WHY is a fully autonomous vehicle even interesting to pursue, given that wheeled vehicles and their infrastructural requirements are such a large expense and social and environmental problem relative to the benefits provided?
I mean, out of all the moonshots, why die on this particular hill?
I consider an actual hyperloop to be a much more compelling vision for the future: those pneumatic tubes the banks use in suburban US locales coupled with maglev capsules being routed around electronically by magnetic field switching, etc…
Or flying jetson mobiles etc…
Why is the current obsession a robotic driver of a boring old car ?
