I want the self-driving car because I would be a really bad driver.
AI enables me to do stuff at a quality level I couldn't reach myself even if training the skill would be fun. And for driving that means I could get more freedom of movement without being able to drive.
AI is also about accessibility.

I have no car and will not get one. Those things are horrible for the environment and humanity. Driver or not. Cars sucks. Fuck cars.

EDIT: If I have to choose those around me, I want them driven by humans. A human will learn (some) when you yell at them that they are in a bike lane. I trust humans much more than I trust, say, a Tesla, coming from behind while I'm cycling.

A car nearly ran onto me recently while I was stationary at a traffic light. I suspect the driver was battling against his "auto-pilot" system as the car kept trying to drive on me in the bike lane, and the driver kept trying to correct it. It seemed like the computer thought the bike path was a car lane. Fuck the cyclists in it.

Plus, we have proper winters where I live and I'd like to see them self-driving during snowfall and snow storms.

EDIT2: A car is a multi ton vehicle that can easily kill other people. I want humans to have responsibility over this. A death caused by a car can't be easily dismissed, just because some kid or a deer didn't follow what the programming intended them to do. There should be less individual cars and more buses, trains, trams, driven by responsible people, professionals, that are accountable. The only sort of acceptable automation/self-driving are trains if they have a dedicated right of way.

Trains

I prefer public transit

less of both; more mass transit

I’m a good driver, and AI is fucking stupid.

The only way you could possibly convince me to even get into a self driving car would be if my only other option was to get into a self flying helicopter.

Also, just to nitpick, the self driving car can’t “go rogue”, that would imply that it has consciousness, sentience, an understanding of what it’s actually doing, judgement, etc. a bunch of shit it doesn’t have. Self driving cars can and do “malfunction” frequently, but they can’t “go rogue”.

Don’t let the techno fascists’ constant anthropomorphic descriptions of their fuckware chat bots confuse you.

I've never been in anything self-driving, and I'm not sure the tech is fully there. I do expect a future where various vehicles and such are all communicating with each other and able to move more efficiently, but I still think we should reduce the number of single-occupancy boxes on the road.

I'd rather take public transit as my first choice in any case.

Considering the driverless car doesn't yet exist, I'll go with human operated.

I hate self driving cars for 2 reasons:

1, they don't work well. They're out there causing accidents.

2, who is in command? Who do we jail when it kills someone?

I think automatic transmissions were a mistake. There'd be a lot less shit drivers if you had to pass the driving test with a manual.

By the time you solve all the issues with self driving cars you'll always end up with some form of train. So I would suggest skipping the extra steps.

Modern day AI models? Nononononononono

Less cars, less parking, less roads, less sprawling cities.

Trains, pls.

I have intense driving anxiety and only drive around my area willingly, so self-driving cars (or just more trains) would help me a lot.

Until EVERY vehicle is self-driving then no, I'll drive myself

even Teslas still require a human driver.

That's because musk is a moron who made Tesla ditch LIDAR for optical sensors.

Waymo taxis are fully autonomous and are already safer than humans.

Humans are absolutely horrible at driving. It's a major cause of death. Computers don't get tired, distracted, or intoxicated.

There are zero human transportable vehicles driven by AI today. The current breed of driverless cars are based completely on Machine Learning - a deterministic technology as opposed to an LLM which is non-deterministic based on noise and randomness.

I’m absolutely certain all of the idiot takes will be corrected 🙄

The more skills people acquire and use throughout their lives, the better. I prefer people behind the wheels of cars. Some automated commuter trains already exist, and that's cool, but driving is a skill that should be kept by the masses.

Whatever can move the most people the safest and the fastest. Would love some great mass transit.

I don't trust the currently available autonomous cars any more than I trust other drivers so I prefer to drive myself. Even if it was perfecr I would want the ability to take over whenever I wanred to address some scenarios where I don't think autonomous would ever be reliable enough in rural areas. If it was good enoigh I would be fine with it on well marked highways or well maintained urban areas, though I'd rsther use mass transit in those situstions.

Quite a few other drivers should be replaced with autonomous driving as soon as possible.

Humans are bad at driving our multiton death machines. We have slow reaction times, we get distracted, other humans don't react logically, a true self driving system would be amazing.

Sadly none of the players on the market seem to actually do self driving good at all.

Probably we will crack fusion before we have true self driving.

Neither. People are dangerous, selfish idiots and robots are created by dangerous, selfish idiots.

We don't have driverless cars here but that doesn't matter. No way would I get in one.

Neither but no driverless cars is the preference.
