As I pointed out there are kids RIGHT NOW not bothering to learn to drive. It is becoming an unnecessary skill with or without self driving cars. And thanks to generations being raised on the internet cars are no longer the great symbol of adult freedom they once were. These kids are raised with the world at their fingertips, driving to the mall just doesn’t excite them.
They will have self driving cars on the road. That doesn’t mean it’s going to take over the entire industry overnight. It will phase through the way every other car feature has: first in the high end cars, then over the course of the next 5 to 10 years working down to the economy cars. Even then it will be another 20 years before the majority of the non-self driving cars are off the road.
Can you not comprehend that I was TALKING ABOUT THINGS BEING IN DEVELOPMENT. I’ve only said it half a dozen times now.
Tesla’s autopilot is a step along the way, they’re working on self driving, and it won’t be LIDAR. And Oryx on the system, if they get the system right they sell it to car makers. Get into the guts of your car, lots of that stuff was bought BY your car company.
You started this argument with me. You decided on the tone of the argument. If you don’t like it, don’t be such a condescending ass.
No, statements such as the one made below do not equal 'being in development'.
“this IS happening”
Again
"That doesn’t mean it’s going to take over the entire industry overnight"
does not compute with
"this IS happening”
But I will take your changing story as a tacit admission that this IS NOT happening at all, as I said.
As for the tone...I know you are incapable of dispassionately reviewing our exchange (or any of your dozen other 'fight threads'.)
You called me an ass. There's a saying about that - if you find them everywhere you go...well maybe you've misidentified him.
