Its funny because in the US, there are regulations that make it such that, even if they have the capability to close the doors remotely and anti pinch sensors etc, they are not allowed to unless it is done by someone from a device nearby while they hold down the close button.
Oooooo interesting! Is ilthe reasoning the possible accidents?
The reasoning is because of incompetent government
New rule, if you order one - fail to close the doors properly.
is there no saving this timeline?
The future is clocking in for another 12 hour shift at the "making minor adjustments to the super intelligent AI dick sucking factory" so you can afford to eat the bugs and live in the pod
self driving cars
Top notch, very latest, highest technology, aren't they?
LMAO!!
Just accelerate at full power and the doors will close themselves, duh.
Move fast and break things!
Or reverse slightly and stop…
Can't the car just back up half a meter then quickly go forward half a meter?
Now I'm imagining the car shaking off like a wet dog to shut its doors.

So what's the point if a future car can't close itself?
The US has serious FUD w regards to self driving vehicles and legal issues are in the way. Obviously the car could be built to do this safely but there are laws that prohibit this. Remember this is the same country that has reintroduced measles to the masses out of uneducated fear of vaccines.
Of course it is.
Elon's robots can close the doors.
And lock them, then self immolate
Humans are dumb. I mean humans can do awesome super intelligent things, but the average human is a dumb piece of shit.
Humans know how to close a car door.
This, along with the story of the driverless car running over a beloved neighborhood cat, highlight the fundamental problem here: they’re training these systems to be autonomous cars - and they’re impressively close - but they’re still miles away from creating a simulation of an autonomous human. Not everything about operating a car is driving it.
Obviously they don't.
but they don't give a fuck and just walk away.
Or they're in a hurry and didn't realize the door was ajar when they left the vehicle.
Pretty normal for this to happen at the airport, especially when you're carrying a bunch of bags, juggling kids, etc. Normally, its not a big deal, because the cabbie will pop out and close the door if they get the alert. But here, there's no remote way to close the door and no way to signal the rider that it didn't close completely.
I didn't imply the human didn't know how to close a car door. I am saying the human is dumb for specifically choosing to be a piece of shit for NOT closing the car door.
I'm speaking strictly on the nefarious side of things because I can't understand simply "forgetting" to close a car door... but that again circles back to the dumb part of the human brain.
In "choosing to be a piece of shit" they put $11.25 in a door dasher's pocket. That's probably enough for like one taco in San Francisco, but still.. They gave a dasher a taco.
Yeah, the humans are the problem here and not the unregulated, self-autonomous robo taxi.
self-autonomous
Just autonomous...the "self" is included in the definition of autonomous already.
👍

Depending on what I'm doing, I periodically have to double back and re-close a door if I didn't close it hard enough. Modern cars have built in alarms specifically to alert drivers when a door latch isn't secured. You don't have to be a piece of shit to fail to notice that a door is ajar.
