Self-Driving Cars
Autonomous vehicles
“Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we should do.” — El0n Musk
The question that I have is if Ai is a component of self-driving cars, then are you guaranteed to have the first accident since AI is a learning algorithm?
A self-driving auto sometimes called an autonomous car or driverless car is a vehicle that uses a combination of sensors, cameras, radar, and artificial intelligence (AI) to travel between destinations without a human operator.
Currently, self-driving cars are not available commercially for purchase. If that comes as a shock to you, you’re not alone. When Consumer Reports asked about self-driving cars in a national survey in late 2022, only 37 percent correctly answered that fully self-driving cars are not yet available for purchase in the U.S. today.
This implies that there is some confusion about what today’s cars are capable of and whether today’s active driving assistance (ADA) systems that can automatically steer, brake, and accelerate are considered “self-driving.”
Even though most new cars can drive themselves in some cases, it may be many years before cars are able to drive themselves in every case.
The only way to experience an autonomous car ride is to live in one of the few specific areas where prototype self-driving taxis are in service,
Hailing a self-driving cab such as a Waymo taxi is done by using the company’s Uber-like smartphone app.
Only the following twenty-one states have passed legislation related to self-driving cars.: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Vermont — and Washington D.C.
