what’s the background soundtrack?
WTF.……who’s the music director for the verge reviews.….….……this just an adrenal experience watching every video of verge.……its some kinda techno trance genre .….……kudos x‑man ( the music director).…you are the backbone for every video!
Yeah. This is right up there with personal flying vehicles.
I like the Fusion Death Cannon 2000 on top of the roof.
I bet some one will sue the hell out of them. one day when someone die
why do I have pay to ride with Uber self driving car I can have my own self driving car and drink and I will let it drive!!!
Big deal. Not too far from where I am they have self driving Jonny Cabs with a futuristic trapezoid wedge shape. Pedestrians bounce right off of them.
tired Anyone watch one’s better this case .2
camera angle is so bad, its like recording from the bottom up… should be eye level n can see the front mirror
so now uber will start hiring drivers to just sit in the car to take care of the glitches on the road?…lol
What car insurance company is going to insure a self driving car?
I am very excited to see what happens in the winter and how these things will adjust to the icy roads, and the lack of lines on the road because of the snow/salt/dirt build up. I can see this working fine in good weather but in bad weather I would be very worried. But hopefully the technology advances so it can learn how to adjust to crazy weather.
It’ll be a number of years before you see a car like this driving down your neighborhood street. But hey, it makes for good YouTube videos in the mean time.
SONG?!??!?!?
Insurance for UBER is going to be insane.
Bad, bad camera work.
cant wait to get hit by one of these cars. 100k no witness money here i come.
Reasons it will fail. 1. Uber will have to absorb all the cost associated with operating the car. 2. who is going to fill up the car with gas?Change the flat tire? Move off the road during a tire blow out? Answer: Raise rates but that will cause it to be more expensive than a taxi. Uber: dead in the water
Not to mention the policy implications not adressed. Taxes taxes and more fees. How is the city revenue going to be balanced if you take away registration and city stickers?
It is sad that one day we will not drive cars by ourselves. Am sorry but it is really sad they some people in the world will never drive
No one really is caring about the problem. Self driving cars could ruin people careers, business and more. The taxi Industry has more than 1 million workers. If these bigger companies make self driving cars what’s the point on hiring people.
What about gas
This is incredible
Really ? Uber means Trustworthy ? Driverless without complications ? Early days ? Put your kids in these ?
I’ve heard a lot about Uber testing self driving cars lately. I know they have to eventually become profitable but trying to do it by ridding yourself of your most precious asset (the drivers) in the process is a sign of Corporate Greed and will definitely come back and bite them. Think about this. If Uber starts using self- driving cars, that means that self-driving cars will be therefore, available to the public. That means that over half of Uber’s customer base would not need Uber anymore. Eventually most cars will be this way. Granted, many users are people without cars. But I’m an Uber driver and at least %65 of the people just need a ride so they can drink or a ride to the airport which instead of parking it at the airport you could just send it back home and summon it upon your return. If you had your own SD Automobile, you would for the most part just call it up like an Uber Driver! You could take it to the bar and let it take you home. Drive it to the Air Port, call for it when you return! NOT UBER!
So hopefully Uber will consider this in the near future but just like most multibillion dollar company’s, its all about next quarter earnings.

Imagine this, in just a few years you will be able to pull out your phone and PUSH one button and a car with NOBODY in it will pull up and take you anywhere you need to go.
The funny thing is how long can uber afford this technology ? As the price drop is not gonna help the self driving car maintenance due to the advanced technology … and the paying insurance for these cars will be sky high and accidents can happen anytime … if this automatic car kills some one on the road who will be the person to be blamed ? Not some automatic driving car ??
Sounds like a civil war is going to happen soon! When the dumb people murder the smart people, civilization will start all over again, history has already proven this to be true (Ancient Rome).
No Jobs = WAR!!!
