They shud be illegal. We know that most people will ignore the "always pay attention to the car". They'll take out their smartphones and chatt their way past a red light. A car shud be as good a human being for it to be legal. That's my view.
It's currently a gray area. They haven't been specifically banned anywhere because the technology didn't even exist until very recently... but nor are they explicitly legal either. That being said, given all of the enormous potential advantages AV's have, I would be surprised if they aren't legalized within the next few years.
In this case, you can take a snooze on the highway. And prepare to wake up and find yourself with 12 different tickets on your windsheild because you ran through some red lights, make some bad turns, and ran some people over. XD
not to make anything look bad but 2 years ago I drove an Audi A6 with all extras you could buy and it did basically the same... except you had to push one button for it to start driving again because it was not 100% sure there were no pedestrians I think BMW had a system by last year in the 7 series that didn't require that either. So its a good thing to have in a tesla now as well but nothing new.
I say your civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization, which is of course what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You've had your time. The future is our world, Morpheus. The future is our time.
Artificial intelligence is difficult. It will take ages before a car can at all be as good as a human being. To replicate the power of the human mind is hard. Maybe impossible.
+kingshanaman That is not the aim of the automated car. Those developing the technology are not trying to made the A.I. system as good as a human being.
+kingshanaman This is by no means artificial intelligence, AI demands the ability to think for itself, if this were true it would make autopilot very unsafe... the aim here is to have a functional open loop control system that effectively reads sensors and reacts in a pre-determmined way. AI would be programming the computer to think for itself.. This would be very scary lol
+tostoday I'm willing to bet Teslas have much better cyber security built in than the Jeep Cherokee, on which hackers can kill the engine while you're on the freeway.
If you were expecting that huge censor Google Cars have, it's because this car is semi autonomous. Google is trying to reinvent the car from ground up and has advanced 360 censor.
what other excuse do i need?....... how about wayyyyyyy too expensive. i absolutely love the car, i test drove it myself, but the amount of payments per month is completely crazy. but i will one day have my own tesla. preferably model x
you need to consider the monthly payment for other vehicles, and the amount that you would be spending each month in gasoline. compare that to the monthly payments of a Tesla after your federal tax credit and state rebates if any. when you do that, a $70,000 Tesla might become competitive with a $50,000 car. But after 5 years are up, you will still save thousands of dollars per year by not buying gasoline. It's not an economy car by any means, and it's not something that you can get if you don't have any money. But many people who buy it are buying it instead of 50 or 60 or $70,000 cars not $100,000 cars.
+525Lines It uses the paths traveled by previous vehicles to improve lane keeping so it will get better over time and work well in situations with worse visibility. Radar can see through snow, but heavy snow obscuring lane markings could cause autopilot to disable itself and require active human control.
+paulwesterberg Road markings are less likely to be changed in the wintertime where it snows so you'd think it'd record road markings but verify where possible. I'm sure the best autonomous driving program is a decision tree with the cars around you being the highest priority.
+Totally Awesome It can't read/respond to those signs yet so it is not so great for city driving. Much better for long interstate trips. Elon said that they would work on responding to light signals and stop signs in a future software update.
Heres is the thing, Im fine with all this autopilot stuff so long as it remains optional, I always want to be able to drive myself. I dont want to live in a world where you are forced to be driven around by some computer...
+faizan joyia (mac man) What if a person sneezes and crashes into your car? Riding in a car is dangerous period. Automated cars are just less likely to make an error, as long as the coding is done well that is! :D
+jt2506productions I see to much error in this automated design. Streets here change by the day. No lane lines whatsoever in construction areas. And the biggest an WORST thing of all! people will get lazy! Checking there phone even watching movies. This is death build in.
+zombi111980 In those situations it simply tells the driver to take control. There's no situation where it will drive on its own if it's not operating at 100% functionality. For bad weather days or construction zones, the car tells the driver to take over.
You dont get it or? As a Driver of a potential deadly vehicle you HAVE to pay 100% attention. Those stuff animates Drivers to care even less! If you wait for the car to tell you that you have to do something its most of the time to late. People are lazy and will even be more lazier with such stuff. We are talking abaut reality! Not some other fancy dream stuff!
+zombi111980 dont you get it? try to drive your car when you really sleepy and see what happen. if i recall, many years ago, i fell asleep for a few seconds while driving on the freeway. in case you wondering, no one is harmed or have an accident.
Men exploit technology. Technology does not choose who/what owns it. Going for a ride - the comforts are good but it does not bring much comfort when accidents occur. Drivers and passengers come in variation but the worst is when there is no drivers/passengers at all. Loaded of jokes or trolls but the car itself maybe adjacent to certain modification for lethal object or toys.
+charles A It will be a great for reducing traffic accidents as the sensors can look in all directions at once and always check the blind spot before switching lanes. Texters, drunks and drivers unfit to drive will not endanger other road users. Eventually it will allow people with disabilities more freedom to travel. Racetracks will still exist, but only the slow antique cars will make obnoxious rumbling sounds.
+charles A Nobody's telling you that you can't drive. Autopilot features are just great for safety and convenience. I can't see one negative side effect of autonomous driving actually. The car won't move if there's an object in the way.
This just makes me want to buy this Tesla model S even way more now 😍😊
u rich enough???
mr potato One day :)
AppleMurphy fak ye
autopiliot is awesome
ikr
Jacob McCarthy ya
It also learns from its fellow brethren like a Borg collective.
This is a freakin' SPY CAR man!!
that's truly amazing just imagine how far this autopilot will go in the future
So good to see Tim Stevens :) Hope you're doing well, man. Loved your work at Engadget.
Its 2021 now and FSD beta can drive you from work to home no problem!
That's a beautiful car
i am so jealous of ppl who are having this! Oh damnit!
Fully autonomous cars are (probably) illegal in most states ATM
They shud be illegal. We know that most people will ignore the "always pay attention to the car". They'll take out their smartphones and chatt their way past a red light. A car shud be as good a human being for it to be legal. That's my view.
kingshanaman autonomous cars can drive better then humans, they don't have slow reaction times and things like that.
tomsuper2199 I agree but at the moment AI is very very imperfect. Humans are 10 times better.
trialcritic so u work in AI. When it comes to self driving cars. Don't you think the challenges are enormous?
It's currently a gray area. They haven't been specifically banned anywhere because the technology didn't even exist until very recently... but nor are they explicitly legal either.

That is so cool I want it.

Where is the search button on TH-cam mobile with the update?
I didn't know Cnet was still around. I hope I don't get malware from just watching their video.
I need one!

i want that car!!!!
as with pilots, you should be attending the wheel. People are unpredictable
Mary Kali Autopilot is not.
I like it.

They are safer than human drivers already.

August 29th 2:24am eastern time skynet becomes self aware, in the panic they tried to pull the plug.......
I have a Tesla and I bought it in April
this guy is way better than Wanye Cunningham
If only it would pay my rent......
Autopilot has been around all the time: airplanes, space shuttles. Why everybody gets excited when it comes to cars?
+Ge Qu There are more obstacles to look out for when driving.
When could you see yourself using this feature? Maybe in avoiding rear ending someone
Cool but what if computer gets hacked.
+tostoday what if the plane gets hacked?
Instant OnlineMedia
Then I guess you won't need autopilot :)
tostoday Autopilot like this will be in all cars in less than 10 years!
or it freezes. force stop.
+tostoday I'm willing to bet Teslas have much better cyber security built in than the Jeep Cherokee, on which hackers can kill the engine while you're on the freeway.
now all that is needed is more charging stations nation wide where you could go on road trips without worries and i'd be sold
+MyWeedgrower You can go anywhere in the US with a Tesla, enough stations.
Instant OnlineMedia not really. take a state like michigan they don't have only two or three spots in west michigan
***** Still, you can now go all over the US with a tesla and the number of stations is set to grow every year.
Instant OnlineMedia well what they really should add is a solar charger on like the trunk so it charges while you drive or are parked at the store
***** Of if it was only that easy...
great, now I'm just two steps away from being able to drive have this
step 1: get a tesla
step 2: download autopilot
so i need this in case i need to sleep for couple minutes?
+Irakli Shalamberidze Do both pilots sleep when they're running on Autopilot?
1:11 a what? :)
I wonder how well that would work on B-roads or the shity roads we have in eastern europe! :P
That's cool, but where are the sensors?
+asdjfnljn3 The front and sides and back...

Do you know how long it took me to trust my car to park itself??
Will it remember road markings based on GPS location so winter driving isn't affected?
+525Lines It uses the paths traveled by previous vehicles to improve lane keeping so it will get better over time and work well in situations with worse visibility.

Let's hope the cheaper tesla has these features. At $70k, this is just not affordable for anyone but the upper class.
+Gary Singh Amen! Autonomous $30k Model 3. That's the future i want to live in.
what if the car in front of you speeds up to cross on a yellow light, will the telsa speed up as well causing you to run a red light?
+BCJDM If that is the case then you should have your hands on the wheel like they said so you can take control in such a scenario.
Where do you find a tesla charge station? I never see them
HIT THE ICON ON THE SCREEN AND THEY COME UP. DON'T HAVE A TESLA YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE THEM.
Holy. Shit.
All the poor people are hating
what happens at red lights and stop signs?
+Totally Awesome It can't read/respond to those signs yet so it is not so great for city driving. Much better for long interstate trips. Elon said that they would work on responding to light signals and stop signs in a future software update.
@BANTIG HD god yes... LOL
Heres is the thing, Im fine with all this autopilot stuff so long as it remains optional, I always want to be able to drive myself. I dont want to live in a world where you are forced to be driven around by some computer...
Money!!!
This is good and I think car don't need to be any more driver less. What if a sensor fails in Google car it could be very dangerous

so basically, I would buy a Tesla if I don't like driving.
Brian Tanyous Rasmussen If you like fast cars and don't like traffic jams
THAT'S LIKE SAYING IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS YOU DON'T LIKE FRESH AIR. USE IT WHEN YOU WANT DRIVE WHEN YOU WANT.
Musk will go down and one of the greatest visionary..along with Jobs.. of this century.
hey someone tell me how much is a TesLa Brand New???
Base price is $70,000. It's an extra $2,500 if you want the autopilot features showed in the video.

Does it catch on fire for no reason like other Tesla's too?
+redkos You do know that's not a common occurrence right?
Tell that to the owners who had their Tesla's explode in flames while they were in the cars.
+redkos That doesn't have anything to do with your current argument.
ok, straw man
+redkos This late ass reply, also what was your original argument? Did you forget it?
did we invent this so people can drink and drive?
No, Mary. Some of us aren't going to be doing that.
No more idiot drivers! Yay!
+Jordan E i don't know...like roaches, they will find a way to hang on even with this...
+Jordan E still have the idots that think they are better and turn it off ;p
He literally took the wheel to turn his foot was on the pedal and he never shifted lanes fake af
+Tony tainment Autopilot mode is only for staying on one road, the main use is on a highway.
