A robot as a personal chauffeur, a self-driving truck, or remote-controlled rental cars – is this the future of transportation? Start-ups are currently testing their prototypes on the roads.
Interesting video. I’m skeptical drop-in humanoid robot driver approach. Compared to a conventional AV, it adds additional failure modes, and reduces the vehicle capacity by one seat.
Human teledriving is a neat idea, but I’m not sure that it is a good stepping stone towards full autonomy. It almost seems like it could be the worst of both worlds.
Those Korean buses looked pretty cool. I like how the passengers were nervous at first, but quickly found it mundane.
I had the same reaction on the first two. Humanoid robot is just self driving with much more complexity and moving parts. Teledriving, though sounds cool isn’t practical, now that we’re already starting to reach L4 self-driving. It also looks incredibly unsafe in case the vehicle loses data connection and can’t safely come to a stop.
