It’s gonna take a lot more data and trust building to convince me to get in an autonomous piloted vehicle. After working in an industry that does autonomous driving and seeing some of it for myself, i don’t trust it at all.
Im not gonna call out companies by name. I didn’t work for any of them, we supplied them with the motor control systems they were using, laying all their stuff on top of ours.
I didn’t think the advanced engineering division we had that did do self driving stuff was all that great either tho.
There’s a lot more issues that are inherent to this that I’m against making this mainstream. E.g. if these cars get special road status, will it be maintenance and changes (humans can read signs)? If there will be competition, will the cars then drive empty near places to shorten waiting times? Will it drive these companies to push propaganda to build cities for cars again (i.e. inventing “Jaywalking”, round 2)?

Which industry?
Heavy duty truck industry
Whose terrible self-driving stack?

To be fair, it’s really hard to get right. I don’t think it’s fair to discount the technology as a whole just because some people are failing.
That’s fair, my issue was mostly in how much testing was done before things were allowed on the road.
Agreed that safety is paramount, and thorough testing is a vital component.
