Re: Telcos Can Drive Connected Vehicle Ecosystem
Why not? @mhf1ve People seem to be getting nostalgic for the 80s, or perhaps even the 90s now judging from the glasses styles that have come back in fashion.

If Elon Musk's vision come true, maybe a self-driving Tesla will earn its own keep and drive other people in an Uber-like network while you're not using it. Then it'll pay for itself! (And it won't need gas, and electricity is a bit cheaper, anyway)

Re: Telcos Can Drive Connected Vehicle Ecosystem
@mhhf1ve Can you imagine earning a living in such a way? There goes the Uber business! Sounds so simple. But it will be a long ways before this kind of technology is implemented. Look how long it's taking just to roll out 5G, etc...

Re: Telcos Can Drive Connected Vehicle Ecosystem
The idea that autonomous robots might provide income to us humans seems to me to be the way we get to a Universal Basic Income economy. It'll definitely take a while to get there since robots are quite ready to do too many tasks by themselves completely.

Re: Vehicle Ecosystem
@Ariella, That sounds interesting but why does a car manufacturer need to detect a consumer's brainwaves. This is a very slippery slope. In the wrong hands it can lead to mind control. Once a technology is developed you can't control if it is only used for good. I will not buy any car that picks up on brainwaves.

Re: Vehicle Ecosystem
@afwriter. That is an invasion of privacy. Someone could be tired all the time but can still drive a car. Just because a driver is tired doesn't mean an alarm should be raised. Someone deemed as impaired could just be tired or distracted. That is a slippery slope. Drivers could get tickets for a perceived issue that did not occur and how can they fight it?

Re: Vehicle Ecosystem
If cars have these technology how does this impact driving lessons and driver's test where drivers have to park, make turns, etc. If cars will perform these tasks automatically how will drivers respond when a manual override is needed or the car malfuctions and have to be driven manually.

Re: Telcos Can Drive Connected Vehicle Ecosystem
@afwriter, In theory this sounds good. However, the problem of overbooking could occur when companies become greedy like airlines when they overbook passengers.

Re: Vehicle Ecosystem
@JohnBarnes, I don't see how the benefits outweight the risks. Drivers are already distracted with technology and mobile devices. How is wearing a helmet going to stop drivers from being distracted with an non-autonomous car? Even if drivers no longer have to drive why would a driver want to wear a helmet?

Re: Vehicle Ecosystem
@Freehe that is a fantastic question. I'm sure that it would change from how to manually control the car to how to safely stop the car and abandon it in case of malfunction. You would have to think that in the future of driverless cars they would do away with steering wheels.
