Google Car: It Drives Itself - ABC News

[Kingcobra123lp]

Its the idea from jarastick park

[toyotakidpr1]

Ok. It is not intended to replace the driver, but to help the driver, but what about for people with certain disabilities like people with vision impairment? I think that some big companies need to think beyond the needs for other people.

[ZaneIsSane]

This will definitely cut road rage!

This is way more safer than driving yourself.

Old people always drive slowly- this will help them. It will improve traffic, reduce stress u get whilst driving.

This should be made compulsory on all cars now.

Imagine what impact this ought to have on your car insurance?!!!

[MegaSonicdude10]

If a car with no driver breaks the law and gets pulled over, I would love to see what the cop does at seeing it empty. "How the f^%$k do I write a ticket or arrest this???????!!!!!!"

[AndreR241]

Hm, German accent? Those Germans again with their superior technology ... Haha!

[Scuzyman]

It doesn't replace the driver yet. But in a while I Robot

[MultiSferguson]

Yay i can finally pass my drivers test

[neilbrian77]

well commercial airplanes are already flying and landing them self. so this should not be too hard.

[omnivorous65]

Of course it will replace drivers. Logistic comparnies all over the world are already counting the days when to replace their human drivers with a computer. No human mistakes, no need to sleep, a single guy in command room controlling a fleet of vehicles, saving the gasoline to carry an 200lbs human around. The advantages are overwhelming. Anyone who has a job that involves driving should start looking elsewhere.

[cyclones3333]

Terrorists/hackers would have a hay-day with this. Imagine the possibilities, and not in a good way

[ascii7085]

NO PLANS TO BRING IT TO THE MARKET ANYTIME SOON!!!

WHAT!?!?!

Don't release it before it's ready, but make plans … or something, soon! please!

We needed these yesterday! This will change everything!

[MrOnThaRIZ3]

It would suck if it ran you off a cliff

[wchmarrero]

wow



[xoMrROFLox]

2:10 I actually thought it would just keep going ._. Google, don't take over the world

[aznerd999]

If the whole world got google cars, i could imagine fucking with all of them on the street and playing chicken :D

[somberlight]

it's all good until you meet the first idiot that thinks he's able to mend it himself.

[Asiats1]

Finally, the Perfect car for Asian drivers ;)

[Cohagentron]

@Asiats1 Funny thing is, Asian countries have lower deaths per capita on the road than the United States. Google it.

[Asiats1]

@Cohagentron Actually India and China have HIGHEST death rates on road than rest of the World. And they don't even have as many cars per capita compared to the West. the roads are lawless over there it's crazy lol

[killerdove123]

Get in. Type "S.E.X." press 'enter' .... then see where the fuck it takes you

[NikesL0L]

that guy sounds like the fish of a american dad

[kingryan3]

Too all:

Taxi drivers

Truck drivers

Delivery drivers

.....your fucked

[EV1Lpunkstudios]

@kingryan3 Their pay is fucked because all they have to do is monitor the car and unload the items in their car. Taxi drivers same, they just watch the passengers so they don't do anything to the car.

[Aisuhime86]

should this come to pass you think medical insurance will cover it(the technology added part not the car itself) for people they have ability to learn to drive but by law can't get a license because they may have seizures at the wheel.

[greenbayd]

"Self-driving cars; will we ever be comfortable with that?"

Let's turn it around:

Human-driven cars; will we ever be comfortable with that?

Humans should not handle such dangerous tools. I'm far more comfortable having super reactive computers handling the road.

[TRFriendly]

@greenbayd I agree with you...until car spy-ware comes out. :P

[Knight7578]

Start price I would imagine would be........ $250,000 good luck on reducing the price for ALL home owners to be able to afford this. Considering for an a mediocre desktop gaming computer is around $3,000.

[T2Techno]

now can u tell it too go some were let it drive with no one in it now thatll be a new way too transport cars

[ingienero915]

That's the perfect car for a WOMEN, LOL

[salakast]

@ingienero915 LOOOOOOOOOOOL

[JrBMFovahere239]

I love Technology !!

[randommii15]

holy crop

[muszztictac]

woah i can see the future.

[wakeupitshere]

oh skynet!

[AUSTiNKiNSER]

Prius. (:

[Milas19962002]

Cops can't hold you liable if you're not driving. Just sit in the passenger seat.

[supertrinko]

First they took our knowledge (Internet), now they take our transportation!

[levi799]

Now maybe we can let women drive and feel secure when letting our cars parked!

[thefreakface]

Google is an Internet company?

[gevelegian]

SKYNET is near!

[jkyet]

Makes driving more pleasurable by... not driving...

[theeugoogalizor]

I swear I thought of this, down to every single detail. It is kind of an obvious idea, we have GPSes that are accurate within feet now and cruise control already, combine the two (add a database for the speed limits of the roads) and put in a steering mechanism and a sensor to make it play nice with the rest of traffic.

The technology for this has been around since the mid 2000s at least! Good to see someone finally doing it. I can't wait until I don't have to drive anymore.

[flamecrovv]

@theeugoogalizor yeah but you gotta think about random objects like shopping carts or fallen trees, someone running a red light etc, it's more complicated than you think

[theeugoogalizor]

@flamecrovv Yeah that is the point of the sensors, obviously we could take over and do manually but do you have any idea how great it would be to get drunk and still be able to go places, or climb into a car with no windows and just watch a movie like you would on an airplane.

This technology could also make cars way more fuel efficient, because the biggest problem with that is braking etc... think about all the stuff that gets transported via big rig trucks in the U.S.

[MattP737]

@theeugoogalizor Do you know how expensive all of that is?

Not likely anytime in the near future.

And, it isn't as simple as that.

There is a TON more to it.

[testing24215]

its actually much safer for cars to drive themselves than let a bunch of drunken teenagers roam the streets

[four2x4]

@indierockpete FUnny though. Something like this that is actually interesting has a few thousand views, but stuff like Chaaaalee Bit Me! Has millions.

Chaaaaleeee that huerts!

[four2x4]

@indierockpete Okay!

[four2x4]

@indierockpete Ya, fake and gay. Just keep your head in the sand, and see where it gets you! This is not only a reality, it will eventually be integrated in to all cars, assuming cars are still the way we travel in the future..

[ccdusch]

I wouldn't trust that blonde chick to drive a car in the first place.

[AALEVK]

@Runescaperdud Tcs Ecs all of that fancy crap!!!

[tomasusan]

@indierockpete What?  lol

[TheMagicShiny]

and what if my car autopilot hit some1?

is google still liable? we will need new laws by then...

[imadubass]

It turns out you can DRINK and DRIVE!!!!

[stalkingcat123]

@imadubass number one reason it will never pass

[S0up3rD0up3r]

say goodbye to the public transportation industry, much of the medial and police industry, and a good portion of the prison industry. automation is here, and it's not going away. this is where our jobs are being outsourced to, not immigrants.

[pb0o6]

@S0up3rD0up3r yea, they said the same thing about telephones and computers. and the internet.

[sassygirl1610]

I'll laugh so hard when someone's trying to get to their wedding and their cars frazen and asking if they want to send aan error report! xD

[iamnotutuber]

What if it rains?

[GhetMayThangToMom]

Damn, Skynet ....

Look for John O' Connor quick.

Terminator's age is coming.

[JavyMetal66]

/watch?v=C3WqXp6QvW0

[undocumentedspot]

This is a great day for alcoholics, unless they arrest the car for DUIOTDD. (Driving under the influence of a douchy driver)

[SailorBarsoom]

It won't be long until the cars are better drivers than the humans. They're already better than some human drivers. Eventually, they will be better than even the best human drivers.

This will be a good thing. We may not even need stop signs at that point.

[Superflykid2008]

Cops Pulls Car Over

Cop: Car You Were Going Over The Speed Limit

Google Car: No, i wasn't

Cop: Car, I'm going to have to ask you to put your hands behind your....Wait, um....

[Milas19962002]

@Superflykid2008 LOL

[Runescaperdud]

I'd like to see how this thing does on the icy roads in winter in canada

[yndyglo]

Válgame el Cielo, ya nos alcanzo el futuro

[bravecat100]

If that car had hit her it wold have been a marketing nightmare.

[naitsabex]

@ManoloPrimevera this is fking awesome
