This could be fun.
I guess that's why the EPA outlawed it. Not enough people getting killed because of unmarked lanes.
Then there’s the problem of oncoming corn-harvesters that take a half-lane on either side of the lane they’re in.
Lanes lines are unnecessary — if everyone follows the basic traffic laws.
Self-driving cars, where the government has ultimate control over the software. The software aggregates how many miles you travel, where you go, how often you go, etc. The government will collect all this data and tax you. Additionally, the government will allow you to go only certain places, restrict other places, allow you to travel only at certain times.
I really don’t think people are thinking through this wiz-bang technology. Why is this seeming fascination with removing you from controlling your car and placing that control in the hands of others. I only see freedom of movement both monitored and restricted by the government.
No thanks. Keep your Zuckerberg-Google-Buffett controlled technology.
This could be fun.
They need to make a grown up version of this pedal car and problem is solved.
More paint, more graft, more DOT employees voting.
This certainly is not news to drivers who drive long distances to places they have not been before.
Very hard to see lane changes on dark rainy nights and almost as hard to determine whether the sign means turn at this corner or the next.
Highway engineers are at the bottom of the brain pool.
In my home state up north, shoddy road work was a way to guarantee future employment for Uncle Vinnie’s paving company- it was common knowledge...
So a Volvo engineered in snow country can’t find the lane markings and just stops?
L.M.A.O!!! More proof...Liberal hair brain ideas only work in a bubble.
So are people. Heck, people can’t keep their lanes when the paint doesn’t suck.
Behold, citizen - your Obamacar. Brought to you by Google and powered by your benevolent government.
Get in. Shut up. Be happy.
Who didn’t see this coming? What about snowy roads? Temporary construction? Gravel roads?
Self-driving cars are at least 30 years from being “lawyer-proof” enough for public use.
Shabby U.S. roadways you say...? Blame it on Dung Heap and his "Not so shovel ready jobs" promise.Vexed Lex
This is ridiculous. Where are the lane markings when it snows?
The liability for any company producing a self driving car will be astronomical. I don’t see it happening. Too many fault paths.
I needs better AI even when i cannot find the lane markers I use other Cues to find my way and I get a headache after a while....
What about snow? Rain? Mud? Gee, every road I’ve ever driven on was pristine and never covered by anything other than pure, clean air or crystal clear spring water.
Shoddy roads = real world conditions.
And, in flyover country we have these things called “gravel roads”, that don’t hold paint too well.
I remember when they used paint “mud” cut with gasoline.
Then it was the rubberized “tape” that peeled off in rolls after about 20 minutes.
