Fully fledged self-driving technology appears to be perpetually just around the corner. It is a promise that the Tesla chief executive, Elon Musk, has made almost every year since 2013.

But in the real world, it is still an open question whether level five self-driving automation is actually possible. Josh Toussaint-Strauss finds out how close industry frontrunners have come to full autopilot mode and assess the scale of the problems standing in their way.

This aged so poorly
If they really want to realize their fully autonomous project they must buy solution from some Lidar company.
Autonomous driving is a fantasy, like most things Elon Musk dreams up.
Self driving car can never predict what dutch bicycle drivers will do next. (i am dutch)
There is no justification for the existence of driverless cars. The safety angle is the only thing they could come up with, and it's all a lie. The "better than a person" line is based on nothing.
Self driving cars would never be able to drink and drive. Humans always wins
There isn’t the demand analysts think and they will be an unlimited liability lawsuit magnet.
Self driving cars can never become a reality.
Non of the people cheerleading this have ever driven the London South Circular. If the self driving car followed the Highway Code rules it would cause total gridlock.
OCD Occasional Self Driving
My car has been driving me around for months now. I still supervise, but it just goes by itself until at the end of the trip I have to tell it where to park, then it parks itself, but only in parallel parking in reverse (so it can charge if needed). 2024 model Y LR FSD 12.3.6.
It may be necessery that cars, an maybe even traffic lights or signs communicate with each other.
I don‘t understand how the Tesla can just crash into the truck on the road, even if autopilot can‘t handle the situation, can’t the automatic emergency braking system override autopilot and give warning about the object ahead
because they were never real.
What year is next year.
At 30k+ deaths by automobile in the US alone every year humans don't do edge cases very well either. The test is when is self-driving better than humans, not perfect, those are very different bars. Insurance companies, lawyers and even manufacturers (and government – think of the DMV and police) are terrified of this tech because it will destroy their business models. I currently drive a '24 Prius which is 99.9% self driving on the expressway. I'm not sleeping in the back seat and I watch the road, but more like a pilot or train engineer, ready to take control in an instant. It reduces the workload significantly and allows more cognitive bandwidth for complex situations – oddly particularly useful in heavy traffic .
Tesla is currently the most crashed car in the world. Yep, that seems safe.
How would self driving cars behave in the Dubai flood ?
Elon in 2050: I am 1000% percent sure we will have self driving cars that can drive themselves from Newyork to London next year.
Nothing can reach the best intelligence ever created. However, we can always try to come closer
"AI" is a scam thats why.
Why do we want to be so spoon fed? Why do we need automation in everything? Or is it the greed of multinational companies that is fueling this rat race?
It’s important because as people age, they don’t want to quit driving themselves to the doctor or the grocery store or even through the country on a Sunday afternoon. I hope someday I can get in my car put an address and start the car. I don’t care if I have to back it up all the time but when I get into the lane, especially if there’s no cars there I wanted to take off and drive follow the GPS what’s so hard about that
Or u can just jam thir radar systom this self driving is going to take alot of yrs
Stop saying that computers think they dont its just on and off power or not thats it we tink self awareness self driving dont think
Ur British accent narrator does not make ur story more rresptfully or admirable or truerth what happened to the aelf flying car or Amazon drome delivery
90 % self driving is not 100 % self driving we need 100% i think is not going to be here anymore here
cause musk is a LIAR🤣🤣
stop whispering
Elon Musk simply loves to tear his mouth appart with his ludicrous claims and then doesn't put his money where his mouth is when something happens
I only trust myself with driving not computer's there are so many things that can/will go wrong, just look at the electric cars they can combust spotane or when they upload energy ,and its a deathtrap when its in the water . Nah leave the driving to the people, but people really need to learn how to drive and know the rules of traffic. If you don't know these things…..please don't drive thats saver for everyone
how can big name newspapers can be so wrong ?!
If Musk were honest (rather than a charlatan) he'd have shut down the whole FSD program once he realized that making it work requires a general AI solution rather than an accumulation of "edge case" solutions, because we don't have anything like general AI and we won't for the foreseeable future. Tesla should end FSD, give all the people who bought it their money back (with interest), and concentrate on driver-assist.
All the talk of hiring your car out as an unsupervised robotaxi was a ridiculous fantasy. I'm 65, and I don't expect to see true vehicle autonomy in my lifetime (which is too bad, as it would be a terrific thing to have).
No driver is perfect. How much safer do the robot cars have to be, than humans? I'd settle for 95% fewer fatalities per million miles driven.
When your insurance rates are 95% cheaper, you'll switch, especially if you operate a large fleet.
2024 next month
I saw ford was working on a self driving vehicle and if you dont make the payment it will eventually drive itself to the impound lot. Now image if your drinking and it locksyou in and drivesyou to thepolice station…no thank you.
self-driving cars ok, how about self-driving planes and trains carrying hundreds of passengers: Let's see how many people will try that?
Musk should face 19 counts of reckless homicide.
100 billion dollars well spent.
Faded lane markings
I think the main reason why they stopped developing a fully automated vehicle is the immense scale of potential job losses and the resulting disruption of social order. What would happen to all the millions of unemployed drivers? They need to be occupied/controlled to have order in society, and not many of those people can be re-integrated to the workforce. So, in order not to disrupt the fabric of society, the Big Tech has abandoned the project for now.
Self driving cars are doomed.
Tesla is way behind on its self-driving ai; they aren't anywhere close to the leading company in all this. So why is this all about Tesla?
Musk is just a talking head, whoever believes him, should take medicine for their reality check.
This video just keeps talking about the once that are just not there yet and avoids talking about waymo aka level 4 self-driving level and only talks about Tasla
The Mustang Mach E has BLUE Cruise..It monitors your eyes even thru sunglasses..If you are not paying attention it warns you…Best EV on the market..
ok
