  1. Has anyone been comfortable enough with this technology to actually sleep in a driverless car and have it wake you at your destination?

  2. 15:14 - How is this going to get rid of parking lots ?

  3. Vexed Films I don't see that as a big win, or perhaps not a win at all. Your car is driving and using energy and the streets. If something goes wrong you won't even know where you car is to go get it. Around here we have a private school in a residential neighborhood where hundreds of cars all converge on a small area of sidewalk to drop their kids off. Having this run by driverless cars I am not sure it would work very well, at least at first. It makes more sense to me to have some way of parking your car so you are not using energy and making pollution. Also ... if you are inside and your car is out parking or driving without anyone in it ... who is responsible if it gets in an accident .. let's hope it is Google! ;-)

  4. DynamicUnreal Are you following the conversation at all or just popping off? Some ideas might be fine for the medium term future, but right now many if not most people need their cars, or they would be taking public transit. Go ahead and do whatever you want with your car, I just do not think that parking lots are going away any time soon, and if they are not, all those cars will be on the streets making traffic worse.

  5. I can understand I think just about everything else, but I don't have a good idea about how these cars decide at a stop sign or see a stop light or interpret it.  That seems to be hard to figure out to me.

  6. People in the Mountain View, CA area are idiots as drivers.  So I am happy to see this system take over, and look to it to evolve and get better, and maybe even communicate between cars in the future.  But, one thing, if people drive less they will get to be even worse drivers than they are now ... did you ever thing of that?  ;-)

  7. I see these cars driving through Mountain View Calfornia every day.  Another thing I wonder about is what about construction zones where there is a worker directing traffic that has a stop or slow sign and manually routes someone through the zone?
