Reply to comment by LetsGoHawks in Ford and VW Abandon the Self-Driving Road to Nowhere. Big story that with little fanfare by newleafkratom

Well thats not true. We are very close to actually having self driving cars. Just not for every single situation (SAE Level 5). There are plenty of applications within reach for self driving vehicles like trucking, busses and shuttles. (SAE Level 4).

Self driving has been used in trucking for two decades now. There is no comparison between what’s needed to drive on a highway vs an area with pedestrians.

No, it has not been used "for decades in trucking". It has used in mines and other super confined areas for decades. That is not comparable with the wave of trucking applications we are about to see in the coming years.

Yes, it has I don’t know why you’re arguing with me. They still require a driver for safety but many routes are more than 90% autonomous and have been for years in some form.

ADAS is not autonomous. Not sure what else you are refering to

Not on roads.

This is not even close to true. Feel free to cite whatever you have to support what you're saying, though.

Please post a link to this amazing tech that has been self driving trucks on highways for decades.

Tesla announced the first commercially available self driving tech in October 2014, 8 years ago.

Self driving that deals with pedestrians is here now.
