Mercedes becomes the first automaker to sell autonomous cars in the U.S.

Back (more or less) on topic, Bentley says it will not follow Mercedes and BMW with Level-3 autonomous vehicles because the company considers it too dangerous.

You conflated obviously false flat earth theory to autonomous vehicles.
That natural intelligence gets millions of people killed autonomy will drastically reduce this. Accident avoidance tech already saves lives do you want to get rid of that as well?

spacex' self-landing booster rockets (an almost unthinkable feat automated or not) are entirely automated.
I prefer to use natural intelligence.
do you ever use a credit or debit card? they're entirely automated. handling your money no less! talking to your bank account!!
computers used to suck as chess. now no humans can beat them.
a computer was finally able to compete on jeopardy and wiped the floor with the best contestants ever (without internet access).
AI models are able to pass the wharton mba exam and many legal bar exams.
fully autonomous cars are in many public testing places, close to being widely used. tesla's model was to use their entire fleet as data gatherers and also provide 'beta' software to gain real world data of what the cars have done well and not so well. we're all well aware of the errors/failings. laugh/mock/dismiss all you want, but it WILL happen.

I can't believe people still think autonomous cars will never happen...

It will happen someday, but it will face not only technical, but legal, hurdles. As someone noted, if the software injures or kills someone, will the company be liable? You could face class action suits that can bankrupt a company.

have you ever used siri on your iphone or mac? how about google search? that latter question is a trick, of course you have.
don't believe there's people scurrying around looking up things in encyclopedia brittanica and typing the answers back to you.

Well, convince Bentley of that. They are convinced (and not without reason) that Mercedes and BMW are going out on too weak of a limb with the Level-3 system. If you didn't see my previous post, I'll re-post it here.

You're making a hodge podge of invalid apples to oranges comparisons of indexed search engine databases, language model software, machine to machine interactions, and comparing those to the multitudes of unexpected problems in real time that might be faced by an autonomous car software that is let loose in the real world.

....EXACTLY. Good response, asj2024. And that's why Bentley wants no part of it.

anyway call it a hodge podge if you want, but progress is happening so fast one day it will just be good enough.

Sounds like a lawsuit nightmare. Lol
Imagine the car expecting you to take over and you had your face down reading a book. Lol

My whole issue with these systems is that I'll never use them, I bought my cars to drive them. I barely use ACC as is and all other assists are off

At any time the system may tell you to take over at that moment you are responsible for the car.

Except I'm assuming in Drive Pilot the driver controls when to activate it. In the Lexus version, the car tells you when it can go into the semi autonomous mode.
Annoys me.
