Yes, the technology increases cost not only for the conduit but also for the vehicle.
I am no arguing any real position other than this autonomous vehicle dream will remain a dream for a while and will be technologically difficult and expensive.
A closed system is ideal for autonomous vehicles. Trains operating in closed system and within systems that only have autonomous trains are the safest. Safety is the goal. Breakdowns, failures, nature such as animals and weather with the resulting accidents will continue within this closed system. This idea that cars can share the road with pedestrians, other non-autonomous vehicles, animals, weather, wind, grandma drivers, idiots, etc is a dream.
The technology is great and unfortunately is deceptive with many characters as honest as Elizabeth Holmes.

After the news broke that they had hit the woman and lied about it and had their driverless operation pulled from the market it was reported that they were currently operating with two remote operators per vehicle
And contrary to your contention transportation experts state that the freeway operation of autonomous vehicles will be more difficult and indeed is more complex because of increased speeds. Even with the assistance of LOL remote operators.Quote:
If you would like to know more about the current state of autonomous cars I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
I've been reading for years about the technology revolution taking over and changing the world. Technology advances are great but get accustomed to the let downs I've seen. All of this hype is cool science fiction. Bladerunner was a great movie by the way. That setting was 5 years ago.
And I remember all of the $30,000 millionaires puffing out their chests bragging about putting deposits on Teslas and assembling their small fleet of self-driving Ubers. How's that working out for them? LOL.
And thanks, I don't need to read any more fan boy Popular Mechanics from you. I was burnt out on that crap years ago.
Well said. So much hype on here really has to be looked at through a sober lens.
We are not a gasoline free society and we're not close. Internal combustion engines aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
We're nowhere near full autonomous driving everywhere.
What's amazing is the vitriol true believers express when someone points out these simple facts.
Trump will fix it.
