Near the Greenfield GE is the best part of the neighborhood to live in, IMO.

Id rather my kid sit in front of the TV shooting other people in a video game than blowing his junk off jumping over a fire with explosives strapped to his belt.
Just me I guess.

Autonomous driving has been oversold as a viable path. You’d need super high reliability to have an acceptable accident rate given the trillions of miles collectively driven every year.

So they do have level 3? Which is very autonomous. So level 4 and 5 are coming.

Who says it needs to be “fully” autonomous? I’m sure plenty people who have long highway commutes would still benefit, same with truckers.

Mercedes new car is not autonomous at all. Under certain conditions the driver may remove their hands and feet from controlling the car. It’s called “level 3”, and is basically only able to be used on freeways.
The technology isn’t there and doesn’t work. If it did, we’d have car rolling around that have no one inside of them.
There has been minimal growth in the past half decade.

You don’t think autonomous driving tech has improved? Mercedes has a vehicle that takes full responsibility if an accident happens. It’s coming

I am an old yinzer who has lived here since 1978. I live near the Greenfield GE. The bus transportation is great to downtown, Oakland and Point Breeze. It is walkable to Squirrel Hill. The city pool is nice and a season pass is cheap. The housing stock is mixed but the price will reflect the condition. Raised two children here.

No, making yourself sterile is also an option, as long as you remove yourself from the gene pool. Emphasis on "pelvic area".

After $100 billion spent, the technology has hardly improved.
For them to work on a mass scale, the infrastructure in this country needs to be updated to remove inefficiencies and non-standardized vehicle pathways.
Pittsburgh is a prime example of this, we have so many fucked up intersections.
The government has no incentive to fix these, because they’re not a problem for human drivers.
By the time the government would ever spend time and effort, humanity will have probably killed itself off.
We’re never going to get a fully autonomous vehicle society.

The story is about a shitty cop who got drunk and was caught sleeping on the job and the first thing that comes to your mind is "I'm glad he's safe."
Wow.
Also, I hope your son also installed CO monitors in your garages, too, because those carbon dioxide monitors aren't gonna save your life.

You're not responding to a single point in the OP's post.
Level 3 is not autonomous, it's basically highway driver assist.
The technology does not work and the people in this sub who were saying a decade ago that self-driving cars would rule the streets by 2020 were wrong.
