What it’s like to ride in a self-driving Lyft

sudshr47 January 8, 2018

Riding in a self-driving Lyft car is way more boring than you’d expect. But that’s really the point.

The ride, which I took on the streets of Las Vegas at the outset of CES 2018, was only remarkable in how mundane it was. Turns, lane changes, braking for red lights, accelerating for green — it was all pretty much the same as if a human were doing the driving. Well, if it weren’t for the display on the dash showing a LiDAR-constructed view of the streets around us, and the robotic female voice that would occasionally chime in with a “lane change checking” or some other status update.

This wild-looking electric SUV concept has way more tech than anyone needs

Today, Chinese EV startup Byton unveiled its electric SUV concept, a wannabe Tesla killer that’s crammed full of so much tech it would make Elon Musk’s head spin.

Seriously. The vehicle, which will allegedly make its official debut sometime in 2019 and will start at $45,000, is overflowing with so many displays and tech industry buzzwords it’s hard to know where to begin.

For starters, it has a total of four — yes, four — different displays, including 49-inch monstrosity that stretches across the entire dash and a smaller panel built right into the steering wheel. Two more tablets sit behind the driver’s seat and passenger headrest for the rear passengers. Read more…

When fully autonomous vehicles finally hit the road, they’ll turn everyone into a passenger. As such, we’ll need something to do in order to pass the time while we’re riding in our vehicles.

Luckily, Intel and Warner Bros. are here to help.
