I've just read the following article:
'Peak hype': why the driverless car revolution has stalled
It says:
[E]xperts admit the autonomous vehicle challenge is bigger than anticipated.
And goes on to say:
By 2021, according to various Silicon Valley luminaries, bandwagoning politicians and leading cab firms in recent years, self-driving cars would have long been crossing the US, started filing along Britain’s motorways and be all set to provide robotaxis in London.
And:
Prof Nick Reed, a transport consultant who ran UK self-driving trials, says: “The perspectives have changed since 2015, when it was probably peak hype. Reality is setting in about the challenges and complexity.”
Back in June 2014 I predicted that by 2060 fully self-driving cars will have taken over the world. I mentioned back then the formidable problems of having a mixture of both self-driving and human driven cars on the same roads. I subsequently concluded that not only are the problems formidable, they are insurmountable.
I wonder why most "experts" failed to realise what I realised?
