how a malfunction can be detected by the way ? another supervising computer with a more magical algorithm ? or... a midget maybe ?

@Dem0nz890, It already works. And it will for all types of roads and driving conditions.
Google's self-driving cars have ALREADY clocked over 200K miles driving themselves around cities and various other trafficked roads, driving among other cars. And can even deal with "crazy" unexpected events, and they're getting better at it all the time.
Never underestimate the power of computers. They will, very soon, be capable of any task a human can do, and do it better.
@smlifyrasor i would never trust it beside, what if you change your mind on the route you want to take or the place you want to go to? like i said, good for driving on the highway and that is it. plus i enjoy driving fast cars and buying this would be completely pointless, not to mention expensive
@Dem0nz890 You wouldn't trust something that can get you where your going, faster and safer? But you'll trust another human driver to transport you somewhere, as well as the hundreds of other human drivers you pass on the streets?
O_o.. Changing your destination would be as easy as asking the car.
And just watch, give it time, and it will get cheaper. Maybe someday people wont even own cars, they'll just "call" for a pickup from a self driving car, that can deliver itself to you.
@smlifyrasor no way man, coming from a car enthusiast it just sounds crazy to me, no doubt there are a few million people out there that should be shot before they get to turn the ignition on anything that goes faster than 1 mph but i would only like something like this for long distance driving, even then id probably want to sleep in the car but i could never trust my life like that to a machine, it just doesnt have true human reactions
@demonik200 I drive a 98 Nissan which I've had since late high school when I began driving. Not the best car, but it gets me where I need to go which is enough for me. Was never that into cars, but as an engineer stuff like this fascinates me.
On the contrary though, I love driving, but only when it's on errands or doing stuff I don't do regularly. Back when I commuted to work I got so bored I'd nearly fall asleep half the time. For that I'd have loved this car.
@UConnDeltaZ08 if the concept works you wouldn't get pulled over when the car was driving obviously since it follows all laws and speedlimits etc. Duh?! And for stuff like DUI you would obviously be responsible since the driver needs to be ready to take over at any time!

Wer schon einmal lange Strecken Autobahn gefahren ist, wird wissen wie ermüdend, schon das Steuern per Hand ist. Wenn man nur noch Zuschauer ist, wird es echt schwer munter zu bleiben.
I like that this research is underway. It does not take away from the driving experience but does provide driving assistance when needed. It could be argued that ABS and traction control also interfere with driving but I think they have been accepted as the norm. This is obviously a test bed and what trickles out to production should be helpful, less intrusive and more informative......I hope.
Some here are so gelous but the point is that how far the BMW has gone and how successful they are. Simply because they are number one leading company with great success year after year ahead of everyone.
"Today, we are only voluntarily moving towards its own destruction. We are becoming lazy, ignorant and useless, because the technology replaces us in all directions, and provides a variety of meaningless entertainment. Also, we are moving towards a society where fewer and fewer real freedom, compared to which even "1984" Orwell did not seem a nightmare and a dream. Government becoming more and more control over the population".
Ich könnte mir das gut für Menschen vorstellen die behindert sind, z.b. deren Beine oder Arme fehlen. So das Sie nur noch Gas geben und Bremsen müssen.
so what are you supposed to do in the car if your not driving it? stop wasting money on crap like this spend it on making a DRIVING machine and maybe you can pass the savings along
BMW's motto is Sheer Driving Pleasure/The Ultimate Driving Machine. Where's that motto now if a computer's going to drive the car for you? I don't want to an M3, 1 Series M, M5 or any other BMW being driven by a computer and spoiling the driving fun. Hire a chauffeur then if you want someone driving for you. Assistance systems are good, but not to the point that they'd drive the car for you. -___-
Right now I got my BMW 3er serviced due to an electronic yet expensive problem. So my question is... innovation is good, but you sure to build innovation over high quality? There is no point in having a complex self driving system when the car could refuse to start just for a sensor/software glitch. We already have computers that does that, please let the car to be just driving pleasure
Exactly. For a stupid electronic glitch i have to spend a lot because BMW changes the whole steering column. And it's a widespread problem but, once out of warranty we're on our own.
I think BMW is too focused of showcasing how they can go ahead of other makers instead of backing up widely aknowledged problems. To me this is not innovation, is going backwards.
@00oBladeo00 You are definitely correct. I'm currently a technician at a dealership, and we see this problem often. Its almost as if BMW is trying to make things as complicated as can be. The glove box on the E70 X5 is a prime example. It has opposing magnets, a dedicated bus line, and all sorts of other feats of engineering, but it could have been done a lot simpler, and would probably be more robust. They do drive really great however, and the driving experience is a privilege.
I know. I'm Italian and yes, we like to drive fast... and a bit mad, and here for now the only option for a sporty RWD saloon is BMW.
I love how the car handles and it's engine, even if it's a 2.0 Diesel. That's why i got one. I only say, here we have the "myth" of the German Car as ultimate quality, and these known yet ignored big flaws are really out of place with the BMW Badge; yet i guess "badge" sells more than quality nowadays.
I barely trust ppl driving their own cars, why the hell would I trust the car to do the work? Ppl are the ones to control cars, not the other way around. Oh, and everyone stop SOPA!
Don't know why so many people are against this. Have you not driven home from a long day at work? People fall asleep on the wheel. This can potentially help save lives on the road. Or what about all the drunk drivers, now they can have their own taxi. It's huge.
@hotsizzleakadafizz um ....if they fall asleep..number one its illegal ....and two the driver must be able to help the car....the car reacts to the road not other drivers
@292eur So if you love driving, then don't get it.
If, on the other hand, you are a terrible driver, or like 90% of people get bored as hell on the way to and from work along the same exact route every single day, this will keep you alive and/or from going insane.
I think it's a wonderful idea and I foresee every car in the developed world having these capabilities and more in a few decades.
@292eur Once these cars are good enough at driving, it should be ILLEGAL to drive manually. Most humans are not good enough or safe enough to drive.. Sure some think they are "pefect" at it, but most aren't..
Self driving cars WILL save lives, traffic accidents could be reduced to almost non-existent numbers. And jams will disapear! And that is nothing but a good thing. Screw your self-entitled feeling of "joy" from driving. Not at the cost of so many lives! It's not worth it AT ALL.
@Serrimo As opposed to the every-day constant threat of human error, which is a far more frequent and dangerous one, with human drivers.
If a computer car has an error, safeguards can simply bring the car to a stop, and alert other cars to watch out.
Also, manufacturers will have the added incentive of making these things as error-proof as possible, since THEY are the ones who will likely be sued in the event of accidents. They're likely to make it as rare an occurrence as possible.
@smlifyrasor Computers are made by man and humans make errors so computers can also make errors because they were created by beings which make errors.
@The4neesh, These cars WILL be capable of driving better/safer than any human. It doesn't even have to be "perfect", all it has to do is surpass human driving ability/safety, and the laws will change surprisingly rapidly. It's not my opinion, it's pretty much guarenteed. The public WILL demand such a change. Because the most dangerous things on the road will be human drivers.
If you want to start an argument, don't start nitpicking tiny spelling errors. Can't you do better? ;P
@The4neesh Don't be silly, who would need automated bicycles, that totally misses the point.
And he's not being a fascist, he's being a futurist. Nothing he's said is that far fetched at all. Although there will probably be plenty of resistance to making manual driving illegal, societies change, give it a generation. Someday our kids will think it absurd that we risked our lives on the roads each day.
In a decade, these will be high-end option features, a decade or 2 after, common.
@smlifyrasor While you do have some good points I would feel really sad if driving manually was illegal (I love driving). I would preffer if the computer didn't drive all the time, but took control if things got out off hands. I do see your points though, perhaps stricter driving tests should be introduced? I dunno.
@smlifyrasor You would make driving illegal even though the majority of cars will still be manually driven? The fact is that we are very close to self-driving cars, BMW and Google have proved that. It would be impossible to ban all the old cars, people just don't have the money to upgrade. This technology won't be cheap.
@uudo No, of course not. That would be impossible.
What I'm saying is, once these cars have been around long enough, and all new cars come with these features standard.. Which WILL happen, it wont be expensive forever, technology gets cheaper after time.. THEN the laws will start to change.
Most peoples' cars break down after 20 years max, because people don't maintain them properly. Eventually only obsessive care keeps them going.
Also, kits will be made, to install into older cars.
@smlifyrasor I agree with you to a certain extent, but the concept you have proposed will not only destroy the automotive enthusiast and part of the purpose of private transportation, and ultimately stagnate growth in the automotive industry, but also (and most importantly) will extraordinarily facilitate the increasing level of incompetence of the human race as a whole. Yes, it will save lives, but only at the expense of basic human self-sufficiency, autonomy, and independence. #WALL-E
@thecubanratio1, Well maybe. And those could be problems we'll have to deal with someday.. But it's kinda impossible to stop such technological progress, based on those concerns. Yes, it will change industries, and alter how society sees certain things.. But that's not necessarilly a bad thing, just a change.
All technology on a whole, is moving in that direction, and it's hard to say what will happen. All we can be sure of, is that huge change will come, as technology advances.
@smlifyrasor Well what it comes to isn't a question of stopping the technological progress, but rather how we implement it. If you truly believe in making manual driving illegal, that only reinforces a rather tragic theme of technological innovation: making our lives easier, but neither better nor more fulfilling; making our lives logistically more efficient, but us ourselves more indolent and incompetent. If you still disagree, at least consider the quality of life, & not simply the quantity.
@thecubanratio1 I dono about you, but my quality of life would be greatly improved if I didn't have to focus on commuting to and from work for 2.5 hours a day. Heavy traffic is stressful, and stress is pretty bad for you.. Not to mention the risks to our lives, from both ourselves and others, on the road.
I can't see how life wouldn't be improved greatly by such a change. 2 extra hours to relax or work. Driving doesn't make us competent, and it going away wont hurt anyone..
@smlifyrasor While it's hard not to agree with you under the limitations of that particular context, your argument is still primarily based on logistical efficiency, both in terms of risk and time. My point is that such a dramatic shift towards external dependency would not only be riskier in the event of a crisis, but it would also slowly deteriorate one's individual ability to sustain oneself⎯if you force yourself to consider every implication of automated driving & similar automated. . .
@smlifyrasor . . .technology within the context of the fictitious futuristic society of ours it would exist in. & driving in it of itself is a competency, albeit not, when viewed individually, an essential one.
@smlifyrasor true if computer software are bugs free. unfortunately, that's as realistic as fiction especially when comes to sophisticated software. these systems in fact designed with the requirement for the driver to stay alert to take control anytime there is a need.
@undocumentedspot Well, that's a problem with present day software, sure. But these things improve with time. And self-driving cars, which lives depend on, will have redundant backup systems, that will take over in the event of a failure or issue.
The other possibility, in the not-so-distant future, intelligent software that "writes" other software, and bug tests it too. Something like this could potentially write far better systems for these things. But that's just a guess.
@smlifyrasor come on all of us programmers know that bug-free software won't ever happen in any near future.sure it will improve but over decades or centuries. or until we have perfect 100% bug free robot tested for many years that can write bug-free software on a perfect hardware. Until then the perfect backup for this system is for the driver to stay alert and ready to take control at anytime. I imagine how people gonna misuse the system, texting, sexting and playing farmville while in seat.
@smlifyrasor You know, life would be safer if it were illegal to leave your apartment to do anything other than go to work. We should legislate that people spend the weekends curled up in the fetal position in their bathrooms. Think of the LIVES we'd save if we did this! Leaving the house kills so many people! It's not worth it AT ALL!
Next test it in Finland when it snows 15 cm snow a day, dark, icy, freezing (up to below -30C), or sleet that freezes up, roads are not plowed fully, there might be snow piles here and there in cities, road signs covered with snow, and your car gets snowy too, people park their cars carelessly as they can't see the lots, elks bears wolfs and reindeers might jump to the road, ...

I like that this research is underway. It does not take away from the driving experience but does provide driving assistance when needed. It could be argued that ABS and traction control also interfere with driving but I think they have been accepted as the norm. This is obviously a test bed and what trickles out to production should be helpful, less intrusive and more informative......I hope.

BMW's motto is Sheer Driving Pleasure/The Ultimate Driving Machine. Where's that motto now if a computer's going to drive the car for you? I don't want to an M3, 1 Series M, M5 or any other BMW being driven by a computer and spoiling the driving fun. Hire a chauffeur then if you want someone driving for you. Assistance systems are good, but not to the point that they'd drive the car for you. -___-

Right now I got my BMW 3er serviced due to an electronic yet expensive problem. So my question is... innovation is good, but you sure to build innovation over high quality? There is no point in having a complex self driving system when the car could refuse to start just for a sensor/software glitch. We already have computers that does that, please let the car to be just driving pleasure

@cwhitty05
Exactly. For a stupid electronic glitch i have to spend a lot because BMW changes the whole steering column. And it's a widespread problem but, once out of warranty we're on our own.
I think BMW is too focused of showcasing how they can go ahead of other makers instead of backing up widely aknowledged problems. To me this is not innovation, is going backwards.
00oBladeo00 1 month ago
@00oBladeo00 You are definitely correct. I'm currently a technician at a dealership, and we see this problem often. Its almost as if BMW is trying to make things as complicated as can be. The glove box on the E70 X5 is a prime example. It has opposing magnets, a dedicated bus line, and all sorts of other feats of engineering, but it could have been done a lot simpler, and would probably be more robust. They do drive really great however, and the driving experience is a privilege.

I know. I'm Italian and yes, we like to drive fast... and a bit mad, and here for now the only option for a sporty RWD saloon is BMW.
I love how the car handles and it's engine, even if it's a 2.0 Diesel. That's why i got one. I only say, here we have the "myth" of the German Car as ultimate quality, and these known yet ignored big flaws are really out of place with the BMW Badge; yet i guess "badge" sells more than quality nowadays.

@292eur Once these cars are good enough at driving, it should be ILLEGAL to drive manually. Most humans are not good enough or safe enough to drive.. Sure some think they are "pefect" at it, but most aren't..
Self driving cars WILL save lives, traffic accidents could be reduced to almost non-existent numbers. And jams will disapear! And that is nothing but a good thing. Screw your self-entitled feeling of "joy" from driving. Not at the cost of so many lives! It's not worth it AT ALL.

@Serrimo As opposed to the every-day constant threat of human error, which is a far more frequent and dangerous one, with human drivers.
If a computer car has an error, safeguards can simply bring the car to a stop, and alert other cars to watch out.
Also, manufacturers will have the added incentive of making these things as error-proof as possible, since THEY are the ones who will likely be sued in the event of accidents. They're likely to make it as rare an occurrence as possible.

@The4neesh, These cars WILL be capable of driving better/safer than any human. It doesn't even have to be "perfect", all it has to do is surpass human driving ability/safety, and the laws will change surprisingly rapidly. It's not my opinion, it's pretty much guarenteed. The public WILL demand such a change. Because the most dangerous things on the road will be human drivers.
If you want to start an argument, don't start nitpicking tiny spelling errors. Can't you do better? ;P

@The4neesh Don't be silly, who would need automated bicycles, that totally misses the point.
And he's not being a fascist, he's being a futurist. Nothing he's said is that far fetched at all. Although there will probably be plenty of resistance to making manual driving illegal, societies change, give it a generation. Someday our kids will think it absurd that we risked our lives on the roads each day.
In a decade, these will be high-end option features, a decade or 2 after, common.

elitypen 1 month ago
@smlifyrasor You would make driving illegal even though the majority of cars will still be manually driven? The fact is that we are very close to self-driving cars, BMW and Google have proved that. It would be impossible to ban all the old cars, people just don't have the money to upgrade. This technology won't be cheap.
uudo 1 month ago
@uudo No, of course not. That would be impossible.
What I'm saying is, once these cars have been around long enough, and all new cars come with these features standard.. Which WILL happen, it wont be expensive forever, technology gets cheaper after time.. THEN the laws will start to change.
Most peoples' cars break down after 20 years max, because people don't maintain them properly. Eventually only obsessive care keeps them going.
Also, kits will be made, to install into older cars.

@smlifyrasor I agree with you to a certain extent, but the concept you have proposed will not only destroy the automotive enthusiast and part of the purpose of private transportation, and ultimately stagnate growth in the automotive industry, but also (and most importantly) will extraordinarily facilitate the increasing level of incompetence of the human race as a whole. Yes, it will save lives, but only at the expense of basic human self-sufficiency, autonomy, and independence. #WALL-E

@thecubanratio1, Well maybe. And those could be problems we'll have to deal with someday.. But it's kinda impossible to stop such technological progress, based on those concerns. Yes, it will change industries, and alter how society sees certain things.. But that's not necessarilly a bad thing, just a change.
All technology on a whole, is moving in that direction, and it's hard to say what will happen. All we can be sure of, is that huge change will come, as technology advances.
smlifyrasor 1 month ago 3
@smlifyrasor Well what it comes to isn't a question of stopping the technological progress, but rather how we implement it. If you truly believe in making manual driving illegal, that only reinforces a rather tragic theme of technological innovation: making our lives easier, but neither better nor more fulfilling; making our lives logistically more efficient, but us ourselves more indolent and incompetent. If you still disagree, at least consider the quality of life, & not simply the quantity.

@thecubanratio1 I dono about you, but my quality of life would be greatly improved if I didn't have to focus on commuting to and from work for 2.5 hours a day. Heavy traffic is stressful, and stress is pretty bad for you.. Not to mention the risks to our lives, from both ourselves and others, on the road.
I can't see how life wouldn't be improved greatly by such a change. 2 extra hours to relax or work. Driving doesn't make us competent, and it going away wont hurt anyone..
smlifyrasor 3 weeks ago 3
@smlifyrasor While it's hard not to agree with you under the limitations of that particular context, your argument is still primarily based on logistical efficiency, both in terms of risk and time. My point is that such a dramatic shift towards external dependency would not only be riskier in the event of a crisis, but it would also slowly deteriorate one's individual ability to sustain oneself⎯if you force yourself to consider every implication of automated driving & similar automated. . .

@smlifyrasor true if computer software are bugs free. unfortunately, that's as realistic as fiction especially when comes to sophisticated software. these systems in fact designed with the requirement for the driver to stay alert to take control anytime there is a need.
undocumentedspot 1 month ago
@undocumentedspot Well, that's a problem with present day software, sure. But these things improve with time. And self-driving cars, which lives depend on, will have redundant backup systems, that will take over in the event of a failure or issue.
The other possibility, in the not-so-distant future, intelligent software that "writes" other software, and bug tests it too. Something like this could potentially write far better systems for these things. But that's just a guess.
smlifyrasor 1 month ago
@smlifyrasor come on all of us programmers know that bug-free software won't ever happen in any near future.sure it will improve but over decades or centuries. or until we have perfect 100% bug free robot tested for many years that can write bug-free software on a perfect hardware. Until then the perfect backup for this system is for the driver to stay alert and ready to take control at anytime. I imagine how people gonna misuse the system, texting, sexting and playing farmville while in seat.
