should remain as an enhancement for the human driver who must keep his/her hands on the wheel. Here is a little video of how we use these in industry.

The automation that car companies are using is not even close to what is needed. The technology is far away.

Would rather not run the risk of being hijacked by a hacker. Based on US infrastructure cyber security at this moment it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for self driving cars to be hacked to inflict carnage.

You may as well ask how high the price tag will be for these cars. Betting no one who is less than a millionaire will be able to afford one. And if the common man can't afford one.......then what's the point?

They are the future. And they will be here faster than many think and at prices many will be surprised at. Fear and lies will try to slow them down, but they still will come. Personally can't wait. I see many people not buying cars in the future and just calling for a driverless one when needed. The cost will be so low to do this that it will make owning a car seem like a waste of money.

I couldn't agree more. It's less than three years away. There are already projects that are installing electronic equipment along roadsides to make it easier for autonomous cars to navigate. Still in the R&D phase right now.
