Some idiot will manage to crash into one of these driverless cars and get them in trouble.
[QUOTE=Chickens!;35872081]Some idiot will manage to crash into one of these driverless cars and get them in trouble.[/QUOTE] Sometimes what this world needs is a filter for idiots.
[QUOTE=Jessey;35872259]Sometimes what this world needs is a filter for idiots.[/QUOTE] The car will have that in the next release, a cattle prod in the seat will activate if you interfere with the program Or attempt to escape
But I like driving. :(
[QUOTE=Dumb User;35872367]But I like driving. :([/QUOTE] Then drive. These aren't mandatory and there is a manual override.
i predict a shitstorm when one of these causes an accident
Now to design a robot that can drive a manual transmission.
[QUOTE=TurbisV2;35872770]i predict a shitstorm when one of these causes an accident[/QUOTE] Yeah and then all these idiots will claim that 'It's endangering society' or god knows what else. All while it will probably be so much more less likely that one of them will crash.
Oh hey neat. If it wasn't a Prius I'd consider looking into this. Shame they picked the worst imaginable car for the job.
Sweet now i can drive to the pub and my car can drive me home. [I]The Future[/I]
Wasn't this an April Fool's joke?
I honestly thought this was one of their April Fool's jokes.
What if one got hacked?

[QUOTE=borisvdb;35873079]Now to design a robot that can drive a manual transmission.[/QUOTE] We already have that. It's called automatic transmission.
[QUOTE=DatHarry;35873379]I honestly thought this was one of their April Fool's jokes.[/QUOTE] No, that was NASCAR using them.
[QUOTE=Funny Hats;35874616]We already have that. It's called automatic transmission.[/QUOTE] yeah, let's just look at the original concept an automated manual transmission hmm we don't have that yet
[QUOTE=Mr. Bleak;35873294]Oh hey neat. If it wasn't a Prius I'd consider looking into this. Shame they picked the worst imaginable car for the job.[/QUOTE] lol I know prius is the official car for dipshits but this is like rejecting a book because you don't like the color of the persons shoes. seriously how dumb are you. [QUOTE=Protocol7;35874665]yeah, let's just look at the original concept an automated manual transmission hmm we don't have that yet[/QUOTE] yeah well we should me a manual automated tranmi- wait...
[QUOTE=Protocol7;35874665]yeah, let's just look at the original concept an automated manual transmission hmm we don't have that yet[/QUOTE] Might as well just teach Asimo to drive.
[QUOTE=Chickens!;35872081]Some idiot will manage to crash into one of these driverless cars and get them in trouble.[/QUOTE] Doesn't a driverless car by its very nature need to have sensors/cameras/shit to detect cars around it? Google just need to make it record everything and no one can pull any crap like that
[QUOTE=J!NX;35874697]lol I know prius is the official car for dipshits but this is like rejecting a book because you don't like the color of the persons shoes. seriously how dumb are you.[/QUOTE] What the fuck am I reading? Damn you smurfy, you stole my automerge.
[QUOTE=J!NX;35874697]yeah well we should me a manual automated tranmi- wait...[/QUOTE] well my friend's Passat has a power shifter, I think that's kinda both I don't know shit about cars though, and it's completely optional
[QUOTE=Funny Hats;35874718]What the fuck am I reading? Damn you smurfy, you stole my automerge.[/QUOTE] every time I see a prius on the road they just seem like really really bad drivers then again, I sometimes wonder if I'm just severely delusional.

Also, what the fuck does "this is like rejecting a book because you don't like the color of the persons shoes" even mean?

[QUOTE=richard9311;35874880][video=youtube;cdgQpa1pUUE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdgQpa1pUUE[/video][/QUOTE] I wonder how the drive thru works, the car can't know to stop at the right windows and when you're ready to move up and stuff
