Meh. Makes me sick that millions of dollars are spent on semi autonomous safety systems simply because people don't know how to keep a safe following distance.

Interesting ad, but mainly because of the AI angle leveraging Watson to assist the creative folks in the story line. Watson has also been used to build trailers for movies and does a pretty good job of choosing scenes and music.

IMO, millions of dollars are spent on semi autonomous safety systems because it's the crawl-before-we-walk approach to full autonomy. Not only do people not now how to keep a safe following distance, a ton of people just don't know how to drive... Period. Computers/machines will do a better job and this is the start of how you correct the problem.

Don't feed the troll.

That is a great ad I agree.

He's just trolling like he always does. I report it and report it. Now this thread will be all about his circus over "being responsible" blah blah blah instead of about this ad.

I'll agree with part of what you say about following distance, but you also have to take into account (and I don't think you are doing so), that some roads have so much traffic on them that the traditional one-car-length following per 10 mph of speed is either impossible or exceedingly difficult to maintain. Even if you DO briefly maintain it, someone will inevitably cut in. The good part, however, is that brakes and stopping distances are generally better now than they were when I learned to drive (some Fords are an exception...they were always good), so you don't always need as much room as before. What concerns me, however, is that devices that don't allow vehicles to get any closer than a certain minimum distance will make it even harder to get on some roads, because they will constantly be holding some vehicles back and won't allow them to merge with traffic.

I won't call you a troll like some have done, but I will give some friendly advice....if I don't like an ad, I simply turn it off.

I wonder how much of that "scripted by AI" is a bs exaggeration.

jrmckinley

Little to none. There is almost no limit to how much a super computer like Watson can "ingest" (reading or "watching") and so you can feed Watson thousands and thousands of commercials, movies, and it can make sense of everything and identify patterns that it knows will illicit the right type of reaction from the audience. Pretty interesting application of AI.

Cool commercial.

100% agree, I've seen some pretty impressive AI applications in the security world both on cyber and physical side with how they learn and predict behavior. Some of the Hollywood AI movies aren't too far fetched. The big question is who will set the rules and what are those rules on how much AI should do.

wasn't intended, i truly believe it's the best lexus commercial i've seen in years. how about you share which one you think is better or best?
