I've always said that self-driving technology will come to trucks before cars. Having a car drive itself is a neat gimmick, but having a lorry drive itself is a major, major cost saver to the logistics industry. Ultimately the one with the bigger financial incentive behind it was always going to come first. And as for myself, I'll continue to use the mode of transport that has been 'self-driving' (at least from the perspective of passengers) for its entire existence: Trains. They're so much better than even the most utopian self-driving cars I've ever seen being presented to us.

Trains: some fuss is made about autonomous trucks “platooning”, driving very close, nose-to-bumper, to gain advantage over air resistance. Cyclists use this to great advantage. Trains have done this from day one. Electrifying railways is well-understood technology. Combined with steel wheels on steel rails rolling advantage.

@@chrislanejones There should not be a need for a driver asleep or otherwise. A driver may take the truck to the nearest interstate and switch it into autopilot. The driver goes home, the truck drives itself to the destination city. An entirely different driver navigates the truck from the interstate to its final destination. No one has to get hypnotized by the long interstate portion. Most of this can already be done by intermodal truck-train. Dozens of trailers get packed onto a train. Instead of dozens of truckers having to drive the interstate it’s a train crew of three or four.

People want driverless cars because they hate having to drive (emphasis on having to). But there are better solutions for this problem which would lead to more sustainable and livable cities, meanwhile also addressing major societal issues like sky rocketing housing prices and even obesity. What we need is cities and urban spaces that are designed for people rather than cars.

Agreed, but that raises questions. How do you redesign a city without gentrifying it and alienated undeserved communities?

Autonomous vehicles (even if they're buses or trains) and people-centric cities need to be heavily regulated, subsidized and accessible to all, not just the privileged.

@@hueypautonoman A good start is decrease the number of parking spots, decrease the number of and size of existing roads, while creating public options. Use the idea of "induced demand" in the favor of the public rather than cars. Just eliminating bad zoning laws would work wonders as suburbs begin to "fill in" so to speak. But as you do this build on top of old parking lots, and get rid of big box grocery stores so small grocers can take in that demand with more small stores available through walking or some other short public transit route. Another HUGE step is re-routing interstates around cities that were bulldozed for those interstates. Also vitally important is what kind of housing is built, where, and in what quantity. I'm guessing there are experts who would need to be consulted on this front. It's not hard to imagine many ways to begin this movement. But first and far more important is fomenting widespread acceptance of the fact that we need to do this.

Self-driving has always seemed like an over engineered silicon valley solution to problems we already have solutions for. Just build a good national train net, walkable cities and a good subway net in all cities. Suddenly you don't need a car and can travel much quicker with public transportation than you ever could with your car. Streets are safer, just like with the super idealized level 5 automation, and you can do whatever you want while on the "road". Read a book, take a nap, get some work done... etc. The future doesn't need more cars and huge parking lots/roads that take up a shit tonne of space

But I can also turn all of it off. When I get to a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, or a snow covered logging access road, I can shut off everything, even the traction control, with basically just one button. I hope the future keeps giving me these options. I have no problem with the truck driving on the highway, in fact, I'd love it if it were good enough I could flip my chair around and play a board game with people in the back seat. But when I'm alone on a gravel road, where the only person I'm really putting at risk is myself... or when I need to get to a hospital _right now_, and I'm not waiting for an empty 4am red light to do it....

The latter is what Tesla is trying (not sure what other companies do this but most of them seems to go the first way) and has the benefit of being a more general approach that's not dependent on specialized mapping and having the data always up-to-date but is of course much more challenging to do.

Suggestion for a new video: How future jobs will shift / the bigger potential of automation and autonomy. Positive side: There are already less and less truck drivers (although that has also to do with working conditions), with autonomy you would not need them and they could do other work, same for taxidrivers. Now think about other jobs you do not really need like cashiers in the super market, train drivers, many jobs in factories can be even more automated etc. This is also important as people get older and older and less and less working people have to uphold the economy. Interesting times ahead! (FYI I know that this was only the positive side ;)

What you're saying sounds like everything being automated would be good, I dont agree with you. You said about getting rid of jobs we don't "need" if there wasn't a need for it, then that job wouldn't exist. Fact of the matter is, if you replace it with machines, the human is now pushed out of that job, and not by a small amount either, there are over a million PART TIME cashiers in my country, and more than double that in full time cashiers work, that's a lot of people now jobless looking for a new job, if you add taxi drivers and factory workers, we are talking tens of millions potentially now looking for work, the more we automate, the less jobs there will be for these workers to migrate to, even if you argue that people would be needed to look after the machines, you would only need a dozen or so people, eventually people would just not be able to work, and if people can't afford to live, the economy suffers. Also your idea that the population is declining is also not entirely correct. Yes people are living longer, and while births are a bit lower in most countries, it is not at a point where there isn't enough workers, if you look at China and Japan they show the stark reality of a declining population, so in these two countries you are right, they have a massive population of elderly people and not enough born to replace them, China right now really suffered because of the one child policy to the point they are almost paying people to have more kids, but in most other countries, the population is still expanding and therefore people need jobs, we also need a plan to accommodate the higher percentage of elderly, but that's a separate issue. Long story short, we do need jobs, automation is amazing, but the cost of that is people's livlihood and if we replace everything with machines, it will negatively impact workers there needs ro be a balance, because if people cannot afford to live, the economy shrinks and that's bad.

The main issue of self driving cars is ... liability. Who's responsible for the results of the inevitable bugs and errors, the failures of certain systems, etc? That's the reason why Tesla requires drivers to still monitor everything and be ready to intervene. In theory their system is capable of safely maneuver streets - but just in theory. Lane assistants are also a perfect example: they work fine 9 out of 10 times but sometimes you still need to intervene. Or speed control with stop & go and distance sensing tech: works great most of the time but you'll regularly need to intervene. So who's responsible in case of an accident that's caused by a malfunction of the autonomous driving system? The owner of the car? The "driver" who's now more a passenger? The Car manufacturer? Nobody at all ?

As an Urban Planner, I wish Cleo would have made this video a little longer and talked about another split: private AVs vs public AVs. The built environment looks vastly different if we try to make AVs into private assets like we already did with cars. I think this will be the largest challenge to gaining a critical mass is convincing people that they shouldn't own AVs because Americans are so accustomed to on demand transport. AVs should be owned by municipalities and become another public transportation option; this way we reduce the amount of space we'd need to store them and avoid private companies from stopping the service (e.g. ReachNow and Car2Go in Seattle).

Love the video but I'm a bit surprised that you didn't go into Tesla's self driving capabilities. They seem to be chasing the classic ramp up method from level 3 to level 4 and are getting closer and closer to a general purpose "level 4" self-driving. I'd also have liked to hear more about the technology itself and, for instance, the pros and cons of using lidar vs video processing. I'm quite nervous about the extensive Lidar usage in the space and worried about interference and what issues that may cause on real-world roads. Other issues I'm concerned with would be complexities of multiple self-driving cars (from different companies) with different algorithms on the road, how would they interact? Would the lack of human cues from another self driving car cause issues to the algorithm? Sorry this ended up being so long but, all in all a p fun video, but I was hoping for a more complete story.

I found that also a little sad but whatever since that video was not about which system is better and more a general explaination about the technology. In my opinion Tesla is pretty well set and their way how they build the system and make it accessible for the public in early stages is helping them also to gather more data than others fast. Also the LIDAR discussion is kinda overused as you could always add that to your self driving system in a later stage. The training of the network the right way is way more important. In my opinion FLIR would be probably a better addition than LIDAR anyways. Let Tesla silently go to victory, it's fine! 🙂

We have to further destinguish between user operated systems and supervised systems. Robotaxis are supervised. So cars are monitored, checkt by professionals and maps are manually updated. This is the same with trucking, delivery etc. You save a lot of money on drivers, so you can afford to pay staff for monitoring and servicing the vehicles. User operation is way harder. Cars are expected to work for 10+ years, Sensor get dirty and they should work everyware. Furthermore people do not save money, so the tech is more like a bonus feature. If self driving is 100.000$ nobody is gonna buy it. So the tech has to make compromises to be cheap.

Very good overview, Cleo. I'm of the thought that self-driving vehicles will be an important part of the future, but that converting all vehicles to electric power first is the far more important issue to address (single word reasoning: climate.) In some respects, full self-driving (FSD) has actually slowed down EV mass adoption in recent years, since the anticipation of FSD tech being "just around the corner" has allowed the sort of auto manufacturers who would otherwise be making smaller and more affordable EVs (ie: not necessarily Tesla) to slow walk this more important transition. The true believers of FSD, who look to futurists like Tony Seba for inspiration, will tell you that the technology will make vehicle ownership obsolete. Or, to put it another way, that they will be so much safer than human-driven vehicles - which will be so much more expensive to insure - that driving yourself around will be effectively outlawed, making the incumbent tech prohibitively expensive to own. The other canard I still hear from the FSD crowd is that a modern city, where robotaxis are slated to be ubiquitous, will have less crowded streets and - even if they're mostly still gasoline-powered - that this alone will effectively address climate change more so than vehicle electrification. But, as Saul Griffith reminds us, you can't efficiency your way all the way down to zero. I see FSD (pun alert) making inroads with the long haul trucking industry first. It will also eventually disrupt today's business models of car rental agencies and short haul rideshare or taxis. But if doesn't take the form of battery-powered vehicles powered by renewable energy, then it's all for naught.

Over fitting autonomous vehicles inside one geofenced area might not end up being the winning approach I feel. You can’t scale it, it’ll end up being limited to a few cities. And the levels taxonomy feels a bit outdated, because it’s hard to clearly chart a technology path from one to another. Having cars drive themselves in any situation with human drivers paying attention, while slowly and gradually improving (and minimizing manual interventions to near 0 over time) seems like a better path to converge to a general solution that doesn’t require manual tuning and mapping each city you want to deploy. Also removing steering wheels may not be a great idea short to medium term - I think it’s underestimating the long tail of unpredictable, off-distribution scenarios that’ll stump these cars.

Next, restrict the radio-wave to follow the "safe rules of the road", including finding a surface to drive on, keeping away from other vehicles or pedestrians using the surface of the vehicle, etc. Finally, interfere the controls for the vehicle with the radio-wave! A futuristic improvement will be to streamline the surface of the vehicle to become focused like a laser. Then, the vehicle is very safe and won't collide with nearby traffic or obstacles.

Okay guys this might be the next step from driverless cars. As you guys might already know it cars got stuck in traffic quite often, let's just make a new "lanes" or "tracks" for these driverless cars. And cars only fit 5-7 people tops, so let's make them more efficient by sticking them together to fit more people, and make the cars themselves bigger too! Now we have driverless cars that are computer controlled, have their own tracks so they don't get stuck in traffic and can fit a lot of people! But we can go better from there, instead of ordering and waiting for the cars to pick you up, we can make the cars stop in a predetermined places and predetermined schedule too! And we can make them go over those "places" or "stations" so often that we don't need to check the schedule as well! Isn't that super great? Imagine going anywhere without the hassle of driving and looking for parking spaces!

My inquiry linked to externalities attempts to bring the sustainability discussion to the change perspective brought by self driving. If it remains a technical change that doesn't interrogate our ways of moving around, and doesn't anticipate its social and environmental impacts, it risks to remain within the same unsustainable model. And to look at it the other way, integrated with a sustainability approach, maybe it could help with car pooling, reduce the number of needed personal cars in cities, and push for the emergence of a proper recycling industry for lithium-based batteries and decentralized renewable energy production... That's the type of question I always ask myself when a cool tech comes up :) Self-driving will be Huge, as long as it makes sure to be part of the solution for a sustainable future, not a contribution to its already massive problems.

The approach that companies like Cruise or Waymo are using is fundamentally limited. Can not be implemented in personal vehicles. - Geo-locked. Operates in a small closed area. - Need high-definition 3D mapping. Can not operate without first mapping the roads it will travel. Adds a huge upfront cost, limits the working area and needs to be constantly updated. A simple pothole or a road construction is a dead end. - Needs high-performance computers... really loud and energy intensive computers. Draws additional power, produces excess heat and noise. - Constant network connection and human support. - Expensive and bulky equipment and sensors. - Stops operation in any unfavorable weather condition - rain, fog, snow, dust and so on.

I think Tesla's approach to camera based vision is the optimal solution for passenger cars since that's pretty much universal for the whole world (instead of training it on layouts and locations you train it on visual cues like signs, and general rules), so you could just plop the car in a new city and if it's trained enough on the rules and signs of that country it'll be as good in that city as in any other city it's been in. The downside to it is obviously more bugs and without extensive IRL testing it's not as safe as a trained area with LIDAR, SONAR, etc. For things like busses, taxis, delivery vans, trucks, etc. a more "on rails" training system is better.

I REALLY like your way of presenting a topic! And thank you for not buying into those "bs claims" and focussing on things that are real now or in the near future. Please keep it up!

Self driving cars are great and all, but they’re basically just trains without the economy of scale, less energy efficient, and far more dangerous.

living in San Francisco, it's really amazing watching the cars evolve over time. I was there in the early stages, watching the early testers just map out the city, and now i watch people casually get into a cruise like, "oh ya I'm just gonna hop into the car without anyone behind the wheel". one time i was even crossing the road and one of the cars stopped for me while the other cars just looked at me rudely, i waved at the driver to say thank you. there was no driver!

OK, not specific to this video, but thus far your videos have great content, but more to the point... whoever is doing your audio leveling is top notch, sound effects, accents all done very well.

USB-c, fusion energy, and self driving cars. They are the future, and they always will be.

Semi-trucks even with drivers monitoring the driving will be MUCH safer. Imagine semi-trucks staying perfectly centered in their lane and having steady following distances and consistent behavior. Just did a road trip of 4000 miles and I-80 on the way back was awful with many semi-trucks. BTW, my car did 95+% of the driving while I monitored it on that road trip.

All the more reason for a basic, universal income. The amount of taxi drivers, truckers, gig workers, delivery drivers, and more that will be out of work will be astronomical…

Cleo, its such a shame that you didn't do a deep dive on Tesla FSD, almost the only autonomous software that uses neural nets fed huge quantities of data by videos of which there are 8 for each of 5 million cars. They take all the good driving in those clips and 'train' the software to know what to do and it is then able to 'adapt' properly to almost any situation. Its this adaptative quality which puts the Tesla system above all the others. I'm beginning to realize that hardly anyone understands what neural nets are and its they, like animal brains, that evolved in the arms race of prey and predator that are so acutely aware of behavioral stimuli. Have another go with Tesla FSD!
