@@blackdiamond306 Has Tesla been hacked yet? they do literally everything over the air, even complete software updates. And they've been doing it for over 10 years this way. The summon function is nearly as old (shown here by Merc as being 'new'). Tesla is lightyears ahead on all of them.

How is GM struggling? GM is ranked 4th in revenue, way ahead of Tesla who isn't even in the top ten. Just because Tesla's got a big market cap doesn't make it the most successful automotive company.
@@broses GM saw sales in China drop by 25%. They have struggled with EV production, both the Lyriq and Hunmer EV. Software issues bricking the Lyriq and Hummer. Their management of the Bolt battery recall has been mixed at best. Barra had claimed the would have dozens of EVs in production in 2022, nope. Good chance they will not in 2024 or 2025. The ICE factories will become a liability quickly as market shifts from EV to ICE. GM announced dumping more money into ICE R&D, which is insane at this point. They face some serious economic challenges trying to make the switch. ICE parts will go up in price as volume declines. Economies of scale will shift to against them for all ICE products. I doubt their Mexico EV factory lines are on schedule. I suspect more delays coming from them. GM also carries a large chunk of debt. VW and Toyota are in more debt, but all of it is going to be a challenge to deal with.
@@broses GM is shrinking. They produced over 3 million cars in 2016 and have produced fewer and fewer cars every year since. Last year they fell short of 2.3 million.

I’m just back from a short trip to China. There EV cars look amazing. Sitting in one and looking at the features they look like ultra high end vehicles.
Mr. Dunn predicted China would be able to make 5 million EV cars in 2025. But this has been achieved in 2022. And the subsidies have generally stopped and the car market is a free market.
Because there are is charging absolutely everywhere. I have seen new highway, with new resting place. The new gas station had just one pile, but the charging station had 12. I test drove the new BMW i3 and the EQE both out of Chinese factories. Could not convince me because of range or acceleration, or self driving features. So I kept looking and also drove the Zeekr 001. The Zeekr 001 is way ahead. The self driving (mobileye most advanced system) is better, the space is better, the luxury feel is same, the battery has up to 140 kWh (new CATL battery) for up to 600 miles of range. The platform is 800V super fast charging. The performance is excellent like my Porsche Taycan 4S+. So I have ordered one to replace my MS90D junk!

So funny watching this. I worked in this studio at one point. I remember Bob very frustrated about Tesla when he realized the Model S was coming with a 300 plus range and him saying, " With all our engineers, how is it a small company can do what we can't". Pretty much an exact quote. That being said, there was nobody better then Bob. Amazing, amazing guy. By the way Tesla stock at that time was about $4 a share.
Tesla will eventually return from the stratosphere to the $10/share where it belongs. The hype machine made tons of millionaires. Hopefully they'll abandon ship when common sense starts creeping back into the valuations
@@yourlogicalnightmare1014 Safest cars on the planet. Less likely to get into an accident and when it does the most likely to survive in a crash. Seriously under valued right now.
@@victorluke5816 Ford has been around over 100 years, sold more than 350 million cars, and is valued at a fraction of Tesla. What you're seeing is obscene levels of hype. FSD may never happen, in which case Tesla will owe a fortune in refunds. The Cybertruck is not producible without the 4680 batteries, which were only fantasy when Elon announced them, and which still do not have the chemistry worked out to match the performance claims at announcement, nor do the 4680 have volume production worked out.
@@yourlogicalnightmare1014 Ford is losing $10K dollars per Mach E while Tesla is making $10K per Model Y after 6 discounts on the price this year. The Model Y is cheaper than the Mach E. Its also faster, longer ranged, and safer than the Mach E. The reason that the valuation is obscene is that its advantage over Ford is obscene. FSD as it exists is the safest driver on the road as is. 8x more likely to make it to your destination than without it. Level 4 looks like its achievable late this year or early in 2024. FSD today is better than it was yesterday. Its going to be better next week as well. Cybertruck is due September 2023. Expected production is 50K this year. 2 electric Hummers were made last year which was their first year of production.
Thanks for the re-watch. I bought a 2011 Volt new in March 2011 and over 12 years later it’s still my daily driver. It’s a little worn around the edges but still on its original high voltage battery and I drive it almost every day. Technically the volt did go on sale in 2010 the last week of December.
The Volt is still the best idea for where we are right now. Of course, it's discontinued. How many miles will the Volt drive on battery only? Like 30 miles? That's still enough for most people. Can still go to a funeral 500 miles away.
@@TheBandit7613 Yep, I have a Gen 2 and its EV range is enough for >90 % of my driving, just the rare road trip is where I use the range extender. Never had a problem with it and even with all the cycles on the battery it still has >95% capacity at almost 150k km on the battery (less than 10 k km on the range extender). The Volt was proof that most folks who could charge at home or work didn't need to hoard batteries the way pure BEVs do, especially since how resources are so limited and wait lists are so long right now. The only real downside was that the vehicle was small when most folks want SUVs and CUVs these days, and then the early adopters wanted to make a political statement with buying pure BEVs.
Notice they said nothing about Teslas self driving capabilities! They’re doing it the best right now despite hiccups. They been doing it for the longest time so far! Tesla is so far ahead of everybody it’s laughable to see these companies playing catch-up! The hate is real!!!!
Ya I have a 2023 model x with FSD.....people's perception of teslas FSD is vastly misunderstood....partly due to lack of experience with it and partly due to hate against Elon resulting in immense misinformation. My model x can drive me from San Diego to Glendale (150 mile drive) through SoCal rush hour traffic, open freeways, streets, small roads, highways, and residential streets....from doorstep to doorstep....without breaking a sweat. It's not perfect and I'm always watching and ready to step in because every once in a while a situation will arise that it needs my intervention but that is getting rarer and rarer with every update.
Also, another source of confusion is that most people, even Tesla owners, don't understand the difference between Autopilot and FSD. All teslas now come with autopilot and it can do a lot...so much so that many people think that is FSD...but then when they find it struggling on the streets, entering or exiting the freeway, parking lots etc they think Tesla FSD sucks. These are totally different things....if you don't know FOR SURE you have FSD, you don't have it. So that also drives a lot of misinformation
Parking assist, Accident prevention, warning you of cars in your blind spot, cruise control with automatic lane stay and speed control, it’s just so convenient to drive now with these features. Super helpful.
Stupid fanboy or paid by EM idiot? T is junk! I test drove the new BMW i3 and the EQE both out of Chinese factories. Could not convince me because of range or acceleration, or self driving features.

3:34 "People are increasingly asking for this" I just want to say I love and want this new technology, I can embrace it moving forward because I understand its usefulness in places like traffic jams when you just don't want to drive, but people who have driven a manual are sad to see current technology go. There's a profound sensation that happens when shifting gears through the corners of a scenic road you've never been on, and it's a good one. The more control I have over my vehicle, the less restrained I am when I've learned how to use its hand-operated components.
I worked all nighters near a hospital. Nurses would get off their all night shift and driving home fall asleep at the wheel in front of our plant and get seriously injured or killed. Accident prevention is so welcome these days.
Notice that they did not show the car driving on the freeway, only trying to merge onto the freeway, there is a reason for that. I saw a Waymo labeled car on 101 in San Rafael going north during commute time traveling in the slow lane going about 25 miles per hour, dangerously and illegally slow. The windows were tinted so I don't know if there was a human operator inside. I moved over 2 lanes away from the Waymo car for safety. Here in Marin, up in the hillside areas, the roads are really only wide enough in many cases for one car to travel, and there are no center lines. Often times one of the cars must back up and pull over, or if the driver knows the road and can see through the trees they can pull over in advance to let opposing traffic pass. In other words, there will never be any driver less cars on 95 percent of the streets in Marin, thank goodness for that.
You're naive for using the word "never." Self driving and artificial intelligence is literally just getting started. It will get exponentially better over a few short years.
I was talking about Marin County when I wrote never, I can guarantee that. It's because of the physical location and geography of the area, and because of the technological ability of remote control cars, they can't function at all here, and the public would never allow it because of those safety reasons. There is no possible way that these cars will ever be allowed to operate here for many, many reasons. but obviously those vehicles are being allowed to be tested in limited areas during limited hours and when it's not foggy or rainy in urban areas like San Francisco. Though assisted driving vehicles have been a failure and are extremely limited in their testing areas, maybe some day in the very distant future (not in our lifetimes) these DA (driver assisted) vehicles might be expanded, but then there is the cost of these taxis. Right now each taxi costs well over $1 million, what corporations think that they can make a profit off of a one million+ dollar taxi ?. I read an article in the S.F. Gate that said General Motors lost $5.5 BILLION in the last 5 years on their failed Cruise experiment. It's not really a viable financial investment at all. Investors can't tolerate massive losses forever.@@Anonymous-pm7jf
Right from the start it drove onto the double yellow line! So, at 700 feet, will it still be driving me toward a forest fire or category 4 tornado as I rest my eyes?

I read that some Cadillac CTS models have had V2V for a few years now, it uses Wi-Fi. V2V is mainly for collision avoidance, the little Wi-Fi transmitters are usually only about 0.021 mw, only transmit maybe 50 feet at the most.@@glennvastine4118
This is now so out of date, but it's interesting to see how the expert commentary from back then was so incredulous about technology. And Bob Lutz was so wrong about everything, out was hilarious.
Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded TESLA and they built the first Roadster before Elon Musk invested into the company and later ousted the founders and took over as CEO.
Known as renewable hydrogen, green hydrogen production allows us to obtain a clean fuel from renewable energies. It is already seen as the great hope for substituting fossil fuels in sectors that are difficult to decarbonize. Both governments and the private sector recognize that hydrogen is an essential pillar of a fully sustainable energy transition. 21:43 [Active Sustainability]
On one hand I am impressed that self-driving cars are making the headlines at 60 Minutes. On the other, I am hugely disappointed that the leader in self-driving technology is clearly Tesla --- as measured by number of autonamous vehicles on the road, number of autonamous miles driven, types of roads available, variety of driving conditions available for autonomy, etc. Why was the Tesla brand snubbed down to a 3-second mention?
You mean the junk that self crashes into high way bridge pillars? I test drove the new BMW i3 and the EQE both out of Chinese factories.

It's such a shame that autonomous vehicle training only takes place in well-regulated cities. But imagine if companies dared to train these cars in unpredictable, chaotic cities like Addis Ababa and Nairobi, where traffic control infrastructure is limited and traffic lights are few. I believe this could provide more opportunities for teaching driving AI and help solve the many of the issues that prevent full autonomy. Let's embrace the challenge and see what these cars can do!
@Scott Natte tf are u talking about lmfao. Tesla is the only company with true self driving. China doesnt even have it. Infact BYD just admitted it was too difficult a problem.
i wonder how these will fare in countries like india, vietnam, thailand and philippines where traffic is chaotic and very unpredictable. roads are not complete with potholes and missing traffic lines and sinage not to mention missing traffic lights as well and also missing traffic enforcers. you know what i'm talking about.
The number of lives it saves would not even compare to the numbers of serious injuries it would prevent. Years ago a co-worker was hit head on by a driver that had lost consciousness and the co-worker's leg was crushed along with other injuries. If only self driving cars were available it could have been prevented. I always thought though that self driving cars should have a dedicated lane on main roads to avoid the crazy drivers that are out in force.
This all wonderful and exciting and inevitably this is where we heading but no one talks about the batteries that will eventually give out their disposal and effects on the environment. I believe the way to go is not electricity but hydrogen.
Batteries can be recycled, and unlike hydrogen, lithium battery infrastructure already exists. There are 100 plus "giga" battery factories in China churning them out right now. Who on the other hand is producing hydrogen at a scale large enough to fuel all the cars in the world, along with a distribution network for said hydrogen? Batteries don't require such a distribution network. just install them into cars and upgrade your local electric grids as needed. While Japan Inc is still stubbornly working on hydrogen, the Chinese will likely start mass producing sodium ion batteries within the year, which will be the actual game changer, since they require no lithium, no rare earth metals, have no fire hazard, and are so cheap they can be fitted en masse into cheaper cars as well as for massive grid storage installations.
If there's a collision, it's already past the point of being able to do anything about it. Now if you are asking what it would do if there was a car careening toward it, then whatever automonous system was driving should attempt to avoid it, duh. The autonomous vehicles in this video from 2015 would probably just keep driving.
the freeway merge at the 3 minute mark, when he says that the car will not exceed the speed limit even to merge, is a great example of how major accidents will happen. being squashed up in the merge line while the driverless refuses to hit it to merge like a human caused the driver behind to merge before the driverless did. not cool.
39:07 China will be making 5 million EVs a year by 2025....well the total EV sales in China in "2022" was 6 million. This sure aged like the milk i forgot to put in the fridge last night.
@@michaeljiang960 it was 80% BEV so that is still close to the 5million mark ..i quoted only sales add exports (china is the biggest exporter of EVs) that takes the 2022 fugures well past 5 million, that he was expecting for 2025.
A self driving car sounds fantastic. But, what about navigating around city construction zones? How often do self driving cars have accidents in San Francisco where there are a bunch of autonomous driving cars? It is still a work in progress.
It's already the best safety feature on the planet as far as miles driven without incident goes, both in city miles and highway miles. Not worth $15K IMO, but certainly worth trying at $200 for a month.
😂 Watching this video and listening to the statements made by these “car” people and seeing where we are today is hilarious! The people that are eating crow right now! I’d love to see 60 minutes do a follow up with these guys and play back their comments from these videos and let us see their reactions! 😂 The comments about Tesla are particularly hilarious! “ yeah, but they have no experience in the car business …” speaking of Tesla 😂
The X-factor that is holding back the progression of fully-autonomous, AI-driven mass and private transportation, is the fact that autonomous vehicles are driven on the same streets as human driven cars and errant pedestrians, bicyclists, animals and humans on skateboards, hoverboards, one wheels, segways, etc. My government, The Royal Hawaiian Monarchy government of The Hawaiian Kingdom, will implement a program, within 5 years of our reconvening our lawful governance of The Hawaiian Kingdom by 2025 in which we will prohibit ALL internal combustion engines, making every class of EVs operating on integrated digital smart-roads mandatory. We'll also probibit private ownership of ALL vehicles in every class and entirely restrict pedestrians, animals and humans on non-vehicle transportation from the roadway. The goal is to maximize efficient transportation and minimize and eventually eliminate all risk of accidents. We will fully implement this revolutionary, innovative program fully throughout our entire Kingdom by 2030 leading the world in the full implementation of autonomous, AI-driven vehicles driven on integrated smart-roads. Ponokeali'i Kuhina Nui or Prime Minister The Royal Hawaiian Monarchy government of The Hawaiian Kingdom
EV race has yet to be decided. Tesla is clearly in the lead worldwide. BYD may challenge Tesla at the low end in China. Other EV startups, including Nio, will probably go bankrupt. Traditional car companies that failed to make the EV transition will also go bankrupt.
BYD seems intent on challenging everybody at every price level. What are two of the most talked about vehicle launches from the recent massive Shanghai auto show? The BYD Seagull on one end, which costs just over $10k USD, and on the other end, BYD's Yangwang U8, which is set to cost well over $150k USD. The breadth and scale BYD has built in the past 5 years is incredible.
It brings me no joy to say this but unfortunately I wouldn’t hold your breath. We’re still many many years away from reaching even a fully baked SAE J3016 level 4 autonomy suite that’s ready for any kind of widespread mass deployment in something like a robo-taxi implementation, let alone in the form of a commercially available product able to be purchased by/leased to the general public. As someone who has closely followed the progress, successes, and challenges of this tech throughout it’s development over the past 8 or so years, I would be surprised to see a certified level 4 system come to fruition within the next ~10 years. While the technological capabilities of these systems have advanced in leaps and bounds especially over the past decade, notice that the finish line has seemingly been *just around the corner* for many years now. I can’t recall who said it to locate their exact quote, but it was said in an interview I heard not too long ago by an engineer at Waymo, or Argo, or Cruise… one of the big players in this field. Anyway it was a variant of an aphorism in the software engineering world called the ninety-ninety rule and the quote went something like “getting autonomous driving tech 90% of the way there only took 1% of the time, but that final 10% is going to take 99% of the time.” The insane momentum of innovation and breakthroughs has all but ground to a halt with progress essentially reduced to a snail’s pace. Then there’s the recent realization/admission proving to be a massive hindrance to the continued allocation of investment and resources needed for further development - an arduously long and unclear path to profitability - which is precisely the reason cited when Ford and VW recently pulled the plug on their joint-venture, Argo AI, after a whopping estimated $7 *BILLION* total invested into the development of level 4 autonomy. I mean, when the #1 and #5 largest automakers in the world join forces contributing seriously substantial engineering and financial resources to kind of ‘iron out the remaining wrinkles’ in a technology that’s been under heavy R&D in it’s current generation for approaching 20 years, yet the decision is made to call it quits and close shop… what does that tell you about the reality of it reaching maturity anytime soon? Unfortunately for anyone who points to Tesla’s “Full-Self Driving” as a marker of the supposed current advanced status is sadly woefully inebriated on ‘Elon punch’ or simply utterly uninformed, ill-informed, and ignorant regarding the technology on a technical level. Tesla FSD is such a joke and even naming it that would be comical if it didn’t actually put so much of the public in very real danger. My apologies, this reply was initially intended to be just a handful of sentences long to help you understand where we’re at with all this so you can temper your expectations, but was prompted to elaborate a bit more after reading some of the other eye roll-inducing comments…
the arrogance of the host interviewing Nio CEO was astounding. I felt like she was just jealous that a chinese company and ceo was making great strides.. SAD
She's a journalist , she's supposed to ask tough questions. The same was done with the American GM CEO, he was pressed about past comments he made. Why would it be easy for NIO
Disruption nearly always comes from the bottom. China will one day be the top nation technology. China will have the the largest economy in the world. It's not a matter of debate. It is only a matter of time.
So far the ones that look like they stole Tesla tech are going out of business and Tesla just replaced the old tech with superior tech. They managed to use the Tesla Tech but are losing $15K dollars per car.
It will be comical if Elon gets his way and Trump or DeSantis become president, then overturn Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, causing Tesla huge financial losses.
Tesla does not need the subsidies while others do. Infact, Elon has publicly said so. Also, where did you get the idea who Elon prefers for the presidency? How come you pontificate which party Elon belongs to and not even mention how Tesla/Elon has been ignored when every other auto and AI Exec's gets invited to the Whitehouse on issues Tesla/Elon has been the leader/expert in subject matter for discussion? Btw, Elon is very comfortable to appear with both Tucker Carlson & Bill Maher in the same week.
Yes we are forced to use it in many ways that we don't know it is not going anywhere global systems of control that will feed the hearts of the younger generation anything that is run by computers is out of your control and privacy is eliminated for every positive there is 10 -negative understand that technology isn't only going to be used for your convenience but for your ultimate demise taking all your humanistic environment total away.🧐❓
What wasn't covered in the GM story is they actually had a mass- produced electric car before Tesla was even founded. It was called the EV-1 and existed from 1996-1999. Lutz should've been asked why the EV1 was discontinued and how far ahead GM would've been if they hadn't discontinued it.
The autonomous self driving car will be safer than any human driver is the goal and a goal that will happen one day. Not soon but eventually. If you see how we drive nowadays and the multiple errors people make when driving, you can understand why this goal will help us more than hurt us in the future.
Working together you'd have to add in the insurance companies because they like to tell you about every flaw in the automated system to maintain business..
The Ordinary - i heard that also - but if they were making so many batteries where are they going? I had heard the new BYD Seagul was going to use them; but so far - not true. Maybe at some point they will incorporate Sodium but none are being produced with sodium so far.
Unbelievable that the autonomous piece didn't feature the far and away leader of autonomy and AI Tesla. Makes me question the networks relationships with advertisers. 👎
Notice they cut the video when the Mercedes was merging on the to freeway, as the silver BMW jumped out and went around the black Benz and beat it to the spot that the self driving was about to takes. The Mercedes was signalling to merge left and then started to move left, appears to balk at going left and slightly brake then the scene cuts. I got a feeling that he Benz got frazzled and the engineer had to take control which wouldn't be sexy. All i know is the big yellow truck was tight behind the newly inserted silver BMW and so I'm not sure where the heck the Mercedes could fit so the choices look to be 1) cram in, 2) slow to near stop and wait to go behind the yellow rig, 3) accelerate much more than they just said it wouldn't do over teh speed limit, 4) or go straight and get run off the road as the entrance ramp evaporates. That challenge got cut out though. Interesting. It's teh tough situations that define sucess. I can close my eyes and take my hands off the wheel on a straight section of road and a good alignment will stay in the lay for many hundres of feet like the MErcedes or other pseudo self driving cars. That doen't make my blind faith and toe settings a self driving system.

@@yourlogicalnightmare1014 Safest cars on the planet. Less likely to get into an accident and when it does the most likely to survive in a crash. Seriously under valued right now.
@@victorluke5816
Ford has been around over 100 years, sold more than 350 million cars, and is valued at a fraction of Tesla. What you're seeing is obscene levels of hype.
FSD may never happen, in which case Tesla will owe a fortune in refunds.
The Cybertruck is not producible without the 4680 batteries, which were only fantasy when Elon announced them, and which still do not have the chemistry worked out to match the performance claims at announcement, nor do the 4680 have volume production worked out.
@@yourlogicalnightmare1014 Ford is losing $10K dollars per Mach E while Tesla is making $10K per Model Y after 6 discounts on the price this year. The Model Y is cheaper than the Mach E. Its also faster, longer ranged, and safer than the Mach E. The reason that the valuation is obscene is that its advantage over Ford is obscene.
FSD as it exists is the safest driver on the road as is. 8x more likely to make it to your destination than without it. Level 4 looks like its achievable late this year or early in 2024. FSD today is better than it was yesterday. Its going to be better next week as well.
Cybertruck is due September 2023. Expected production is 50K this year. 2 electric Hummers were made last year which was their first year of production.
Thanks for the re-watch. I bought a 2011 Volt new in March 2011 and over 12 years later it’s still my daily driver. It’s a little worn around the edges but still on its original high voltage battery and I drive it almost every day. Technically the volt did go on sale in 2010 the last week of December.
The Volt is still the best idea for where we are right now.
Of course, it's discontinued.
How many miles will the Volt drive on battery only? Like 30 miles?
That's still enough for most people.
Can still go to a funeral 500 miles away.
the VOLT is a crappy ICE car that has a Vibrator size battery .
TESLA is a REAL car , and BETTER than every ICE/Hybrid on the road.
@@TheBandit7613 Yep, I have a Gen 2 and its EV range is enough for >90 % of my driving, just the rare road trip is where I use the range extender. Never had a problem with it and even with all the cycles on the battery it still has >95% capacity at almost 150k km on the battery (less than 10 k km on the range extender). The Volt was proof that most folks who could charge at home or work didn't need to hoard batteries the way pure BEVs do, especially since how resources are so limited and wait lists are so long right now. The only real downside was that the vehicle was small when most folks want SUVs and CUVs these days, and then the early adopters wanted to make a political statement with buying pure BEVs.
@@anydaynow01 I think I'm going to look for a Volt. What years are the best?
Any advice?
Volt has been taken off the market. It caught on fire
Notice they said nothing about Teslas self driving capabilities! They’re doing it the best right now despite hiccups. They been doing it for the longest time so far! Tesla is so far ahead of everybody it’s laughable to see these companies playing catch-up! The hate is real!!!!
... The automatic driving in China has long been realized
Except for the part where they talked about Tesla making highway driving available.
@@michelangelobuonarroti916
Yes, Tesla got a 5 second mention, while Mercedes got a 10 minute dedication. Sounds reasonable.
Ya I have a 2023 model x with FSD.....people's perception of teslas FSD is vastly misunderstood....partly due to lack of experience with it and partly due to hate against Elon resulting in immense misinformation. My model x can drive me from San Diego to Glendale (150 mile drive) through SoCal rush hour traffic, open freeways, streets, small roads, highways, and residential streets....from doorstep to doorstep....without breaking a sweat. It's not perfect and I'm always watching and ready to step in because every once in a while a situation will arise that it needs my intervention but that is getting rarer and rarer with every update.
Also, another source of confusion is that most people, even Tesla owners, don't understand the difference between Autopilot and FSD. All teslas now come with autopilot and it can do a lot...so much so that many people think that is FSD...but then when they find it struggling on the streets, entering or exiting the freeway, parking lots etc they think Tesla FSD sucks. These are totally different things....if you don't know FOR SURE you have FSD, you don't have it. So that also drives a lot of misinformation
Parking assist, Accident prevention, warning you of cars in your blind spot, cruise control with automatic lane stay and speed control, it’s just so convenient to drive now with these features. Super helpful.
Never driven a car with any of those, hope they all still work after 20 years because thats about how old cars have to be before i can afford one lol
People will simply use the feature that allows you to turn off these features. Or simply wont turn them on at all.
What about oversized vehicles and motorbikes?
lmao i turn all of those off. i can do all that and faster without need of technology.
Of all those you mention, cruise control is fine for me.
I quite often drive at 80mph without any assistance, in a knackered old vauxhall nova, its great fun
DANG, Lutz called it like a pro. GM just kept dropping the ball.
Good interview. Looking back this is a slice of history.
🏁Tesla model Y will be the most sold carmodel on planet Earth in year 2023, and year 2024 🏁
Stupid fanboy or paid by EM idiot? T is junk! I test drove the new BMW i3 and the EQE both out of Chinese factories. Could not convince me because of range or acceleration, or self driving features.
So I kept looking and also drove the Zeekr 001. The Zeekr 001 is way ahead. The self driving (mobileye most advanced system) is better, the space is better, the luxury feel is same, the battery has up to 140 kWh (new CATL battery) for up to 600 miles of range. The platform is 800V super fast charging. The performance is excellent like my Porsche Taycan 4S+. So I have ordered one to replace my MS90D junk!
You'd better read the recent news, that's all dramatically changed now.
please search aito M7 or aito M9
3:34 "People are increasingly asking for this" I just want to say I love and want this new technology, I can embrace it moving forward because I understand its usefulness in places like traffic jams when you just don't want to drive, but people who have driven a manual are sad to see current technology go. There's a profound sensation that happens when shifting gears through the corners of a scenic road you've never been on, and it's a good one. The more control I have over my vehicle, the less restrained I am when I've learned how to use its hand-operated components.
Can you please put the date on the thumbnail and the title for these old episodes?

@@partydelcarmen yes, that is correct. The segment is timestamped. Good observation.
Excellent journalism! Congrats.
I worked all nighters near a hospital. Nurses would get off their all night shift and driving home fall asleep at the wheel in front of our plant and get seriously injured or killed. Accident prevention is so welcome these days.
I enjoyed this self-embarrassing parody while my Tesla Model Y with FSD drove me home.
I hope this car will be around when I am still alive . I want one !!!

Just took our first ride in the Waymo Jaguars of Phoenix, no one in the driver's seat. Felt comfortable after 5 minutes. Really astounding
WAYMO is crappy. see - CalasEV - Tesla vs Waymo.
@@markplott4820 will check it out! Gotta say though, I love both systems. Different, but both good :)
Notice that they did not show the car driving on the freeway, only trying to merge onto the freeway, there is a reason for that.
I saw a Waymo labeled car on 101 in San Rafael going north during commute time traveling in the slow lane going about 25 miles per hour, dangerously and illegally slow. The windows were tinted so I don't know if there was a human operator inside. I moved over 2 lanes away from the Waymo car for safety. Here in Marin, up in the hillside areas, the roads are really only wide enough in many cases for one car to travel, and there are no center lines. Often times one of the cars must back up and pull over, or if the driver knows the road and can see through the trees they can pull over in advance to let opposing traffic pass. In other words, there will never be any driver less cars on 95 percent of the streets in Marin, thank goodness for that.
You're naive for using the word "never."
Self driving and artificial intelligence is literally just getting started. It will get exponentially better over a few short years.
I was talking about Marin County when I wrote never, I can guarantee that. It's because of the physical location and geography of the area, and because of the technological ability of remote control cars, they can't function at all here, and the public would never allow it because of those safety reasons. There is no possible way that these cars will ever be allowed to operate here for many, many reasons. but obviously those vehicles are being allowed to be tested in limited areas during limited hours and when it's not foggy or rainy in urban areas like San Francisco. Though assisted driving vehicles have been a failure and are extremely limited in their testing areas, maybe some day in the very distant future (not in our lifetimes) these DA (driver assisted) vehicles might be expanded, but then there is the cost of these taxis. Right now each taxi costs well over $1 million, what corporations think that they can make a profit off of a one million+ dollar taxi ?. I read an article in the S.F. Gate that said General Motors lost $5.5 BILLION in the last 5 years on their failed Cruise experiment. It's not really a viable financial investment at all. Investors can't tolerate massive losses forever.@@Anonymous-pm7jf
All these sensors will be costly to maintain. I wonder what will happen when these cars go on the secondhand market.
The future junkyards will be different places where they collect the electronics and trash the plastic and tin.

Is this an old episode??
This is a repeat from the 2015 airing. See video description.
Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded TESLA and they built the first Roadster before Elon Musk invested into the company and later ousted the founders and took over as CEO.

Interesting comparison between what they knew then versus what we know now.

On one hand I am impressed that self-driving cars are making the headlines at 60 Minutes. On the other, I am hugely disappointed that the leader in self-driving technology is clearly Tesla --- as measured by number of autonamous vehicles on the road, number of autonamous miles driven, types of roads available, variety of driving conditions available for autonomy, etc.
Why was the Tesla brand snubbed down to a 3-second mention?
Read the description. This video was originally aired in 2015.

Shame Sergio died in 2018. Guy was an amazing businessman.
What impact on insurance companies?
It's such a shame that autonomous vehicle training only takes place in well-regulated cities. But imagine if companies dared to train these cars in unpredictable, chaotic cities like Addis Ababa and Nairobi, where traffic control infrastructure is limited and traffic lights are few. I believe this could provide more opportunities for teaching driving AI and help solve the many of the issues that prevent full autonomy. Let's embrace the challenge and see what these cars can do!
Great perspective! Tesla FSD may not be full Self-Driving/ autonomous yet but it definitely makes me a safer and better driver.
False! My Tesla self drives all over the US highways and city streets.
My two Teslas both drive extremely well and learning fast!
No one driving one of these cars is driving down a dirt road in zimbabwe dude. it's a waste of time and resources.
@Scott Natte tf are u talking about lmfao. Tesla is the only company with true self driving. China doesnt even have it. Infact BYD just admitted it was too difficult a problem.
No mention of Tesla?
i wonder how these will fare in countries like india, vietnam, thailand and philippines where traffic is chaotic and very unpredictable. roads are not complete with potholes and missing traffic lines and sinage not to mention missing traffic lights as well and also missing traffic enforcers. you know what i'm talking about.
They won't
This episode is from 2015. Remember that when you are watching/commenting.
The number of lives it saves would not even compare to the numbers of serious injuries it would prevent. Years ago a co-worker was hit head on by a driver that had lost consciousness and the co-worker's leg was crushed along with other injuries. If only self driving cars were available it could have been prevented. I always thought though that self driving cars should have a dedicated lane on main roads to avoid the crazy drivers that are out in force.
Those taxis need a center line to function, 'round here we don't have center lines in them thair hills.
Can I upgrade my s550 with this? I have the same year
Mercedes has since given up on autonomous driving.

This all wonderful and exciting and inevitably this is where we heading but no one talks about the batteries that will eventually give out their disposal and effects on the environment. I believe the way to go is not electricity but hydrogen.
Batteries can be recycled, and unlike hydrogen, lithium battery infrastructure already exists. There are 100 plus "giga" battery factories in China churning them out right now. Who on the other hand is producing hydrogen at a scale large enough to fuel all the cars in the world, along with a distribution network for said hydrogen? Batteries don't require such a distribution network. just install them into cars and upgrade your local electric grids as needed. While Japan Inc is still stubbornly working on hydrogen, the Chinese will likely start mass producing sodium ion batteries within the year, which will be the actual game changer, since they require no lithium, no rare earth metals, have no fire hazard, and are so cheap they can be fitted en masse into cheaper cars as well as for massive grid storage installations.

Great now we'll have people who cannot think or drive for themselves in any situation. Sad and scary

I would love to know what it would do in a head-on collision because of a DUI driver.😮
If there's a collision, it's already past the point of being able to do anything about it. Now if you are asking what it would do if there was a car careening toward it, then whatever automonous system was driving should attempt to avoid it, duh. The autonomous vehicles in this video from 2015 would probably just keep driving.
Outdated information, woulda been nice to see 60 Minutes actually do a where are we now and whats in the pipeline (so to speak) for the next 5yrs
Tesla was not even mentioned. And they are the leader in self driving electric autos.
Will talon metals in Minnesota become a mine? Tamarack Minnesota has nickel there.. many jobs if it does.
the freeway merge at the 3 minute mark, when he says that the car will not exceed the speed limit even to merge, is a great example of how major accidents will happen. being squashed up in the merge line while the driverless refuses to hit it to merge like a human caused the driver behind to merge before the driverless did. not cool.

@@michaeljiang960 it was 80% BEV so that is still close to the 5million mark ..i quoted only sales add exports (china is the biggest exporter of EVs) that takes the 2022 fugures well past 5 million, that he was expecting for 2025.
A self driving car sounds fantastic. But, what about navigating around city construction zones? How often do self driving cars have accidents in San Francisco where there are a bunch of autonomous driving cars? It is still a work in progress.

Safer cars means less insurance so you can forget about it because they are too greedy.
The X-factor that is holding back the progression of fully-autonomous, AI-driven mass and private transportation, is the fact that autonomous vehicles are driven on the same streets as human driven cars and errant pedestrians, bicyclists, animals and humans on skateboards, hoverboards, one wheels, segways, etc.
My government, The Royal Hawaiian Monarchy government of The Hawaiian Kingdom, will implement a program, within 5 years of our reconvening our lawful governance of The Hawaiian Kingdom by 2025 in which we will prohibit ALL internal combustion engines, making every class of EVs operating on integrated digital smart-roads mandatory.
We'll also probibit private ownership of ALL vehicles in every class and entirely restrict pedestrians, animals and humans on non-vehicle transportation from the roadway.
The goal is to maximize efficient transportation and minimize and eventually eliminate all risk of accidents.
We will fully implement this revolutionary, innovative program fully throughout our entire Kingdom by 2030 leading the world in the full implementation of autonomous, AI-driven vehicles driven on integrated smart-roads.

EV race has yet to be decided. Tesla is clearly in the lead worldwide. BYD may challenge Tesla at the low end in China. Other EV startups, including Nio, will probably go bankrupt. Traditional car companies that failed to make the EV transition will also go bankrupt.
BYD seems intent on challenging everybody at every price level. What are two of the most talked about vehicle launches from the recent massive Shanghai auto show? The BYD Seagull on one end, which costs just over $10k USD, and on the other end, BYD's Yangwang U8, which is set to cost well over $150k USD. The breadth and scale BYD has built in the past 5 years is incredible.
I have been careless since 2011, and I am a consumer viewer who wants to learn about electric cars
About time. I want to hit speeds at 175 mph on the highway while drinking a beer on my way to the grand canyon.
I am hoping this happens a lot sooner then projected. I have lost half of my eyesight in the last 5 years.
I never thought about that. Self driving would be wonderful for you and others with challenges.
It brings me no joy to say this but unfortunately I wouldn’t hold your breath. We’re still many many years away from reaching even a fully baked SAE J3016 level 4 autonomy suite that’s ready for any kind of widespread mass deployment in something like a robo-taxi implementation, let alone in the form of a commercially available product able to be purchased by/leased to the general public. As someone who has closely followed the progress, successes, and challenges of this tech throughout it’s development over the past 8 or so years, I would be surprised to see a certified level 4 system come to fruition within the next ~10 years.
While the technological capabilities of these systems have advanced in leaps and bounds especially over the past decade, notice that the finish line has seemingly been *just around the corner* for many years now. I can’t recall who said it to locate their exact quote, but it was said in an interview I heard not too long ago by an engineer at Waymo, or Argo, or Cruise… one of the big players in this field. Anyway it was a variant of an aphorism in the software engineering world called the ninety-ninety rule and the quote went something like “getting autonomous driving tech 90% of the way there only took 1% of the time, but that final 10% is going to take 99% of the time.”
The insane momentum of innovation and breakthroughs has all but ground to a halt with progress essentially reduced to a snail’s pace. Then there’s the recent realization/admission proving to be a massive hindrance to the continued allocation of investment and resources needed for further development - an arduously long and unclear path to profitability - which is precisely the reason cited when Ford and VW recently pulled the plug on their joint-venture, Argo AI, after a whopping estimated $7 *BILLION* total invested into the development of level 4 autonomy. I mean, when the #1 and #5 largest automakers in the world join forces contributing seriously substantial engineering and financial resources to kind of ‘iron out the remaining wrinkles’ in a technology that’s been under heavy R&D in it’s current generation for approaching 20 years, yet the decision is made to call it quits and close shop… what does that tell you about the reality of it reaching maturity anytime soon?
Unfortunately for anyone who points to Tesla’s “Full-Self Driving” as a marker of the supposed current advanced status is sadly woefully inebriated on ‘Elon punch’ or simply utterly uninformed, ill-informed, and ignorant regarding the technology on a technical level. Tesla FSD is such a joke and even naming it that would be comical if it didn’t actually put so much of the public in very real danger.
My apologies, this reply was initially intended to be just a handful of sentences long to help you understand where we’re at with all this so you can temper your expectations, but was prompted to elaborate a bit more after reading some of the other eye roll-inducing comments…
Absolutely hysterical to watch this now. Smug mismanagement by the bigwigs. A common reason companies die
the arrogance of the host interviewing Nio CEO was astounding. I felt like she was just jealous that a chinese company and ceo was making great strides.. SAD
She's a journalist , she's supposed to ask tough questions. The same was done with the American GM CEO, he was pressed about past comments he made. Why would it be easy for NIO
Disruption nearly always comes from the bottom. China will one day be the top nation technology. China will have the the largest economy in the world. It's not a matter of debate. It is only a matter of time.
Elon Musk should have known that China is more interested in his patents.
From what I've heard about and from the man, he is, perhaps, not quite as bright as he lets on.
So far the ones that look like they stole Tesla tech are going out of business and Tesla just replaced the old tech with superior tech. They managed to use the Tesla Tech but are losing $15K dollars per car.
Please test it with an illegal signal jammer inside the car.
Teslas is so far ahead the only hope for “competitors” is to license FSD from them.
Not true bud. The Chinese have cars at or above Tesla levels. Check out Zeekr, Nio, Hiphi, BYD

Love this! And how quaint to see a young, not Right Wing crazy Elon at the start of his Tesla venture.
It will be comical if Elon gets his way and Trump or DeSantis become president, then overturn Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, causing Tesla huge financial losses.
Tesla does not need the subsidies while others do. Infact, Elon has publicly said so. Also, where did you get the idea who Elon prefers for the presidency? How come you pontificate which party Elon belongs to and not even mention how Tesla/Elon has been ignored when every other auto and AI Exec's gets invited to the Whitehouse on issues Tesla/Elon has been the leader/expert in subject matter for discussion? Btw, Elon is very comfortable to appear with both Tucker Carlson & Bill Maher in the same week.

What wasn't covered in the GM story is they actually had a mass- produced electric car before Tesla was even founded. It was called the EV-1 and existed from 1996-1999. Lutz should've been asked why the EV1 was discontinued and how far ahead GM would've been if they hadn't discontinued it.
Actually they covered it in the story. @18:45

The autonomous self driving car will be safer than any human driver is the goal and a goal that will happen one day. Not soon but eventually. If you see how we drive nowadays and the multiple errors people make when driving, you can understand why this goal will help us more than hurt us in the future.
Everyone should be working together on this one…

2015 is the Stone Age for electric cars
Notice they cut the video when the Mercedes was merging on the to freeway, as the silver BMW jumped out and went around the black Benz and beat it to the spot that the self driving was about to takes. The Mercedes was signalling to merge left and then started to move left, appears to balk at going left and slightly brake then the scene cuts. I got a feeling that he Benz got frazzled and the engineer had to take control which wouldn't be sexy. All i know is the big yellow truck was tight behind the newly inserted silver BMW and so I'm not sure where the heck the Mercedes could fit so the choices look to be 1) cram in, 2) slow to near stop and wait to go behind the yellow rig, 3) accelerate much more than they just said it wouldn't do over teh speed limit, 4) or go straight and get run off the road as the entrance ramp evaporates. That challenge got cut out though. Interesting. It's teh tough situations that define sucess. I can close my eyes and take my hands off the wheel on a straight section of road and a good alignment will stay in the lay for many hundres of feet like the MErcedes or other pseudo self driving cars. That doen't make my blind faith and toe settings a self driving system.
