I wonder if it can understand hand signals, like this middle finger?  *

Shouldn’t that be “boat”?

Are you people simply incapable of NOT trolling every time I do a topic?

I was just thinking that myself.

 

Impressive as the advances in technology are, I don't understand why they cannot design an electric vehicle that doesn't look like it's been lifted straight from the pages of some kids drawings.

 

Almost every single eCar, bus or other type of e-vehicle seems to have some absolutely bizarre angles, points, quirky shapes, ridiculous interiors, impractical doors, computer game style dashboard systems, gimmick filled central consoles.....

 

All no doubt adds lots of pounds to the price tag and in my view, generally puts off your average man on the street consumer who just want a half decent reasonably priced run around to get them from A to B which actually looks like a normal car but they can just get in and drive without 101 apps to download and a degree in computer sciences.

 

I suspect scaling it up bus and truck companies must also be thinking the very same.

No one's trolling you so try not being so sensitive. 

I'm assuming the boat reference is regarding Cambridges famous rowing boat team.

Spelling mistake

A serious weakness of these devices are the inability to detect, predict and respond to people, families, bikes and students.

Cambridge has all of these in spades.

Surely the concrete bus would have been a better vehicle to adapt and test out.

A bus made of concrete , please tell us more

Saw a dude in a self-driving Tesla, asleep at the wheel on motorway (doing motorway speeds). Car was changing lanes etc on its own!

 

Anyhow, he was pulled over by the police, apparently this being asleep at the wheel isn’t safe.

 

Once all cars are self driving, people will be sleeping at the wheel, and it’ll probably be a lot safer than if people were awake and driving.
