GM commits $3 billion to build electric and autonomous vehicles in Michigan
GM will kick off this new program with an all-electric pickup truck that will go into production in late 2021. The Cruise Origin, the electric self-driving shuttle designed for ridesharing, will be the second vehicle to go into production at the Detroit area plant.
Detroit-Hamtramck will be GM’s first fully dedicated electric vehicle assembly plant. When fully operational, the plant will create more than 2,200 jobs, according to GM.
The Cruise Origin seats 6, and has no steering wheel or pedals.
It will share EV hardware and assembly line with the new electric Chevrolet work van and electric Hummer pickup that is set to debut in 2022.

Was waiting on something like this.
With the google car and Teslas it was bound to happen.

Let’s assume that the autonomous driving system works flawlessly (none of them do BTW).
They are targeting smaller transit fleets for universities or ride shares. If there are no drivers in these cars, what’s stopping vandalism, destruction of property, or theft of parts from the vehicle? Will the car automatically know that it’s been barfed in and needs to be cleaned?
This is like the Segway. Only the “enlighten few” will try it. It will not catch on for a long time, if ever.
The electric pickup truck and work van probably will though.

This is the future people. You won’t even own a car. Just dial one of these up on your phone and in 5 min your carriage awaits.
No more dui, traffic jams or Morris Barts.
Will shake up property values as well since living close to town to avoid traffic will no longer be a benefit.

How does that work with subways?
Figure it will have a maintenance button you can push if it's got puke in it, etc.
I do see it getting a lot of graffiti.
Definitely some sex happening in there, for sure.

Anecdotal but I have heard one main challenge to autonomous vehicles is they have not been able to figure out how to address a cop directing traffic.

How long until AI and Neuralink let me drive the car with my mind?

No driver to keep people from trashing the thing. Hopefully it will price out the bus/ public transit folk

I really see it taking off in places like Manhatten, Chicago, London, and SF
The human driver kills efficiency in Urban settings. If you fully automate the driving process, you could get rid of traffic lights, rubbernecking, and bottlenecks almost altogether.

Yet , I still can’t get a Ford F-150 that will cruise down the interstate by itself :-/

It's hard to imagine a day when wrecks on the Mississippi River Bridge are a thing of the past.

There will always be something to litigate.

Looks like Baton Rouge is being proactive by not ever building another bridge over the river.

Yeah, the first time either China or some 14 year old little shite in the basement hacks one or 10,000 of them into autonomous deathmobiles will be a field day for ambulance chasers.

You sound like the person saying people wouldn't give up their horses for cars.
This is coming. The world is on the edge of a technological revolution few of us can imagine.
With it will be some good and some bad.
Moving from hundreds of years of horse powered transportation to automibiles in a decade was radical but it's nothing compared to what's coming.
Crazy to think my 6yo will likely never have a driver's license in the sense that we have today.

I'm all for autonomous vehicles and agree traffic will improve substantially once all vehicles go this route but just like when I get an Uber or Taxi I wouldn't care to ride in one with strangers
