Driverless Cars: Hope Or Hype? | Talking Point | Full Episode | Part 2/2

With so many human drivers around, driverless cars are just nice to have. Governments should spend more money on basic research to speed up better storage and distribution of electricity from wind and power.

I think the push for driverless if successful will kill all driving jobs drivers will just be surplus

Truth is, its either Tesla or chinese EV operators who will be successful in the autonomous driving imo

I was already familiar with the progress made in AVs by Cruise, Waymo, Zoox, and of course Tesla in the US, so it was interesting to see what is happening in South Korea and Singapore. I hope you do a follow-up video next year to show what progress has been made by then.

Yes... driverless cars... that's the #1 story in Asia right now... 🤣

Very strict on the CETRAN milestones doesn't mean regulation make jt fully safe, but just a preventive barrier.. Can any authority dare to sign the dot?

CNA should take a more helicopter view on the subject, there are already many countries & firms working on these technologies with various degrees of success & implementation (e.g. Waymo, Tesla) . It would seem from the conversations that the entities are all trying to reinvent the wheel, a key-in-point is when ST recently capitulated on the objective of developing their AV bus. Milestones set by the govt also seems to be strangely detached, expecting the AV to "work-out-of-the-box" while forgoing the need to develop island-wide infrastructure to support the technology.

2024? I can't believe you did all this research and never heard about Waymo and Cruise????

He should’ve visited Pheniox in Arizona as I’ve heard that there’s already a taxi driving around this city for awhile now and it’s called Waymo and several people have already done YouTube videos about this car company already and then I think Google has a car too I think? But this Waymo car company has full self driving cars out for awhile now as I’ve seen a few YouTube videos about them now! Then there’s Tesla as well but they don’t have a full self driving car yet but they are nearly there but you can still buy the full self driving package software upgrade already. So he should’ve travelled to America as well because they are more advanced than Korea and Singapore are so far! I think it’s a great idea though but from the videos I’ve seen online of the Waymo cars it looks scary at first glance but still pretty amazing technology in how far we’ve come in cars! Just wish Australia would catch up with the rest of the world as we don’t have anything like tis yet here but we’ve got Tesla and a few other electric cars but not as much as other countries like America and Europe have got! But I’m a strong supporter of this technology and hope they introduce it everywhere soon! But the self driving buses that’s really good and definitely worth it as I don’t know if any other countries are doing self driving buses yet but America has definitely got full self driving cars already but not sure about other vehicles yet but having a bus would be great! But this guy still should’ve visited America as well as he would’ve seen it there already!

Will be much safer and much more efficient as well, whitch will mean a lot of lives and money saved.

One qns, knowing how our curbs keep getting damaged by Bangla workers and big trucks, if the curb is broken, how will the road sweeper sense such issues? Also, in landed areas where there are excessive amounts of cars parked all over the road, how is the roadsweeper going to sense and move through?

Mixing Driverless vehicles on the roads with the crazy human drivers are not there yet. Human drivers that I see on the roads in the US are always impatient, in a hurry to go nowhere, and are very rude if someone is obeying speed limits, etc. Duh!!! And you wonder why there are so many accidents on the road. If a driverless car hesitates at all and being cautious, the human drivers are on their horns in an instant and yelling obscene words to the driverless car. Sometime in the future, humans are going to have to get used to driverless Waymo taxis, busses, Transport Trucks, or even Tesla FSD drivers. Technology is going to take over in the near future - it is the nature of the beast. If you can't live with that, move to another planet.

Hype.. Not gonna happen for at least a couple more decades

Why do we always act like if mass transit doesn't exist when we talk about autonomous driving? So we need to find a solution to mobility safety, traffic congestion, to mobility carbon emissions, that don't need us to drive? A solution like... trains? Metros? Buses? A solution that already exists and that is cheaper

Sorry, I dun agree with tele-operation with drivers operating remotely, it's not 'automonous' at all, great job with all the research though

Good luck singaporeans, but singaporeans can only afford to take bus and mrt forever

Driverless transport will not work in public area. It might work in sch. That's the best it can go. The reason why it will not work in public area is the complexity on the road is too much for AI to handle. Unprecedented weirdo crossing the road when traffic is red, blah blah blah. The amount of traffic situations r endless. Sometimes the system might fail too, this might cause loss of lives due to system failure. Driverless transport sounds cool and futuristic but it is actually a silly and dumb idea.

WHY DO we need driverless cars and or trucks or merchant ships? why? they say they are safer? not from what ive seen. and they are going to kill jobs. okay, there are driverless trains already, BUT they are on a track that sees nothing alongside them. ROAD TRAFFIC on the other hand with other case to the side, front and back, at different speeds, with incompetents and drunks and idiots at the wheel is another kettle of fish altogether. totally driverless cars were supposed to be with us already. again, why do we need driverless vehicles? we already have cars that can park themselves, change gear themselves, alert blind spots, slow down automatically etc. if you cannot do that , WHY ARE YOU ON THE ROAD!! if you have no skills why, WHY are you on the road/? why do you need a licence then? i thought a licence implied competence. yet with driverless cars you need not demonstrate any skills or competence. its making people lazy. its stupid..and its probably never going to work. im not ever going to let a driverless car drive me through a crowded city centre. ever..i can actuallly do it myself. yeah, i actually have some driving skills and people that need driverless cars shouldnt be on the road..
