I would rather have something like stargate for fast traveling at long distance =)Cool but it's not even close to modern self-driving technology capabilities.

Just give me a Star Trek transporter for planetary locations.I would rather have something like stargate for fast traveling at long distance =)
That's very interesting for sure. Wonder if Elon Musk has seen that yet.
Just when you thought you were safe, all depends on who is over riding the programming. Intended Design and Implementation vs Hack attack on open end hardware vulnerabilities, only known to builder.That's very interesting for sure. Wonder if Elon Musk has seen that yet.
But now what we really need is a self driving tow truck, self driving and operating rescue vehicle equipped with self working Jaws of Life, self driving ambulance, self driving stretcher, self driving and operating surgeons, and above all self driving hearse. Self driving grave diggers would be a good idea too ... lots of them
On the bright side, there seems to be a lot of big money driving this industry now so maybe we will see some positive outcomes eventually. It's a shame though even elevators, which are much less complex, still are not completely safe.
Looking ahead, maybe this is just another step toward robot domination. The self driving cars are after all a form of robot. Maybe eventually we all evolve into cars with our personalities programmed into the computerJust when you thought you were safe, all depends on who is over riding the programming.

This is how these AI driving systems are going to be gamed by humans.In the video above, as the cyclist approaches from the rear right side at a pretty good clip, you can see the autonomous vehicle pull to the left a little bit, increasing the amount of space that the cyclist can use to pass on the right.
One important question that we’re not really going to tackle here is whether this is even a good idea in the first place, since (as a cyclist) I’d personally prefer that cars be predictable rather than sometimes doing weirdly nice things that I might not be prepared for. But that’s one of the things that makes cyclists tricky: we’re unpredictable. And for AVs, dealing with unpredictable things is notoriously problematic.
Tesla vehicles are far from reaching that level of autonomy, a fact confirmed by statements made by the company's director of Autopilot software CJ Moore to California regulators, the memo shows.
...
The memo, which was written by California DMV's Miguel Acosta, states that Moore described Autopilot — and the new features being tested — as a Level 2 system. That description matters in the world of automated driving.
Picture yourself driving on a narrow road in the near future when suddenly another car emerges from a bend ahead. It is a self-driving car with no passengers inside. Will you push forth and assert your right of way, or give way to let it pass? At present, most of us behave kindly in such situations involving other humans. Will we show that same kindness towards autonomous vehicles?

Exploiting the machine without guilt
The study which is published in the journal iScience found that, upon first encounter, people have the same level of trust toward AI as for human: most expect to meet someone who is ready to cooperate.
The difference comes afterwards. People are much less ready to reciprocate with AI, and instead exploit its benevolence to their own benefit. Going back to the traffic example, a human driver would give way to another human but not to a self-driving car.
The study identifies this unwillingness to compromise with machines as a new challenge to the future of human-AI interactions.
"We put people in the shoes of someone who interacts with an artificial agent for the first time, as it could happen on the road," explains Dr. Jurgis Karpus, a behavioural game theorist and a philosopher at LMU Munich and the first author of the study. "We modelled different types of social encounters and found a consistent pattern. People expected artificial agents to be as cooperate as fellow humans. However, they did not return their benevolence as much and exploited the AI more than humans."
If people think that AI is programmed to be benevolent towards them, they will be less tempted to co-operate. Some of the accidents involving self-driving cars may already show real-life examples: drivers recognize an autonomous vehicle on the road, and expect it to give way. The self-driving vehicle meanwhile expects for normal compromises between drivers to hold.
"Algorithm exploitation has further consequences down the line. If humans are reluctant to let a polite self-driving car join from a side road, should the self-driving car be less polite and more aggressive in order to be useful?" asks Jurgis Karpus.
The plasma is only that hot when confined to a very small volume. If it “escapes” it would cool rapidly as it expands.Next up is nuclear fusion, which i can see may not be global when something goes wrong, but locally there could be some big problems when the 100 million degree plasma flood gates break open, In the words of Mister T, "I pity the fool" (that happens to be in the vicinity).

Unless one or more is in the middle of a software update .all cars in the vicinity would be in communication with each other. They will negotiate which one goes first
That's an urban centered future for those of high wealth. Those that live in the country will continue to have private cars and the regular folks in the city won't have nice, clean, sanitized every trip, AI cars driving up to their houses. There will still be a high incentive for private car ownership because IMO most people will not want to depend on some random AI 'uber' if they have the income for something better.Back to the future
I see that there will be no reasonable reason for private car ownership. When you consider that most of the time most vehicles are parked somewhere not running. There will be no garages in homes. Compare that to the airline industry where the duration that the aircraft is in service in the air exceeds the time it is on the ground.
Instead of owning a car you will summons a car to come to you and take you to your destination. If you needed a car for a weekend trip into the country you would rent one.
As for cars at 4-way stops and narrow streets, all cars in the vicinity would be in communication with each other. They will negotiate which one goes first.
That 100 million degrees (Maxwellian temperature) is a containment energy density as a measure of collisions with each other, it doesn't really represent an actual physical temperature of a free plasma.Famous last words
See this is what i mean, assumptions, assumptions, no escaping assumptions.
How small is 'very small' when it powers an entire city?
The first step is to get people to accept them. The truth is the technology is already possible to make them 100% safe (air, land, or sea), but the second step is the gotcha-. Once the populace has no vehicle they totally have control over, then they lose their right to autonomous movement over long (or any) distance with ease (or permission). It should bother people that since 2003, every vehicle has GPS built in so the vehicle can be tracked.Back to the future
