America is entirely too capitalist for self driving cars to ever take over en masse
I would argue that this is exactly the reason that self-driving vehicles will take over, and the foothold they'll first gain will be interstate shipping. Truck drivers are going to be the next major American workforce put out of a job by automation

Nothing about Uber surviving made sense to me until i saw it framed as a huge grift to destroy public transportation and replace it with private monopolies
Self driving cars don't have to be implemented in a a fashion with similar ends but if people aren't on their toes in a way that i haven't seen in my lifetime they will be
Man...after Dark Souls and Mon Hun I can't help to think that TW3 combat sucks. But then I feel so bad ass after downing three potions, dodging all around, Axiing that guy, Aarding this other guy (and killing him instantly while he's down) and parrying that other guy while throwing Bombs everywhere.
So, after hearing Vinny talk about it, is he right that Assassin's Creed Origins is Witcher 3 with better combat? I might have to buy that game if it's true.
I'm genuinely worried thst driving yourself will be outlawed at some point in my lifetime
In your lifetime maybe
But like, probably after you no longer drive
Well yeah because he'd have a self-driving car.

The insurance industry is super excited for self-driving cars, because while there are still questions to work out about who is liable in the event of an accident, there will also be so many fewer accidents the more people are removed from the equation. I expect one big driving force behind the switch to more widespread automation will be much cheaper insurance for self-driving cars and much more expensive insurance for manually driven ones. You’ll be allowed to drive yourself, but you’ll pay for the privilege.

Self driving cars will definitely be mandatory one day and it will definitely happen before many people can afford them.
At some point in the future the working poor will have to shell out a bunch of money they don't really have to retrofit their regular vehicles with a self driving system.
Honestly I no longer trust statements like "self driving cars have only been responsible for accidents they were involved in once"
The people doing those studies are the same people with a vested interest in getting them to market, is there any guarantee that forces them to play fair when reaching those results? Because if not then like, it's not even a question, they're fudging the numbers that's what people do

It’s not about fudging numbers, the media is all over any reported accident involving a self-driving car and in every case I’ve seen except one they go for the attention grabbing “Self-driving car in accident” headline and then you read the article and it was someone running into it while it was stopped at a light or something similar”
Newspapers love “technology is scary” stories, if self-driving cars start causing a bunch of accidents that will be all over the front pages

Dan and Abby are the perfect pair to make both Vinny and Alex very uncomfortable. Dan because he doesn't know anything but will ask a question about it, and Abby appears to have no filter/shame. Between all four of them it makes for a pretty great dynamic.

Additionally, you have insurance stuff to deal with in an accident and these cars are basically recording devices on wheels. It's very easy to pull out sensor data as well as what the car was actuvely doing at the time of the accident, and determine fault from there.

No, it's not. It is more like the Witcher than previous ones but it is a shadow of the Witcher in terms of style and character and vibe and voice acting and story and quest design...all that shit Witcher 3 does so well.
As for combat being better, it depends. It's closer to a Souls style but you can still mash it out quite a bit and you've got some tricks up your sleeve but it's not the rpg direction Witcher is. I don't hate W3's combat like the rest of the internet and Origins just kind of felt like Souls-lite.
It's a good game but I didn't go apeshit for it like a lot of others did. Byak is pretty cool, though.
You know what...everyone talks about the Bloody Baron in the Witcher 3. No way, Dijkstra is the man. Holy shit I love whenever that guy shows up. He is a guy I LOVE to hate.

About 40% of the Craigslist jobs in my region are listed under transportation. When automation replaces that industry this area is going to go up in flames.

I think people talk about the Bloody Baron because of the tragedy, not because he's someone you love to hate? Dijkstra is fun though, yeah
Could be...I just checked my hours played an it reads 30 hours. TW3 is a strange game. Just like Skyrim or BOTW you just keep going because the worlds are so good and easy to lose yourself into. But 30 hours is a lot to ask. Even back when I was a teen, a game like Xenogears felt too damn long at hour 60.

Oh, dawg.
Unless you do nothing but main quest missions, you're looking at 70+. Witcher is a long goddamn game. Probably too long, fuck you Dandelion.
I did all main missions, monster hunts, good side quests (not treasure hunts and races and such, the ones with stories) for the main game plus both dlcs and was at probably 120 hours? And that's with constant abuse of the fast travel.
Yeah, self-driving cars mask the real issue for me which is the complete and near-deliberate lack of reliable public transit nationwide
Self-driving cars don't solve infrastructural problems - heck they don't even put a band-aid on them, they just make the band-aid more expensive to fuck over the less well-off even more: insurance costs for people who don't have self-driving cars likely go skyrocketing, there is a continued lack of impetus for govt to invest in public transit (not just buses but subways/light rail/etc), suburban sprawl and white flight continues which in turn contributes to the utter reliance on a personal vehicle, etc etc

Owning a self driving car seems like a bit of a waste. Just tell an app when I want to go and at that time a self driving car shows up and then drives me where I want to go, then while i'm there goes off on its business. Then when I want to go home another self driving car shows up and brings me home then leaves to help other people.
Not yet. But we also don't have fleets of self driving cars.
By the time we do we'll probably have better GPS.

I do wonder how Google, Amazon etc.. are going to solve the pissed off trucker problem. There are going to be a lot of people with no job and an axe to grind looking to fuck up some self driving trucks.

Honestly I think the cops would probably just look the other way in a lot of cases. As has been said, automation will tear a lot of communities apart. People aren't gonna be happy.

The MTA is the worst and I would rather have a daily root canal than a daily commute with them
Unfortunately I have the latter
Same in boston. Driving, and finding a place to park, is such a horrible experience, even if the T is hardly an improvement.
