You can't teach an old dog new tricks
Δεν νομιζω να αφησω ποτε το αμαξι να το "πηγαινει" ενα λογισμικο
Αν και αναγνωριζω οτι σε πολλες περιπτωσεις καλυτερα θα ηταν να οδηγουσε κομπιουτερ παρα τo "muppet" πισω απο το τιμονη...

δεν ξέρω σε πόσα χρόνια, κι αν θα ζούμε ...
αλλά τότε, το "αμάξι" θα το οδηγείται μόνο για ευχαρίστηση σε πίστες, για τις μετακινήσεις, θα υπάρχουν οι "σκλάβοι"/τα ρομπότ.

Και η προταση της Volvo απο τον Samuelsson...

Active Safety With Autonomous Driving

Volvo will build upon its reputation of offering incredibly safe cars by continuing to focus beyond passive safety – features such as airbags, seat belts and the like. Instead, the company will strengthen its active safety systems such as collision avoidance, and auto-braking, as well as those still under development. "This will take us all the way towards autonomous driving, which is really the next level in safety," Samuelsson says. He added, "There will be no fixed border" between these technologies, and the eventual autonomous capability.

"Autonomous driving will really be the next big thing for cars, and we're in an excellent position to be credible there." Samuelsson dispels the notion that all cars are safe, saying "people think now it's all the same, all cars have five-star ratings, that all cars are safe, and that's simply not true."

He believes autonomous driving will be the tipping point, when people will really have to trust a vehicle's comprehensive safety systems to hand over control, and he believes Volvo will be a major player in the autonomous space. But his version of what autonomous driving should be, also quiets some of our enthusiast-minded resistance to the notion itself.

"Our vision for real autonomous driving, is that you don't do it from A to B, like Google. There's no market for such a device, it's too unsafe. So you drive manually, like an aircraft takes off and lands manually, but if you reach a boring passage, that's when you press 'auto.' You will see on a map that autonomous driving is now possible, and you will be able to select it, but it will go beyond today's semi-autonomous systems that only follow the car in front of you. It will be able to automatically change lanes, and overtake cars, and so on."

Volvo has currently partnered with the Swedish government and the city of Gothenburg to test autonomous technology and will eventually be doing unmanned tests. Samuelsson believes a commercial application of an autonomous car could be ready by 2020.
