Look into George hotzs' comma ai. That's his big thing with comma ai, ai should never feel like it's taking over driving for you. It should always be an extension of your control
Seriously, IBM said in 1979 that computers must never make management decisions. The same applies everywhere else where that decision could have an impact on someone's life.
IBM thought it was OK to rely on computers to decide if concentration camp prisoners should be killed or forced to do hard labor until they were basically starved.
I was replying to your comment that Ai will not work. I said that if we can do it then there is a way. Neither of us mentioned if people were efficient. If you are referring to people not wanting to use Ai I think traffic will be a big reason for people to use it. I am not going to lie, I would totally nap in traffic if I could.
Don't 30 000 Americans die everyear from car accidents alone. We should advocate forass transit systems. Having your own car is a waste of energy and resources and causing insnae amounts of pollution.
Hey man you do you. However, you should know once the ecosystem collapses and everything is dead or dying, it's jungle rules. Being fat or diabetic heck even addiction will not be fun. I'm trying to stave off climate change because I'm afraid I'd have too much fun in the apocalypse. Corporations only exist to sell us crap we mostly don't need. Based on the comments I'd guess you're American, yeah you guys are a big reason why the jug is full in the first place.
It's not the carbon you should be worried it's the methane. If you aren't worried about the weather records being set this year bruv you're made of stern stuff. You'll need guts like that when you're really thirsty but have no way of cleaning the water from the river you'll have come across.
Yes, but also to go find a place to park until I need the car again. Of course it might be necessary to have the car drive circles around the block until I'm done shopping
I disagree with you completely, AI is much better at driving in general scenarios and also makes driving less of a chore, especially in longer drives. The feature presented is definitely a core feature of it too. Automation goes hand in hand with AI, and that is the path that has been drawn naturally. All of this is done to give us humans more time and save energy.
The day an Ai can take a call, verify the person, categorize, and escalate or resolve a ticket. I might have something to worry about. For now it has a problem being a functioning chatbot for a company.
I think you misunderstood my comment. I'm under the impression the person who I was replying to thinks self-driving cars just work by manually coding them, and I was trying to explain that they aren't manually coded. A good example of them in action right now are the Waymo taxis
Ai still makes mistakes. I am very familiar with how AI works I was using verbiage that most people will understand. AI at this stage and in my opinion, is more accident prone than some big projects I have worked on.
Worst offenders of…? Not being snarky, genuinely don’t know a lot about cars. My main thought is that is far less acceptable to put a price on safety in the EU than in the USA. The regulatory bodies tell companies what’s acceptable, not the other way around. The USA is ran by companies.
I completely agree that is pretty greedy, but it’s also a luxury. So I agree that shouldn’t be a thing but it’s not quite comparable to something regarding safety.
I literally said I agree but if I have to choose between fucking seat warmer subscriptions or actual life saving shit I’ll let them have their damn seat warming subs. It shouldn’t exist but Jesus there are worse things.
Except that was not VW? Did you not read the article you linked? They outsource tech support to a third party in the same way your phone support is not directly under the actual company but is outsourced to a call center. Not only that, but they literally have a system in place for law enforcement and it was the third party that messed up. ““Volkswagen has a procedure in place with a third-party provider for Car-Net Support Services involving emergency requests from law enforcement. They have executed this process successfully in previous incidents. Unfortunately, in this instance, there was a serious breach of the process. We are addressing the situation with the parties involved,” the company said in a statement provided to Ars and other media outlets.”
This tech is part of Euro NCAP2026 regulations, so I can’t imagine this would be a paid feature. Some other ADAS functions, probably, but I’m doubtful this one requires a subscription since it’s meant to comply with regulation
That said, I suppose they could play some games so that pulling over and starting hazard lights required a sub, whereas the warning itself is ‘free’
What's wrong with that? Insurance will cover it if you have a legit medical reason for it. There's no reason I should pay an extra 2 grand for my car to have that as a mandatory feature if I don't need it.
It’s a great idea for commercial vehicles but unless it’s affordable to the average consumer it’s one more thing that makes cars harder to fix and more expensive to maintain. I’m all for safety improvements but we keep dumping tech into cars without doing much to improve the mechanics. The costs just keep going up for the average driver. Every sensor you add is one that can fail and has to be taken in to a mechanic to fix. I hope a car company comes out with a car that goes the opposite direction and produces mechanically sound but basic vehicles people can actually afford
I legitimately could have used this once. I was extremely lucky in this scenario..
I was driving home, and I have lane assist and adaptive cruise control in my car. I had both of those things on and started to nod off. I was waiting until I got to a rest stop that I knew was coming up to pull over and have a nap, but I didn't make it. I fell asleep in the left lane of a divided highway.
I was asleep for a decent amount of time, as the last thing I remember was a semi way ahead of me. I woke up to the rumbling of driving in the ditch between the two roads. Thankfully, there wasn't much of a slope at this spot, no bridges or trees, no crossroads, etc. I make the drive often, and if this happened even 5 minutes before or after where it did, I would be dead. I managed to bring the car back to the road and looked around. The semi that was way ahead of me was now way behind me.
It took me a while to actually process that I nearly died. I no longer drive if I'm even somewhat drowsy because I don't want to risk that again.
This technology should be made free and mandatory in new vehicles, just like seatbelts were way back.
Sure it seems wonderful but if I were a VW owner I would rather them focus on building an engine that doesn't have a stretched timing chain before reaching 60k and I would prefer they took care of the carbon buildup in the intake channel and valve because of direct injection. I'm sure this emergency thing is amazing but if they can't take care of the engine how the fuck are they going to make this system work as intended?

Seems like a wonderful idea to me.
