The biggest question about those cars is where the blades should go. You can't drive on the road with those big ass blades

As classified by the Unites States Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a Level 4 autonomous car is where the car is capable of driving by itself under any and all conditions, including emergency driving. Humans are relegated to being a navigator. A Level 3 autonomous car (Google's self-driving car) can handle most driving conditions, but should a situation arise that it cannot handle, the human supervisor is given ample time to take control of the car.
So a level 4 car would be able to handle terrorist shooting at me from a helicopter with RPGs? Would it handle something like a collapsing skyscraper in a busy city? Or more realistically, getting shot while driving through Chicago? Or more realistically, extreme weather (black ice, severe storms, flash flooding). Or even better, cyberattacks?
I only bring up some absurd examples because "any and all conditions" sounds theoretical, an ideal model that only exists as a definition, but not something in application. Is it, or is the definition more limited than that (e.g. all conditions such as XYZ)? The software will only be as good as the people who make it, so until we start making perfect programmers, manual overrides or gtfo. 04-17-2015, 04:09 PM
If it can sense an object coming from above, it should be able to avoid it like anything else. I doubt humans can properly drive in those conditions either. An autonomous Army Humvee designed for that maybe.....
Since a car is a closed system, a hacker would need physical access to the car. Now the V2X communication is a totally different scenario 04-17-2015, 04:12 PM
I'm pretty sure being able to tell a car to run off the side of the road is all the access a hacker would need lol

If an IoT (Internet of Things) ever becomes reality, I doubt a car will remain a closed system for long, however. There is a lot of potential to have cars communicate with themselves on the road and traffic signals as well. If that's the case, people will have their venue to target cars. Big ifs, but that's what you get when talking about the future after all
At the very least, manual overrides are just good design. You can add as many failsafes as you want, but eventually you're going to come across cases where the driving program doesn't work. It would be totally bizarre not to be able to use your car because the software glitched out. KHg8m3r Wrote:Since a car is a closed system, a hacker would need physical access to the car. Don't be so sure about that... http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/01/...o-hacking/ http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/07/...ew-how-to/ Hacking into cars wirelessly is possible with todays cars, thanks to that unsecured main bus that everything plugs into. Combine that with cellular connectivity via things like onstar and the progressive snapshot thing, hacking into cars at any distance is becoming possible very quickly!

And that's why you should be very happy that some people that actually know about software and security (like Google) are starting to design car software systems instead of the jokers that we have now. 04-17-2015, 08:12 PM

There are a few flying cars already in development but i would bet they will never become the norm for practical reasons. You would have to spend too much energy compared to normal cars or take too much space (like use gigantic wings). There is also the fact that braking is easier when you are down to earth, millions of flying cars would be a nightmare when it comes to accidents in a city. All in all there are too many practical reasons that give conventional cars advantages to see them being eclipsed by flying cars. 04-17-2015, 09:14 PM
Also the legal reasons, cause someone is going to get killed by their car eventually and someone has to pay compensation or go to court.
