Autopilot
 

I don't know if this is the right place to post but I'm sure you guys have seen autopilot on youtube and all...and they say it's way more intelligent and safer than human driving. It can avoid accidents and make safer decision in less than 0.1 second.

You can even download an app for your smartphone so that you can call your car like a cab.
When you arrive at the destination, like grocery store for example, it will automatically go park by itself and when you're done, it will come get you.
I didn't know that the technology nowadays is so advanced.

Anyways my question is, is it legal in BC? I guess not yet? But I'm guessing it's just a matter of time.
Apparently autopilot is already legal in California, Florida, etc..and other states are considering making it legal.
But I wonder what would happen when it hits other cars or people?
Will you be responsible? I'm just curious. :confused:

The only way the technology will be accepted is if everything was recorded on video to prove it was the human driver at fault.

Nissan president Carlos Ghosn was having an interview too. I saw his video and he said he believes that this technology should decrease the numbers of cars on the road and it's good for car sharing.

So mom goes to work, the car will go home by itself, then it will pick up a son to take him to school, and from there, it will go to where husband is to go buy computer, etc...

hmm so I guess it's gonna have a blackbox or something to show who was driving.

To give us all a better perspective of what the OP is talking about

watch the car park in a loading zone/handicap zone/taxi zone/bus stop :P

try to call it an hour later and its stuck in an impound yard

but seeing how slow it drives once the girl got out...id kinda be pissed if i got stuck behind that car doing 1/2 a kmph in an underground parking lot while it searches for a spot.

in that case, fuck taxi's! get dropped off dt and have the car pick me up when im drunk and let it return home while it drives itself, i'll be passed out on the back seats.

lol, if the technology became cheap enough to have in even base model camry or something, taxi's will go out of business lol

it works well until someone runs the auto pilot car over when the car is trying to be at number 3 road in richmond. how is hte pilot car going to move itself out of the road?

how does it figure out what to do when the car hits a bystander; does it continue to route?

We can only hope.

So will truck drivers, bus drivers and those girls that work for Lordco.

Not gonna be a mainstream thing for a loooooooooooooooooooong time.
