Amazon subsidiary Zoox has given the green light to test self-driving cars on roads US – IT Pro – News

This is just step 1: Imagine if a steering wheel / accelerator etc is no longer needed.

Then you can set up a car completely differently and, for example, just hang a 50 inch TV and that you can just call / watch TV / use the internet while you drive to your customer / office because your input is 0 and the car also drops you for the right door

The first steps are relatively small and yes then you get situations like Tesla where people think that autopilot is already working 100%.

Here’s a great example:

Level 5 (Full Driving Automation)
Level 5 vehicles do not require human attention―the “dynamic driving task” is eliminated. Level 5 cars won’t even have steering wheels or acceleration/braking pedals. They will be free from geofencing, able to go anywhere and do anything that an experienced human driver can do. Fully autonomous cars are undergoing testing in several pockets of the world, but none are yet available to the general public.

although if I look to the future like this, I guess that car ownership will decrease rapidly (since a car is almost constantly stationary and it is many times more efficient to have a self-driving fleet and to be able to pick up a car on call) will take a while by the way

By the way, seems delightful to me, going out for a night and then booking a fleet car at 4 o’clock that will pick you up and drop you off at your door and since there is no taxi driver it will most likely be a lot cheaper.

at a later age: You do not have to bring your children to school, you put them in a lvl 5 car with a child lock and drop them off at school and you have a confirmation on your mobile (or camera that you can check).

If you really go to level 5, you can also drive very close to each other and thus 0 traffic jams and speed on the highway you can increase considerably.
