Self driving is going the way of fusion power. Always just a couple years away.

I still believe divided highway trucking between major cities with last mile handoff to humans has legs, but I wonder how much the Tesla claims have poisoned the proverbial well of a more constrained system for the foreseeable future.

Once again, George was right. Self driving will be solved with vision alone, or it will never be solved. And solving for vision means solving for AGI.

Vision-only is very very very far behind other techniques. Cruise (the self driving company, not OP) was killed by an overzealous CEO, not by their chosen technique. Waymo drives great in SF.

This is not to be confused with Cruise the company. Super cruise is a feature in GM cars.

Does this mean people who already have Super Cruise will have it no longer work?

If so I think it is unethical and false advertising to have a feature removed from something someone already owns.

That just seems like a train to be honest, and runs into the same problems of who is going to pay for the infrastructure and handle priority.

Cue the Mercedes apologists pointing out their „L3” system that can be used on a handful of stretches of nevada freeways, below 30mph, only when there’s a car leading directly ahead, and only when there’s little road curvature. But hey bragging rights.

Good luck finding non-press videos of it in action
