BrianFaePerth Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 You’ll no about scoff at the fact that an app on your phone can determine the extent of damage to within 95% accuracy on your car if you crash it. It can alert the towies, feds, ambulance and the like. It can even give you the option to drive home in a newly delivered car of your choosing from the crash scene, assuming the ambo hasn’t carted you off. complete fantasy obviously. Link to comment

That said there will be the option to host cars in your pre-existing driveway. Cash off your subscription. Haha. Fuck sake. ? Link to comment

All the people who don't sign up for this new robot car hire service Brian? Will there be space in the existing car parks for their vehicles or will they have to crowdfund their own car parks when out and about? Link to comment

Quote Australia has 700 pieces of different regulation that need to be changed before driverless cars can take to the roads, according to Insurance Australia Group, which says the advent of self-driving cars is well off into the future. Speaking at an investor day in Sydney yesterday, David Harrington, IAG’s head of strategy said only 2 per cent of all vehicles on the road in Australia and New Zealand had “assisted” driver technology — meaning the take-up of fully automated cars would progress far slower than some believed. “So, we’re actually quite early even in the phase of driver assistance and so while we believe in driverless vehicles, they’re still quite a long way down the track,” Mr Harrington said. “But we think that curve is going to move very quickly and so by the time you get to 2030 we expect that 50 per cent of all vehicles in Australia will have assisted-driving technologies and by 2040 it’ll be more like 90 per cent. “It takes on average 19 years or 20 years to turn over the fleet in Australia and that’s how long it will take people to buy new cars, replace old cars and have cars that have this technology.” See you in 2040.

BrianFaePerth Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 The car doesn’t need to be automated to do it numbnuts. All you need is the app on the phone and a mobiles inbuilt mechanisms. It can already then be taken further by filming the car at all times. Yes, who the fuck wants that, but insurance companies already offer discounts for safe driving. It’s the next step. The car is constantly sending video to the cloud and then wiping it off after a prescribed period such as a minute. If you crash, the last minute is made available to a claims handler immediately. The app tells them the damage to your car, and they can talk to you (if you’re concious) through the app, send an ambo or whatever. None of this requires new technology, or even regulation change.
