I've always kind of felt like the only way cars become autonomous is if humans are completely taken our of the equation. The cars need a standardized system to communicate with each other and be aware of each other with more than just cameras and lidar.

Which at that point, busses with the same technology should be widely adopted... but I know how that goes...

    15 years ago i thought the state of self driving cars by now would effectively be there, they all could theoretically know where every other vehicle is and how fast they're moving just from GPS and wifi

    instead we just get AI grifts where the AI is a guy in the phillipines being very underpaid to taxi with a 1300ms delay

    In the current state, autonomous driving is just as much of a pipe dream as colonizing mars.

    I know that but it also really doesn't feel like it has to be that way. I don't envision every car driving itself though, more like a central AI that knows everything about every car directing everything. You could even reinvent trains by having vehicles going in the same direction link up like those bugs that walk around having sex
