Autonomous robot cars drive DARPA Urban challenge

[Asiats1]

How do you blind an Asian man? Put a windshield in front of him. My friend tried that on me, and I couldn't see him :(

[NickSaldeba]

What about pulling over for emergency vehicles? And also, do they consider weather conditions such as snow, black ice and rain? Or even extreme cases of wind which can affect steering? I believe we are still a long way away from ever seeing these readily available for the general public.

Wait... was that Jamie Hyneman I just heard?

Did they just call those cars "inanimate"? I do believe they ARE moving, ON THEIR OWN, making them very much animate.

[Daschickenify]

@onionofdeath well technically i would still call them inanimate because all they are is well designed circuits on a vehicle. i would describe a living thing as animate

[mrmootheirrev]

Seemingly human qualities. The SUVs were all annoying cunts, just like real SUV drivers?

[InsideBotBall]

Cool!

[no1readthis]

first get shitty drivers to drive normal, then teach robots to drive

[TylerTexasRanger]

looks like they were programmed to drive like old asian ladies

[Shooter74190]

@TylerTexasRanger It's because it's too dangerous to let let those robots drive faster... They are not as clever as a human.

[zozuYT]

They are stupid. its not that hard with todays technology.

[TheEradicator13]

I could beat that

[Felippepereira1]

and i still yet to see an autonomous car sensing and obeding a trafic light signal. Still, great job.

I still have yet to see these working in weather conditions fog/rain/snow might be to much for the AI :P
