Why the Car of the Future Might Not Be What You Think | WSJ Future of Everything

As autonomous driving technology becomes more mainstream, automakers like Waymo and Geely are beginning to make crucial decisions about what their next generation of vehicles will look like. So could future driverless cars have no steering wheels? And what could the touchscreen dashboards look like?
WSJ’s George Downs explores how the car could evolve when you don’t need to be behind the wheel.

I used to sleep in the trunk space of our station wagon when I was a kid. And, I'd play back there on long trips. Man, things were way different back then.

[@steven.events]

This is all very exciting. Shuttles at my local airport are self-driving.

[@skmanunited]

“What are ppl going to do for a whole hour” 😂😂😂 if my phones charged I’ll figure something out and lot more can be done if you don’t have to drive. But until every car on the road become autonomous it’s not safe to not be in a traditional seating position in the car

[@RUHappyATM]

I wonder who is responsible when there are accidents, is it the car company or the owner of the cars? Who pays for the insurance?

[@rd9102]

LOL, the title of this video made me laugh pretty good. Nicely done. Autonomous vehicles are decades away and isn't anywhere close to market for the general public. The POTENTIAL is there, yes, but the practical application is nowhere near ready and won't be for a very long time.

[@thisismugisha]

3:02-3:09 “ _After all, wouldn't it be great to get into __-an autonomous-__ _*_a_*_ vehicle at the end of the day, catch up on some sleep, and wake up in the morning at your new destination?_ ”. Isn't that describing sleeper trains? Or just regular trains?

[@danjietang8427]

Elon Musk predicted that we'll have L5 self-driving next year every year since 2014.

[@user-bm6xz6pq5z]

Tesla has more recalls than any other company. Normally that would be a huge red flag to stay the heck away, but people will fall for anything that has an "innovative" label slapped on it.

[@coolbluereview]

You know a software update is a recall right? So if your an iPhone owner, you’ve probably had thousands of recalls on your device.

[@charlesrovira5707]

_Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel_. *_Jim Morrison* [ kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGPCiWeMiaiie9E ] That's *Elon's* personal motto: *_Making the impossible merely late._* It's taken until version 12.x of FSD-ß and, while it's now _a _*_lot_*_ closer,_ it still has a ways to go until I'd trust it implicitly.

[@alimfuzzy]

And took away essential sensors.... Tesla's are going to be the least safe auto-autos on the road.

[@Hathur]

Musk has done more harm to autonomous vehicles than any individual or corporation in the entire world. His technology is grossly outdated, stuck in Level 2 autonomy when others like Mercedes have reached level 3. It's all because he stubbornly refuses to use anything other than outdated camera system as the car's "eyes", which are low-tech garbage systems compared to advanced systems that use radar / Lidar and cannot be easily fooled by something as simple as light fog the way camera technology is. For a man who claims to be about "hi-tech", he is stubbornly refusing to abandon garbage old technology in favor what is proven to WORK and is behaving like an Amish person with his adversion to using modern technology.

[@djayjp]

No steering wheel = no liability & own collision insurance needed!

[@WillieWeed]

75% of new cars are self driving. I just hope to have one by the age I can't drive anymore

[@wizaaeed]

75%? Are you living in lalaland?

[@AndriasTravels]

Highly unlikely, for anyone alive today.

[@unconventionalideas5683]

Public acceptance of this technology appears to be waning all the time. I am unsure of how it will work in the long run. Maybe eventually autonomous cars will exist, but that assumes that there is still the money to invest in the technology. I am not confident it will, owing to higher interest rates and aging nature of our society. Of course, horses can in fact, do a pretty decent job of driving themselves if the driver dozes off, but people do not seem to like moving so slowly, or at least it seemed that way until bicycle usage started increasingly recently. It is all a mess, but I doubt that autonomous cars are not yet good enough.

[@bobsthea]

i don't think robotaxis will fly in south east asian countries, we have a bit chaotic and irregular traffics on our road, even tesla fsd give up 😁

[@alexeykulikov2739]

I hope the autonomous cars’ software are more reliable than my iphone’s software. 13th generation still crashes. From the possible buyer: This entreatment features are the last thing i will be looking for in a robocar. Reliability, user-friendliness, precision, safety.

[@AndriasTravels]

It won't be. You have hit on one reason this is all hype for the foreseeable future.

[@charlesrovira5707]

@3:53 Facing forwards in a moving vehicle is a must because *_not_* facing in the direction of motion causes _mild to severe _*_nausea_* and *_disorientation._*

[@unconventionalideas5683]

Sideways and backwards seats seem to work okay in buses or trains, though...

[@gasparbalazs1290]

So seats facing each other and lying flat are problematic because of safety, yet we can have both on buses?

[@surelywoo]

Let's see, what relaxing activity might people choose to do in a self-driving car with reclining seats if the windows happen to be tinted . . .

[@NightyFall]

💀

[@frang340]

Wow tech bros have discovered what we already have with public transportation. Just improve public transportation and we will be all set

[@efone3553]

Count me out of that future. No way Jose!

[@lambertois11]

I do not agree about the end of the steering wheel ! Self-driving still has a long to go to become mail stream! A self-driving car relies on several measuring devices and sensors. These sensors are calibrated at the assembly. But the calibration of measuring devices and sensors will deviate with time and must be recalibrated ; this is a known fact, but never mentioned in the media! Tesla does not provide recalibration services. If a self-driving car has crashed in your car because its sensors are out of calibration or out of service, who is responsible? Is the owner of the self-driving car responsible? Or is the manufacturer of the self-driving car responsible? The legal aspects of accidents with as a self-driving car, have a lot of grey zones that will have to be clarified by the court!

It is gonna looks like a airplane seat for these companies to squeeze maximum profit.

[@rerikm]

I tried sleeping bus in China once. . . . . . . I shouldn't be alive today. It was absolutely insane. don't want to ever do that again

[@galihpa]

Don't call it self-driving until it manages to drive itself without accidents in countries like India and Indonesia

[@anachronox4342]

Impossible in near future with current tech, unless there's big change in Indonesia & India Infrastructures...

[@truhartwood3170]

That's a stupid bar. If no one is driving it, it's self-driving. Doesn't matter if that's on a designated track on a loop. By your definition, you can get in a car with no steering wheel or pedals, and have it take you wherever you want to go, anywhere in N. America, Europe, NZ, Australia, China, Japan, S. Korea, etc. but because it can't do that in India it's not self-driving. Dude, I can't drive in India, so... who's driving my car? And the people that do drive there get in accidents, so by your definition even they aren't driving their cars? So we have cars driving around everywhere with no one actually "driving"?

[@maemilev]

I don't get it, do ev user uses front trunk to store things? I rather have battery install there and when i fail to pay my loan, i can always crash my car for a more fiery compensation. 😍🐈💕💪

[@daveselbow9128]

lets have 'jonnycabs' from total recall

[@Okthisismyusername]

With the seats facing each other, could bigger airbags deploy from the roof of the car and or the floor in between passengers keeping everyone from colliding with each other and in place? Also, could the seatbelt be attached to the seat instead of the side of the car allowing you to be strapped tight to the seat? You’re welcome

[@AndriasTravels]

Airbags can not deploy safely from the roof. Seat belts must be attached to the frame, not to the seat. Engineering. You're welcome.

[@lol-ws6po]

If your seatbelt was attached to the seat, it would probably be worse than just having no seatbelt as you could potentially become a projectile strapped to a seat

[@AndriasTravels]

Let's take the yoke away from pilots, too. Not.

[@mrnoedahl]

Dream on.

[@jaydenleckpa8381]

Okay

[@victorsvoice7978]

Hopefully, the car of the future will make our roads safer.

[@eagleheart1000]

Never for me.

[@Netryon]

Only thing to miss here is so quality VSCode and Microsoft Visual Studio work which should be some hard to track what you put there end screen/card Night Cop Chase and you putting there yourself always - your own channel. You come fill survey and you see how meaningless empty shell that car is if you still barely able to afford it and still dream about any fast five - f9 car or yellow supercar and you answer is still - simple cheep car is that I want. Why have you showed it to us future that is not here yet after creating youtube account 4:13? These gaming companies merging again and becoming one or going bankrupt, but it won't be you who is soon to be homeless. Yes Killed In Action or KIA - that's some car name that is cheep substitute for any good town car. This 1:26 could be what you get, but four years passed and four before and soon there will be new election and nobody - no boss - sees this goal as making the cars and selling it them cheaper to employees.

[@mrnoedahl]

The car of the future is driven by Fred Flintstone.

[@it_security_courses_online]

Car with no steering wheel, interesting, game controller instead?

[@alimfuzzy]

Is it coincidental or irony that this came out just after tesla recalled all its cars for dangerous self driving systems?

[@lawrencefrost9063]

U mean they updated their software using the internet after people did everything they could to bypass the safety system causing danger? Humans eh? Don't spin the story kiddo.

[@plaintextures]

White noise. No substance.

[@user-tx9zg5mz5p]

Never gonna happen😂

[@lawrencefearon6830]

This is stupid. If you wanted to watch a movie and go to sleep then you should call an Ūber. You're asking cars to do things they have no business doing. Man up and drive yourself or call someone who will.

[@robruble6032]

The future will be awesome! People will watch these videos and say,' I can't believe those idiots actually thought this was Gona happen,' . Then get in their 2080 Lincoln Town car and drive themselves to work. Lol

[@Hans-gb4mv]

What does an autonomous car of the future look like? Not that different from our car today. Rewind the clock to let's say the '90s, have a look at the concept cars they had back then, and look at cars today. How close are they to those concepts? I think they are still closer to the cars that we drove back then than to the actual concept cars. The video states that cars haven't changed much over a century. I disagree, But it's a slow evolution and has never been a revolution. A revolution is a gamble, a risk, and manufacturers don;t like those. So they'll stick to evolution. But major changes to the cabin? I don't see that happening, in a big part because of things like motion sickness. Oh, and there's a reason you find sick bags in airplanes ...

Did they really just say Waymo has more autonomous miles than any automaker? This publication has just become propaganda at this point for corporate advertiser interests.

[@abhishekgarg5286]

How about I wear a safety vest & hold up a Stop sign on a road with self-driving cars? AI is stupid after all, since its artificial intelligence, not real intelligence. I guess I could just stop these cars at will, and have some fun, and may be get some stuff from people's wallets. LOL
