Maybe if we built more of those, more people would be within walking distance of them.
Trains for local transportation make no sense. Trams for high-throughput and buses for everything else is the only sensible thing for local public transport.
Plenty of people take trains for local transportation every day.

>Mercedes FSD prototype, 10 years ago: Mercedes FSD prototype 1986 to 1994 via the 400 Million Euro EU funded Prometheus project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I39sxwYKlEE It's funny that German, and Italian researchers and car makers had the early lead on self driving tech and then lost it by shelving the tech. Oof. Which reinforces my earlier point I made in another thread here today, that innovation only happens…
Actually a very common occurrance. I don't think FSD on todays level was possible in '94 and the projects failure was inevitable unless it had been continously funded for at least 15 years more.
>innovation only happens in the EU as long as it's government funded and as soon as the funding stops
Seems like a bad example. Funding stopped because the technology didn't work.

> Liability isn't generally something that is granted, it's either there or not. If Tesla FSD causes an accident, they can absolutely be sued for that in the US. That’s not what liability means here. Assuming the story is true, it means Mercedes is responsible for damages caused when the system is engaged and the users know that when they buy the car. Being sued afterwards is not the same thing. > The reason that "Te…
Yes, because an accident is when there are personal injuries, otherwise it’s a collision.
Point is these types of events are not being reported by Tesla, while every other company testing self driving technology (specially ones that have CA DMV permit to do so) are reporting them.
Friendly reminder that this system is HEAVILY limited, with the following restrictions: - Must be under 40 mph - Only during the daylight and only on certain highways - CANNOT be operated on city/country streets - CANNOT be operated in construction zones - CANNOT be during heavy rain or fog or flood roads And for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjZSZTKYEU4 Tesla FSD navigating the complex city streets of…
Even considering its heavy limitations, the Mercedes system is miles better than the Tesla, because it is actually useful. You can actually turn on the system and do your email, or take a nap. Yes, the 40 mph limitation on highways seems to make it useless, but many highways get congested to the point where you are not going over 40 mph anyways, and those are the times when it is most frustrating to drive. And regard…
Are there equivalent videos for Mercedes?

Can you explain how - Must be under 40 mph - Only during the daylight and only on certain highways - CANNOT be operated on city/country streets doesn't exclude all roads? Where I live, highways all have a speed limit of 65-75 mph, and all streets with a speed limit of 40 or below are city our county roads. So where can you actually use this?

In those, you can see the system disengage the second it doesn’t have a vehicle to follow at slow speeds right in front of it (like when the vehicle ahead changes lanes).
Useless.

Ngl that sounds like it requires more attention than autopilot, if you’re not doing anything and then have to take full control that sounds like it could lead to an absurdly unsafe outcome
