I'm not even sure 10-15 years is good. They've been 10-15 years for 10-15 years already. I'm personally at the point where they're square in the "flying cars" category (which is coming "real soon now"!).

Detecting things is easy. Finding the road and following it is easy. Stopping the car when an obstruction is in the way is easy. What's not easy are the 100,000 things that the developers haven't thought of that happen in a real-world dynamic environment. And it's a situation where lives are at stake so you need to get those right.

And then there is the issue that we already have "self-driving cars" in the form of light rail, busses, taxis, etc.

I think the combination of human driver with "AI Assist" for cruise control, avoiding obstacles, and other things is likely the way to go for cars for some time.

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
