Technology Run Amok – Runaway Self Drivers, Idiots Behind The Wheel And No Way Out When You Need It

1. It seems pretty clear that you haven’t driven an EV…. I’d suggest you drive one, or talk to someone in person that actually owns one.

2. i wouldnt ever use self driving.. womt ever own a car that a computer could control.. even if i have to build my own..

3. When he was young, the old people also complained like this.

4. i walk to fat people and say have you heard of carnivoire diet,

5. Stanley Myers car ran from CA to NJ on 22 gallons of water- browns gas. Poisoned dead. Tom Ogels car got 100miles to the gallon. Shot dead. The Solar Pulse Flew from California to Kennedy Airport,- media silence. You want to think its incompetence, but its not, it's deliberate. Corporate has an obvious nefarious agenda obviously.

6. My son is one his second Tesla! Other than the acceleration, I'm not impressed! Plan trips around charging stations! We leave these overpriced, over powered gold carts to the idiots on the left coast! 😂😂😂

7. I helped a stranded motorist in the middle of the highway with a jumpstart. The battery was so dead that it would not jump start. It was in the middle of the road so we decided to push the the vehicle to the shoulder. I asked the owner to put the car in neutral. No dice because it is all electronic to get the car out of park. I had to jump the battery just so that the owner could get the car in neutral.🙄

8. Reminds me of the old guy dying in his GM car in an Arizona garage years ago. It was a Caddy or Vette.
   I personally have been trapped on aerial equipment with the emergency lowering devices on the ground controls. Last time was at 40' when a load sensor tripped. The machine locked out and we had to instruct a bystander open a prop valve to get down which could have gone really bad.

9. Spot On Tony ! This bright new future is no future for Me and I made the transition from carb to electronic fuel injection……scary stuff these EVs…..

10. Bless you brother.

11. Heavy equipment has a shut down switch, easy. Big red knob.

12. Said it was a blueprint when i first saw it.

13. I agree totally with you, only i have to say i do have something against evs. Its not so much the vehicle itself, it's all the fricken propaganda and twisting and turning and subsidizing and hiding what we got going on here, makes me sick! EVs are powered by electric power plants using varying kinds of fuel, yes, some wind, solar, water, but there is polution with all of it, it's just a transfer of pollution. Whenever you transform one form of power to another you also lose some of that energy. Our grid cannot handle what we got going on now, i'e' brownouts during hot weather etc., add a few million cars to that grid! Also, while the EV may be great for some areas-circumstances, for others it is unworkable. High population areas may be where they are best suited, yet at the worst disadvantage for charging and extended charging times. Rural areas that require more miles arn't real good, trips where we don't know where the stations may be arn't good, price isn't good. How about when gas cars are phased out and we have all evs, little 18 year old Billy who comes from a lower middle class family starts his work career and needs a car, all that is available in his price range is en ev with failing batteries, worthless! he can't buy a $60,000 car! he's on public transportation, if that is available. The time is not ready for evs, not as a replacement, maybe in a niche, and to be honest, the ev may never suit our needs as our reliable gas burners!

14. The drivers of those runaway cars should have popped them in neutral, oh wait there's no neutral.

15. EVs are trash 😂

16. Anyone who's ever played a video game (like Skyrim) knows all about how bad software developers are at 'the little things'. Clipping is of course one of the most pervasive and ubiquitous issues throughout the entire industry. Those same people, who got into coding because they didnt want to do real work, are now programming your self driving cars. Clipping issues take on a whole new meaning at 80mph.

17. and i thought onstar was sketchy… the coming ability to lock you in your vehicle if you are designated an undesirable or something… drive you wherever they want, and whatever. now, let's add the ability for the system to just go haywire and drive you into whatever is up the road after you hit a buck twenty. nope… i see what happens to simple electronics on a daily basis. normal ic vehicles controlled by electronics, and built by the cheapest bidder. they need aircraft redundancies, and nowhere close to it. and that's not even getting to the risk of fire, and how bad those fires are when they happen.

18. Tony I have thought for years that until self driving can beat human drivers at nascar races every time without any trouble (like ibm Watson winning jeopardy every time) the technology is not ready. You have pointed out to me a fool proof shutdown system is also needed in this video.

19. How stupid do you have to be to put your life in someone else's hands? They can turn your car off, on, make it turn, not turn by itself. Screw that. I've rented a car that fought me driving the whole time. It didn't want me to turn, switch lanes, and a bunch of other stuff. Now make that times everybody who is driving and have that happen. Screw that.

20. You complain about the guy sleeping while the car drives itself? If it didn't, he would have fallen asleep and already crashed. You think self driving cars are bad? Just go down near a senior citizen's area, or watch the moron folks who are texting, taking their eyes off the road to talk to someone in the back seat, doing their makeup, reading a newspaper, etc.. Yes, there will be malfunctions; but of course, there will be problems with all sorts of tech. People hated washing machines, auto reverse tape decks, etc.. Because some new tech doesn't work perfectly, I suppose we should just cancel all inventing, right? Nothing is perfect. Deadly accidents have been happening to HUMAN driven cars forever. As tech gets better, there will be fewer accidents, especially since human drivers have already demonstrated that they will disregard safe driving routinely. Just because YOU are better than average, doesn't mean all people are.

21. Yes doors automatically lock and everything

22. People are brain-damaged. They shouldn't be allowed to have a license and do. This s***, an engineer shouldn't be allowed to build vehicles and produce this s***, that's my own opinion.

23. Shit I like my vehicle's brain damaged

24. I can't even get into the EV Cars it's so stupit's ridiculous it's beyond it

25. We seem to be experimenting some techmological differences.

26. I'm probably in a tiny minority that thinks we should be able to buy KEI Cars to save fuel vs complex over priced EVs. A fully manual car, windows, transmission, steering; the only amenities AC and a Radio. Low weight, small displacement and you're going to get high MPGs.

27. I've got a 2012 diesel Hyundai in the shop with a dead battery. I can't open anything to get to the dead fuel pump under the seat. Stuff it if I'm going to twist myself into a pretzel to get to the fuel pump. I managed to get into it and pop the bonnet to take the battery out to charge it, but I can only imagine what will happen to people stuck inside in an accident, malfunction or fire. This is a disgrace! Nothing else will open except for the driver door and that's only from outside with the key blank

28. I'm not even against the forced EVs, just the unreliable technology. You can't buy a basic car anymore. I would actually like being energy independent and realize it isn't synonymous w/cheap energy, but having a touchscreen to control the entire car is just ridiculous and drives up costs of repairs and lowers reliability. Our infrastructure doesn't even have a universal plug to charge these things.

29. Control and seams on purpose!

30. The door latch thing isn't just EVs. It started over a decade ago, first on trunks, and then the sliding doors on minivans, that closes themselves. Noticed how smoothly they close? How could they close and stay shut without being even slightly slammed shut? Exactly. Same exact thing. It's also starting to appear on passenger doors as well on ordinary gas powered cars. It's not just EVs.

31. The governments want it this way so they can assassinate people or hunt them down with the doors locked to interrogate them.. brave new world stuff

32. I was wondering if you can open the door or window if your EV battery is dead. Now I know.👍👍

33. The pinto was smeared because it could catch fire but you could still get out of one if it did
