[QUOTE="Aquaman, post: 4966770, member: 68552"] It’s never going to happen. Every company has to have a team working on garbage like this just to promote that they’re thinking up big ideas. It’s not applicable in the real world. It’s no different than truck drivers fearing self driving robotic trucks. Sensors won’t work in dense fog. Sensors won’t work when they’re caked with snow. When they can’t see the lines on the road. When pop up construction zones remap lanes that aren’t on the GPS. A person standing in the road to block traffic and then waving you through, but still in the road. Tires will always need chains. And conditions will never be perfect enough for robots to be running around unsupervised. It’s too risky and dangerous and no company is going to risk the lawsuits. Major cities in this country had a problem with those pay scooters being littered around town. Imagine delivery robots holding up a crosswalk trying to figure out how to go up a icy curb. Ya it’s never going to happen. Cute idea though and it makes for a decent innovation promo on YouTube. [/QUOTE]
