Driverless?
If there are driverless cars, why aren’t there riderless bicycles?

Madrid to launch driverless taxis in 2026.
Uber announced that it will deploy autonomous vehicles in the Spanish capital before the end of 2026.
The company is in talks with the Madrid authorities to define the regulatory and operational framework for the service. The aim is for users to be able to request a self-driving car from the app, without anyone at the wheel.

The Future of Transport is Here: Driverless Taxis in Las Vegas 🚕🤖⚡
If you’ve ever imagined a world of autonomous "pods" whisking you through a neon-lit city, it’s no longer a movie plot—it’s a reality in Las Vegas. The ride-sharing landscape has officially shifted with the arrival of Zoox.

New Names
Ever noticed how they like to invent new names for old things so they can claim they’re a new idea.
Take driverless cars, 40 years ago we just used to say “Forgot to put the handbrake on.”

#Tesla #DMV #DriverLessCars #AutoPilot #Advertising
This "news' came out over a week ago but seemed to go under the radar:
"California’s many Tesla dealerships are now under threat. The head of California’s Department of Motor Vehicles said on Tuesday that if the carmaker does not correct its “misleading” branding of “Autopilot,” Tesla will be blocked from selling cars in the state for 30 days.
DMV Director Steve Gordon told members of the press that an administrative judge had recommended the suspension and that the DMV has opted to give Tesla 90 days from Tuesday to come into compliance. “We want to give them a chance,” Gordon said, “you could argue, one more chance, to be able to remedy the situation.” The judge also suggested a manufacturing pause, but the DMV is opting not to enforce it, Gordon said."

#Traffic #DriverLessCars . . .
After wondering about what #Waymo did to get their cars out of the way the night the lights went out in San Francisco, I finally found the answer:
"As the blackout persisted and the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management urged residents to stay home, Waymo said it temporarily suspended service and directed vehicles to pull over and park so they could be returned to depots in stages."
So, Waymo has the capacity to move their cars out of the way when they block traffic but a #RHB (real human being) has to issue a software command for it to happen.

The robotaxi invasion continues! 🤖 Uber and WeRide just rolled out fully driverless services in Abu Dhabi's Yas Island. Your next ride might just be an algorithm on wheels. Progress, or just another step towards SkyNet's public transport system? What are your thoughts on trusting an AI with your commute?

"There's a clear similarity between the mid-2010s and our current moment: they were both times when the hype around artificial intelligence and automation were ascendent, if not reaching a fever pitch. A decade ago, the story was that rapid advances in AI and robotics were about to wipe out millions of jobs – maybe even half of all jobs in the United States – and self-driving cars played into that story.
Within a few years, taxi drivers, truck drivers, and delivery drivers were supposedly going to find themselves out of work as the computers took over. But the technology didn't advance to that level and the predicted widespread job losses didn't materialise.
Today, we're in a similar place. The explosion of generative AI a couple years ago has created an environment where it's easy to sell a similar story of the inevitability of self-driving cars all over again.
There's no question we're slowly starting to see more of them on the streets, but that doesn't mean they're going to be ubiquitous anytime soon – if ever – nor will they solve the entrenched problems in our transport system.
Technology doesn't solve what are inherently political problems. The deaths on our roads and the time we spend stuck in traffic or waiting for an infrequent bus are not because we're using the wrong technology. They're the result of choices we've collectively made for how to organise our transport system and give cars primacy over everything else."

#Tesla #CyberCab #DriverlessCars #EVs #Musk #RoboTaxis: "Back in 2019, Musk announced a million robotaxis would be on the road in 2020. They never arrived then, and likely won’t this time either. Tesla’s share price dropped 8% when markets opened the morning after the event, signaling investors are getting fed up with his lies as the company struggles to sell cars to customers who have plenty of other options. For a long time, it looked like Tesla would become the automotive startup that would make it. But plagued by a self-obsessed CEO, continued complaints of poor build quality, and an inability to deliver new products on time or on budget, its days may be numbered.
Elon Musk got used to getting by with bold statements and flashy visuals that might never go anywhere. But his ability to lie his way to success was premised on the goodwill he’d built up with the public and investors knowing they were still going to make their money at the end of the day. His descent into billionaire grievance politics and his decision to lash out at a world that expects him to play by the same rules that apply to everyone else may kill that goodwill once and for all. His fall can’t come soon enough, but will open more space for a future that looks nothing like the one he has in mind."

Note: I've also heard "heuristic" informally defined as "an algorithm that sometimes fails" or "...doesn't always work". That term seems more descriptive to me. :)
