What about when criminals figure out how to take over the controls of your car and drive it to a location they want and rob you blind?

[@michelevitarelli]

@@blackened872 I never thought of that! No thanks.

[@BurtDavis]

Not just drunk drivers. The amount of accidents happening due to distracted driving is around 25% of all vehicle accidents. Smart phone usage while driving has made our road and sidewalks less safe. Automated cars remove that factor. As far as comments about criminals and glitches, maybe you should not use a credit card either. We will overcome the obstacles, but letting go of vehicle ownership entitlement will be tough. The men's middle age sports car dilemma will have to evolve to some other placebo.

[@BurtDavis]

@jan simonides you might want to avoid any technology with that mindset. With all those "fears" you have, I'm surprised that you would own a smart phone, credit card, or even a computer. The good news is that it's going to happen despite your fears. Welcome your new autonomous overlords. Bwahaahaa

3:33 Graph does not bear out what he says. People adopt new technology based on cost vs. utility, not what he was trying to say, that we're quicker to adopt things now than people were in the past. Cars rose just as steeply as computers, but topped out at 60% for a while because of the cost vs. utility for the poor. Radios quickly rose to near ubiquity because they're cheap and fridges because of high utility. Telephones spread slowly because of the infrastructure cost. Once the cellphone network was in place, it didn't cost much to add new customers compared to physically wiring up every house in the world. The statistics do not show different consumer behaviour; they show that people always buy things when the technology gives good enough value for the proportion of their budget they'd have to spend.

[@johndemeritt3460]

There are a lot of unchallenged assumptions in this video, but I'm glad to say the presenter recognizes the need for foresight and the need to anticipate unintended and undesirable effects of this new technology. No new technology enters the wilds of human society without unintended or undesirable consequences. And, as Larco notes, there will be cascading effects. Take the insurance industry, for example: if an autonomous vehicle gets in an accident, whose fault is it and whose insurance covers the accident? Larco addresses autonomous vehicles as inevitable, and there are good reasons to want them . . . but are they really inevitable? As one who studies technological innovation, I see that it's easy to be taken in by the shiny new technology and the idea of technological inevitability; however, as Rogers made clear in his classic Diffusion of Innovation, there have been a lot of technologies that initially looked like they'd take over the world, only to fail because they never reached the critical mass necessary to make their progress through society self-sustaining. Many of these technologies never appealed to people outside innovators and some early adopters (weren't we all supposed to be riding Segways to work by now?). Other technologies failed to take off because they contradicted existing social constructions of how things work in our world: even a technology as simple to adopt -- and already well-known -- as boiling water can be rejected because the new reason for adopting it doesn't account for the existing social construction for why you should boil water. The point is that until we deal with the social construction of "cars" and "personal freedom" and a number of other social construction issues, autonomous vehicles will remain a shiny possibility waiting realization. Because until we recognize that there are hosts of laws that have to change; economic models of production and consumption that must be factored in; deeply vested interests that have power to resist new technologies; and varied, differing social constructions of human living environments, autonomous vehicles may remain nothing more than technological curiosities that leave people wondering, "Why don't we have self-driving cars? They promised us self-driving cars!" Just like the IBM ads from the mid 1990s . . . . I'm still waiting for my flying car . . . .

[@brendarua01]

This is a nice argument. Thanks for sharing. I mostly agree with you and am glad to see the role of marketing to create need and ultimately, demand.

[@danellis-jones1591]

I agree. But I think that the key aspects of car ownership are not affected by autonomous vehicles. The trust in their safety is the biggest hurdle. Once that is resolved, the investment is so frat that car manufacturers and other companies pushing them will ensure their deployment (safety notwithstanding). HOW they will affect our lives is tougher to predict

[@BXJ-mi9mm]

Autonomous vehicles are inevitable. It is a matter of time. Everyone things it will be mid-2020s, too. They already work perfectly on closed roads. The humans are the limiting factors right now. It would only take one city to ban human drivers in a city center for that technology to be used effectively.

[@erikb8877]

Insurance? That’s easy. Everyone will still be required to have insurance but rates will be really cheap. I would think your insurance would cover your vehicle and passengers only.

[@rainbowpierrot1951]

IM DYING FOR IT

[@brendarua01]

My mind put on the breaks when he pretty much made his case statement that adaptation is happening faster and faster.. With societal isolation, resistance from people was heavier, so decisions take longer. 100 Years to reach 95% adoption of the telephone; 10 years for the cell phone. Well they are exactly two items to be compared. The introduction of the phone had to start from step 1 in many different subjects and legal entanglements. Cell photes and wireless started a step from the top and they are a lateral shift for the consumer, not a new one for land line users. But this doesn't negate his general point.

[@micahdelport2363]

A real catch 22 , if we fully adopt this into society as it will save do many lives but drivers will lose their jobs

[@NickoDeucez]

All this newly discovered innovation for automation technological efficiency. But what happens to all the newly unemployed cab drivers? How will this affect the unemployment line? How this affects family households? How it impacts society ?

[@rufuscrackle]

What about people working in insurance, nurses and doctors not having all those crippled and hurt people. Psychical therapists, auto body people, repair shops won't be getting business from the fleets that will replace a lot of cars individual won't want anymore. Millions of truck drivers and the truck stops that support them. Robot cars won't go in but will only fuel up. Lot more things going to happen than people think about

[@loanauditscal]

The answer isn't jacking up taxes on everything. The answer is ratcheting down our expenses as cities. Cities are far too expensive and the cost of living needs to come down significantly. Without a car, LA becomes much more affordable. I see mobile hotel rooms that autonomously pick up guests from the airport and link into scaffolding pods. Or people hire out their own cars to work for them while they themselves are at work. The streets will be busier but the parking lots will be empty. Wonderful. We need more housing for the thousands who are pouring into Los Angeles everyday. The challenge is to make our cities easier and cheaper to maintain. By the way, flying cars will be quick on the heels of this. We already have them - we call them drones right now.

How do accidents get dealt with?

[@QuebecTerreaTerre]

Whenever I drive, I never use the cruise control of the air conditioned. I don't mind a driver's assistant but I'm not about to let a car drive for me even if statistically, it may be at some point "safer" than a person driving. I believe most accidents are caused by reckless drivers or by people who don't pay enough attention when they drive.

[@maxcorey8144]

This vehicle thing cannot keep getting bigger and bigger. Billions more cars and trucks are not the answer. Tires, oil, gas, electricity. Perhaps something nobody has even thought of yet. Teleportation? Interdimensional travel?

[@4tops]

Cities will become more attractive. The noise and pollution will dramatically diminish with EV's, the safety will increase. Selfdriving service will be better in cities. The freed up parking space will likely get divided into more green spaces, seperate biking lanes and habitation and commercial spaces. The increased density generally also means more cultural and commercial services become viable. So quality of life will increase inside cities.

[@QubitHQ]

I get where the speaker is coming from, and agree with a decent amount of what he's said, but the analysis of what needs to be done is what I disagree with. The "getting people prepared for what's going to happen" seems counter productive. When do we see bureaucracy like this ending up being a good thing? I for one am happy that engineers are pushing to make the technology and forcing it onto the community through market's demand and supply, rather than trying to find a political / social way of inserting it.

[@MsLia32]

This should be good news for people in America, that way they can commute further and spend less money on housing. I am thinking this technology is going to keep some people from living out of their car.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

This talk should hopefully raise awareness and frighten people. Not about autonomous vehicles, mind you - but about these "enlightened" city planners with authoritarian mindsets who see you and your property (both real and personal) as subjects over which they seek to exert complete control with or without your acquiescence. There is an agenda at work here, in case you hadn't noticed - to herd our citizenry into clusters and to assert absolute and dictatorial control by means of monopolistic direction of the infrastructure. Be afraid, fellow citizens. Be very afraid.

[@potpieyt4834]

Wow, you barely scratched the surface of how AV will change the world! Think of amazon! Malls are already closing down because of Amazon's increased growth. Walmart is already planning on building less and changing their model to the same as Amazons. What does that have to do with autonomous vehicles? Allot, Amazon is a huge investor in autonomous and artificial intelligence design. Imagine rather than driving to Walmart for groceries, you simply order from your phone, a warehouse full of autonomous robots loads your order, stacks it onto an AV and it gets delivered to your door. Phoenix AZ already has a dominoes pizza joint that makes pizzas autonomously AND delivers it to your house via an autonomous vehicle. The semi truck industry IS tapping into autonomous semi trucks that are currently in the testing process. The list goes on and on, so what are we going to do about the loss of jobs as AI an autonomous vehicles take over? That is the big question.

Imagine a world where everything is done for us. There's a sense of fullfillment that goes unnoticed and is taken for granted that we get we accomplish tasks on our own..even small miniscule ones. Our brains are made to complete tasks, and we gain gratification from doing them. What do you think will happen once more and more of our fullfillment is stripped away? I see employment rates dipping, depression rates increasing, more social isolation, which is going to lead to a degradation of our society. I could be completely wrong, im open minded and willing to embrace change; but at this moment in time this is my opinion. It's honestly a little scary to think of it; and while it may be EXCITING and NEW, the buzz will wear off and we'll all come down from this new high. Just as history repeats itself we'll continue to wonder where the good ol days went when times were 'better'.

By far the biggest impact AVs will have will be on the political economy. AV trucks will be adopted just as quickly as they can be built. Taxis will be almost as swift second only to car-sharing. 3 million drivers will be out of work in a space of 2 years. Secondary jobs, hundreds of thousands, will be gone in 3 years. Retraining will put about 4,000 of the newly unemployed back into a new field, about .1% effectiveness. Massive joblessness will be layered on top of an existing populist movement. Right-wingers, Republicans will lead a parade of persecuting minorities. The Progressives will try to lead a revolution akin to the French revolution. Battle lines will be drawn between racism and classism.

[@Mido-gi1gw]

I think there are two assumptions, which aren’t quite correct in that presentation. 1. Assuming that we are going to adapt Autonomous vehicles very fast ,because our technological adaption rate has enormously increased with time. I think this is a really wrong assumption. First there are way more technologies that economically failed than that that has actually succeeded. Second The comparison of cell phones to telephone as an example doesn’t consider the price difference between both devices. The telephone had clearly a larger value at its time than the cell phone and therefore it would cost more, thus slowing the adaption rate 2. Assuming that we somehow actually adapted autonomous vehicles, we won’t actually adapt a fully automatic vehicle. I don’t think that a human being can trust, what it doesn’t understand. Most people will never understand the technology behind these vehicles and therefore they will always assume that everything is possible. Take planes as an example, they are fully automated since more than 10 years, however passengers can’t take a plane without a pilot. I do think that autonomous driving is possibly economic, but only as an option, not the main way we are going to drive our cars.

[@PeteS_1994]

I think fully autonomous cars would be the future but it will take years for us going through semi autonomous cars to get use to the idea. Our ancestors weren’t used to horseless carriages however they started to use cars. Technology like Amazon Fresh stores, AI would make us get use to the fact that a car can be fully autonomous in built up areas.

[@hazzimodo1574]

I think the large emphasis on how parking spaces will be needed less due to autonomous vehicles is not quite relevant/correct to this talk. Any increase in use of taxis, ubers or paid transportation from a vehicle that is not your own would reduce the need for parking spaces. Whether the vehicle is autonomous or not, will not effect this.

[@jaredtrodriguez]

This didn't "just happen to us." Our current living arrangement (suburbia) was well-planned and deployed as part of a very organized and structured effort. AV planning is already ongoing and lobbyists are prepping to mobilize new rules that enhance and enable increased decentralization, which supports industries that enable and benefit from decentralization.

[@garwarep]

AVs are very important, however, when you discuss some of the cons with it, I guess the Auto industry experts might also worried about their sales. As you have more cars to share the rides (especially when they are in parking and can be used/shared by others) Car-sale will go down and it will affect automakers business and eventually will also affect the jobs in the Auto industry as well.

Don’t agree with the analysis. Yes if you want to live in the woods you can. You can do that now too. When urban prices reduces, the cost of business and housing reduces, the parking lots will be used for other businesses and housing. This will attract people and businesses to move to city not away. When we have silent autonomous electric cars we will have a much better quality of life in cities. Some of the big parking lots can become playgrounds and parks.

He missed some of the big ones. The jobocalypse, because as much as 20% of jobs involve driving; if just cross-country and long-haul drivers are eliminated, that's a big hit on the economy. The big losers will be the cities' loss of income from parking tickets; cities make a ton of money in overtime parking and illegal parking during events and weather emergencies; the city of Madison WI was upset a few years ago when they weren't allowed to raise the fine for winter parking violations--it cost them millions of $. Another issue is policing; Cops will be losing jobs because cities won't need them and can't afford them--cities make money off traffic stops.
