I've long held that proper autonomous vehicles won't happen until every vehicle is networked together and sharing its intentions with other nearby vehicles. Here's a nice slow speed demo of why.

Johnny Cab vehicles could be made silent or have their horns operational only during certain hours of the day, but they don't.Warrior Pump, The_vett and The one california kid Thank this.

Living in San Fran you would think that way before these auto johnny cabs appeared that in order to get some sleep in that city that earplugs would almost be required? But just you wait! I'll betcha those bleeding heart groups will start saying that those poor autonomous robots are bored when they're alone, so we need to install a great stereo, amps & subwoofer system in those cars! Hahaha
The_vett and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
I'm surprised the cab drivers' union in San Francisco hasn't put a stop to these things one way or the other.The_vett, Flat Earth Trucker and The one california kid Thank this.

Who cares?
Robots rule!!
Can't wait for them in trucks, OMG I won't have to argue with one, I won't have to explain the regs to one and I won't have to go through 1000 applications to hire one driver.
Just put my order in at the company, wait my 4 days and then stick it in the truck and GO GO GO!!wis bang, 4wayflashers, OldeSkool and 8 others Thank this. -

The_vett, broke down plumber, Flat Earth Trucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
While I can't argue your very valid points, can you imagine the cluster at a busy truckstop or warehouse, if the bots can fubar a parking lot with cars?
-
Yeah … just imagine … tied up receiver where there are trucks every where.
-
I am sure they won't make too much difference to a warehouse they be saying stupid truckers cant they figure how to drive that's what the majority all others see us I am interested in see self-driving trucks honk at each other because there is other self-driving truck trying back since it gets impatient tries drive behind it only to get hit...Hammer166 Thanks this.
