No I don't know "how that works". I don't even know what you're talking about or what you mean by "bereaucratic (sic) jurisdictions around the world that will cause the delay." What does the bureaucracy in another country have to do with allowing self-driving cars in the US or Canada? The answer is nothing at all. We don't need to wait for Iran or Italy.
While 12 months may be somewhat optimistic for full autonomous, 6 - 7 years is absurd for self-driving.
The number one cause of death for teenagers is motor vehicle accidents.
94% of motor vehicle accident deaths (35,200 last year alone) are human caused. Motor vehicles deaths
increased by the largest percentage in 50 years last year. We are going backwards when it comes to motor vehicle safety. Self-driving cars, with a driver in the seat, are not on drugs or alcohol, suffer mental or physical conditions, road rage, and list goes on and on.
There's a reason why the President wrote an Op-Ed on this issue:
Barack Obama: Self-driving, yes, but also safe
Why some people think we need to be drinking Koolaide to think cars will be self-driving in 12 months makes no sense to me when we currently have the technology to have AP2.0 do today pretty much everything a human can do, but much safer than the vast majority of humans. The position you take issue with reads: "Tesla expects to enable
full self-driving by the end of 2017." It doesn't say that the driver will be removed from the seat while the vehicle self-drives. I don't need my car to drive itself without me in it. But with self-driving and a human in the seat overseeing it we will be much safer on the roads. Now can you see the difference between AP1.0 and 2.0 when this happens?
As a parent of three teenagers, my number one fear in this world is that they will die in a motor vehicle accident. This a
real concern of mine because it is backed up by statistics. If we could dramatically prevent cancer with currently available technology do you think the regulators would hold us up?
My only concern is that more people with your mindset make up the regulatory bureaucracy than those with my mindset. If so, they may hold back regulatory approval. That's where my fear lies and not with the technology itself.
