So, lets be clear then, you do not truly own the car. Am reminded of ebook and movie purchases - you're only just licensing the item. You own next to nothing.

Do you really care about owning something that much? What difference does it make if it gets you from A to B all the same?

Exactly this one: http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/10/dont-plan-on-using-an-au...

When you own nothing, and license everything, what's stopping the licensor to ban you, or just increase the prices as they want?

Heavy stop start traffic is already more or less solved. The previous Autopilot system handles it beautifully.

City driving, roadblocks, accidents, and other unusual circumstances definitely deserve to be called more difficult, though.

The parking space could be private and the road public and might therefore have different rules about drivers.

It was Tesla's HQ in Palo Alto.

Truly impressive. I wonder if the Model 3 will also be fitted out with all the sensors and cameras. If yes, I'll definitely get one. As a German citizen, it really bugs me that Volkswagen is incapable of this kind of innovation. I don't see their roadmap play out like they plan it, because Tesla might beat them to market hard. I fear German regulation will jump in (again) to help them against Tesla. Currently, the Ge…

The problem is that most of the established car companies are not thinking in the future. They become accommodate with the amount of cash they have on the hand, and they do not pursue innovation.

Currently, Tesla is the only one who is delivering practical innovation and success!

Is this video sped up to make it seem like the car is more capable? It seems jumpy, and, for the speed at which the car is going and comes to a stop, there is not as much lurching as I would expect.

yes, it is time lapsed. it would be boring to watch the whole thing in real time, i guess.

Interesting for two reasons: 1. It is a self driving car, it is so clearly the future, I wish it existed now, it is going to be awesome (in my opinion). 2. Despite knowing about and following news about driverless cars for a while, there was something surprisingly (to me) compelling about watching the video. It's like you get a little taste of the full A to B that it can give you (door to door). Who wants to speculat…

"Common" as in you that you get to see some every day and people don't bat an eyelid anymore? Or "common" as in being the majority of vehicles. My bet on the first one would be like 10-15 years, the other - 30+.

About self driving cars in general: I am very concerned that self driving cars and speed limits are going to be a very annoying issue. I can see them drive way slow in semi-complicated situations annoying all other drivers. There are also many places in the county where it's normal and seemingly expected to go 5-10mp/h over the speed limit. Of course self driving cars will stay under the posted speed limit. I hope that in the long run we will be able to innovate on how we deal with speed limits especially once the human driven cars are off the road and hopefully illegal. But till then I can see lots of road rage coming from this.
