the speeding ticket wasn't filmed, or, at least, wasn't shown. 🙁

12:43 he explains why.

I believe when the Tesla Auto-Pilot is released, they should be responsible for speeding tickets or traffic violations fines. If you think about it makes sense. And possible even(hopefully would be none) accidents. 😀

Nah, ultimately the driver is responsible as they should take manual control if they see a violation or something. Putting the responsibility on the manufacturer would open up all kinds of weird legal issues. Anyway, is this system powered by Nvidia's Drive PX? I know they use Nvidia for the entertainment cluster and traffic avoidance/auto braking but I don't think they've ever came out and said who is behind the auto-pilot.

Auto-pilot (for cars) and self-driving cars are 2 most awful ideas car industry came up with (well, after deciding to burn the hell lots of oil). There are issues even with modern flight autopilots... we have only 10000-15000 flights in the air (at the same time) in the whole world, and still we get incidents. And now we have 1.2 billion cars in the world... all of them on the ground. At the same time. Now do the math. I do not believe, that until humanity comes up with real AI, any car autopilot can be made safe enough. Once the number of such cars starts to grow, deaths will follow.

It's a terrible idea as long as there are other cars on the road that do not have the same tech. If the cars in auto-pilot can't talk to each other and know what the other is going to do its going to be a disaster. Of course that will never happen either because each company will have their own proprietary software.

I fail to understand how a self-driving car is a terrible idea if there are human drivers around it. At worst it would be about the same as a human; I can't fathom how it's worse, someone explain this garbage.

Planes can't stop. How many aviation fatalities are caused each year directly by auto-pilot failure? How many lives were saved indirectly due to pilot error that never occurred? Will deaths in car autopilot systems occur? Maybe, probably. Will the number of deaths be less than human error? Definitely. is it morally acceptable that the computer will eventually fail resulting in death, but overall car safety is higher? I think it is. Google has what, 1,000,000 self driving miles on their Lexus fleet, with only 14 accidents, none of the fault of the system. That seems pretty good.

So what you're saying is that it's not even one in a million? That's better than Luke Skywalker...

I'd be willing to be that any self driving car will have to be able to talk to each other if they want to get these things en mass onto any road, the talking to each other thing is pretty much the idea which makes these cars safer than humans.

the talking to each other thing is pretty much the idea which makes these cars safer than humans.

Why? A computer can make a better decision faster than a human can. Why does it need to talk to another car to make it safer than a human? I mean obviously having them talk would make them even more safe, but it isn't a requirement.

If you need to stop, or swerve to avoid, a computer will know instantly which is better, human drivers or not. It can check every spot, including every blind spot, and find the best direction to take the car. And it can do it basically instantly.

Really? Self-driving cars would be programmed to follow the rules and not drive like jackass's. If they were all networked together and all drove at the same speed, used their blinkers to change lanes, etc... everyone would get to their destination a lot quicker and safer. Instead, these cars would be in reactive mode the majority of the time because 99% of drivers are asshats that don't know how to drive.

Again, yeah, obviously if the cars were networked and communicated it would speed everything up. But in the worst case scenario the computer controlled car will be just as good as a human. You say it would be reactive, but all those reactions to asshat drivers will be done far faster and to a better degree of accuracy than a human driver, which in turn makes the car safer.

If I get a self-driving car will it take me home from the pub? Will I get a dui if I'm in the back seat?

Thank you, it's refreshing to see people who actually understand technology. A lot of people are overestimating the capability of self driven cars because of their lack of understanding of how such a thing works, the same kind of people that pretend like siri is anything impressive. People like:

Google has what, 1,000,000 self driving miles on their Lexus fleet, with only 14 accidents, none of the fault of the system. That seems pretty good.

... Google has 25 cars that drove as much as a truck driver but in a very limited fashion, if you give it any obstacle it will simply stop.

When people understand current limits of Google self driving cars, it doesn't sound so impressive.

Would you buy a self-driving car that couldn’t drive itself in 99 percent of the country? Or that knew nearly nothing about parking, couldn’t be taken out in snow or heavy rain, and would drive straight over a gaping pothole?

so audi can race driverless cars on the track and up Pike Peak (with times closs to that of a human), and tesla cant even keep the same speed.. lol for someone who wants to do spaceflight. "oh, yeah we missed the moon. welcome to..."

Until a system failure or something even worse hits the soft/hardware. Ever tried to sit in a car where the cruise control went havoc and started to speed up by itself? Pretty interesting experience when it happen on a small mountain road where you have drops to sea level directly next to the road. While the idea is pretty nice, I wouldn't put to much trust into human made technology.

Very easy, a commercial aircraft has autopilot even to the extent that it is acknowledged that most aircraft don't even need a pilot, they could quite happily fly without one. the pilot is there for the instances when the aircraft hits a situation that the autopilot can't deal with. Here's the thing that pilot is trained, extensively, even when the autopilot is one he is no doubt aware of everything that is going on around him and if it all goes t*ts skywards they will be able to take over in a calm and controlled manner. Do you think for even a second that half the cretins that have a driving license would be able to do this if their self drive system entered a situation that it couldn't handle? Do you think even half of them would be even aware that something was going wrong until after the crash had occurred? Here's a great example of how bad auto systems render the average driver, auto lights (the lights that turn themselves on when it gets dark) next time it gets really foggy keep a look out for the cars that have no lights on at all, let alone their fog lamps, bet you that those cars have auto lights. I've actually talked to people that when you ask them to turn their lights on, they come back with 'I don't know how it does that automatically'. Their is a fine line between what the driver should be doing and what should be handled by automatic systems. Of course if the system is 100% reliable, has 100% redundancy, will NEVER fail and will be able to cope with EVERY situation thrown at it, to the extent that the person is now a passenger and not a driver then yeah I guess why not, only problem is that's going to be very expensive to implement in your every day autowagon.
