Karl Iagnemma Quotes

My opinion is it's a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous cars.

Your car should drive itself. It's amazing to me that we let humans drive cars... It's a bug that cars were invented before computers.

People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better. Any time you stand in line at the D.M.V. and look around, you're like, Oh, my God, I wish all these people were replaced by computer drivers.

It's a no-brainer for me that at some point our cars will have the ability to drive themselves.

We're going to look back and wonder why we had to micro-control our cars.

Eventually, all cars are going to be autonomous.

I'm a firm believer that autonomous driving is coming.

The implementation of autonomous driving needs a whole new rethinking. To really make it an attribute for society, we really need to think differently about where and when and how we implement this.

The promise of autonomous vehicles is great.

When you think of driverless cars, there's a huge potential for these cars to save lives by preventing accidents and by reducing congestion on highways.

We can't simply dismiss the idea that autonomous vehicles are going to be a big part of our transportation system.

I think it's very clear now that we will have self-driving cars.

The energy that's going into autonomous vehicles is very significant, and we expect to continue to invest there.

Any time you stand in line at the D.M.V. and look around, you're like, Oh, my God, I wish all these people were replaced by computer drivers.

I like the word 'autopilot' more than I like the word 'self-driving.' 'Self-driving' sounds like it's going to do something you don't want it to do. 'Autopilot' is a good thing to have in planes, and we should have it in cars.

Some Google employees have their self-driving vehicles take them to work. These car robots don't look like something from 'The Jetsons'; the driverless features on these cars are a bunch of sensors, wires, and software. This technology 'works.'

I have been spending the better part of my professional life trying to create self-driving cars. At Google, I am working with a world-class team of engineers to turn science fiction into reality.

When we try to make a car that drives itself, we believe - whether we're right or not - we believe that there would be strong net positive benefit to the world if cars could drive themselves safer than people could.

You can make the assumption that most human drivers are not out to kill pedestrians. Well, maybe in some parts of Boston they are. But with a person at the wheel who you can see, you behave accordingly. With the robotic car, how do you know what assumption to make?

Google is working on self-driving cars, and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better. Any time you stand in line at the DMV and look around, you're like, 'Oh, my God, I wish all these people were replaced by computer drivers.'

Driverless cars are coming to your street - the only question is, 'When?'

We're doing a lot of work on self-driving cars. We do not currently have cars in the U.S., but we plan to, for development and testing. I think we are within striking distance of making self-driving cars a reality, and these would be powered by deep learning.

The self-driving car revolution was kicked off by The 'DARPA' Grand Challenge to make an autonomous car traverse 132 mi. of a desert.

Google was the right place to pioneer robot cars.

It's important for automated cars to be able to drive in a human-like fashion - and that does mean adapting to the driving patterns around you.
