Tesla's Autopilot System Is Creepy And Wonderful

We test drove Tesla's Model S Level 2 autonomous system, known as Autopilot. It was super weird and super fun.

in 10 years we'll be laughing at how nervous he was

The most impressive thing about this is that the car used its blinker. We can't even get stupid people to use the god-damn blinker. *slow clap*

In 20 years people will be like: "Remember when we used to actually drive our cars? Ah... the good old days" xD

This was added by a software update. In a car. Think about that for a second.

Good. Now I can put on makeup while I drive.

I wonder if a person has to be in the drivers seat of the car for it to work. If not how crazy would it be if say a man calls his wife from work and tells her to send the car and she just goes into the garage puts in the address and the car drives itself there. The future is going to be crazy cool.

In the future, our descendants will consider this video to be an important ancient artifact showing what things were like just before advanced, human-like intelligence (Ahli). It will be seen as an important milestone. And our descendants will laugh heartily because the humans are already scared of them.

I want money so I can buy one of these.

[largocorto]

I am so excited that I could potentially live in an age where my car could drive me where I want to go.

[dingus]

the future is now, when are we getting hoverboards?

[Mellowspark]

I'd be so freaked out to sit in such a car. Technology is wonderful but leaps like these are sometimes frightening.

What kind of safety precautions will this have? As someone who is a programmer, I know things can run pretty well, especially at the start, but sometimes things can get sluggish, malfunctions happen, etc.

As a lifelong car enthusiast, I like where this is going. I envision a future where 95% of cars on road are both autonomous and electric. This would leave the 5% of gas powered, human driven automobiles to enthusiasts who appreciate driving as a more visceral experience instead of just a means to an end.

Well, pretty soon the lizard overlords will be able to control our cars too. I'm going to start preparing for a life in the wilderness.

Watch as a gay man tries to comprehend technology.

Back in my day we didn't have no fancy autopilot with your text while daydreaming, we had cruise control, and we liked it!

[Cberob]

Imagine if you can get enough self driving cars on the road, the reduction in traffic from everyone driving at a moderate pace. One can dream

How does it sees red lights??? Does it just wait for the care information to stop to stop? But your not always behind a car at a red light.
