I predict some limited L4 systems like the Uber cabs in part of Tempe, AZ, and the Mobileye plans for a Jerusalem cab service, which will slowly spread out and get better, but be strictly geofenced and somewhat weather constrained for a long time.

      I would give Tesla an edge purely on their innovation. They might be new, but they are persistent and their proposed tech appears to be a par above anything on the streets right now.

There were so many questions that were not answered in this video, as they never talked about their financial/business model! They never talked about how they raised capital or about their financial health in terms of do they have actual cash on hand to pay employees for the next 5 to 10 years? And finally what exactly do they sell? So many questions left out of this video! So my money is on Tesla! Most experts say that Tesla maybe 2 to 3 years ahead of any potential competitor in terms of achieving full self driving automobiles! I bought my Tesla Model 3 back in 2018 & it still drives like I just drove it out of the show room! I don’t see any degradation in battery capacity and since I bought the car I mostly recharge the batteries using the super chargers, I should note that I don’t drive my car that much, I’d be lucky if I put 8000 miles on it in a year, because I’m retired & as the Colbert 19 virus is upon us I have greatly reduced the little driving that I do, but I’m absolutely thrilled to be driving the future because that’s exactly what Tesla is doing! They’re delivering the future, they’re not just talking about it, they’re not showing us concepts cars & having us imagining what the future is going to be, they’re actually delivering the future today & these other guys are playing catch-up! Now I hope & pray that somebody starts competing with Tesla because it’ll just make Tesla better, but so far I just haven’t seen anyone come close & that’s sad!😩

    One thing that fascinated be about this video: At that green yield light the car mathematically could see its distance and speed it was tracking and figure how fast it would need to go to not get hit when crossing the lane of that on coming traffic but instead it chose to wait and see where the car goes and then to move through a completely empty lane of traffic. This could save lives and many accidents. Most crashes happen when acts merge into traffic or are crossing lanes of traffic to merge or at intersections. This really is the future of car safety

    • @enchiladaplatter1

      why are you just making stuff up? They had already input a destination and the car did not make a decision where to turn.
      That line you see is actually a z axis representation of the acceleration planned for the predetermined path. You can see a trail behind the car of data points for it's acceleration and yielding to the turing car.
      You're acting like the robot being able to see objects and compute basic kinematics is revolutionary, that's no different than its been for decades.
      your english kinda falls apart at the end so I have no idea what you think you are saying but I can assure you that you have no idea what you are talking about.

      Aside from Bloomberg's goals/intentions, try to understand what those guys want to achieve compared to Tesla. Tesla is a car, your personal car which can/will drive you, without your intervention from and to your destination(s), then, you park it and it sits there waiting to take you home. Zoox, will be like a full autonomous taxi, no driver, no driver seat, no dashboard, not a single way for a human to "take manual control" ... just a "people carrying metal case on wheels". It will probably wait for orders, in special parking lots (can be underground, can be multilevel) it will come by its own when "summoned", even from miles away, take you where you need to go, then return to the closest station or pick up another ride. This truly has never been done before and is not Tesla's intention or business future to do so. Tesla sells cars for people (at least for now), this is something else, and they are ahead.

    1. I wonder whether these systems would be more responsive in Internal Combustion Engines or Electrical Vehicles. To me , at least in my perception, ICE has a lot more variables that can hinder response time.
    2. Granted more visual sensors, accelerometers, faster processing chips, better designed algorithm to handle non linear situations would compete with human response, and reflexes. So I get where this is all headed to.
    3. And all that self driving , what is the point , other then economical to replace an actual driver ? Are they looking at real numbers in dollars to replace manpower ?

      Sure someone can definately hack these and cause a bunch of death. But who will do that? A war between two big countries maybe? you be looking at total war where people are going to die anyway. If it is random hackers what will be their motivation? Just mischief?
      The fact remains that robots react better than humans and obey rules better than humans. If a certain high percentage of cars are autonomous it will be much more safer than a bunch of random assholes on the road. Jams and eta to destination will be more precise as well. Look at your RUclips app, does it work 95 percent of the time, of course it does. But rmb 10 years ago RUclips was hard to connected to right?
      Like people don't trust Internet shopping 10 years ago too. Look at how times have changed.
      There will be hick up along the way for autonomous driving but it is inevitable progress. Like online shopping there will be a time where people cheat the system people will fix the problem and then it will normalise eventually.
      Because the goal of these cars is to reduce traffic accidents. I trust a working machine more than the plenty of asshole drivers on the road. And as things stand now, I prefer safety on road than people being allowed to crash into each other.

    An observation about the on ramp freeway test: The vehicle on the left slowed down and "stayed with you" to let you accelerate, not because it didn't know what to do, which was the program's or programmer's assumption. By breaking even more the autonomous vehicle could have caused an accident as cars behind either it or the car on the left could have rear ended either one of you. Most of the errors in programming are caused by programmers subconsciously thinking machines perform better than human thinking.
