Michio Kaku Quotes

I suck as a driver. I believe all cars should be piloted and driven by machines.

The Jetsons had them in the 1960s. They were the defining element of 'Knight Rider' in the 1980s: cars that drive themselves. Self-driving cars appear in countless science fiction movies. By Hollywood standards, they are so normal we don't even notice them. But in real life, they still don't exist. What if you could buy one today?

Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we should do.

Eventually, all cars are going to be autonomous.

I probably have a very controversial view on autonomous driving versus anybody else in the auto industry. I don't believe that it makes any sense for an automaker to develop autonomous driving.

One of our most promising technologies is Super Cruise, which is the working name for an innovative system coming to Cadillac in the 2016 time frame. It will allow you to drive on the highway without touching the wheel or pedals, both at speed and in stop-and-go driving.

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

There will be a huge, huge positive impact for society when driverless cars become a thing.

The promise of autonomous vehicles is great.

Driverless cars are a great thing.

Our highways and our roads are underutilized because of the allowances we have to make for human drivers.

We hope to get to the place where there are thousands of Peugeot cars on the road running nuTonomy software.

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

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.

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.

I think Tesla will most likely develop its own autopilot system for the car, as I think it should be camera-based, not Lidar-based. However, it is also possible that we do something jointly with Google.

Uber's issue, I think the biggest one is driverless cars. That could be a complete reset to the business.

When you start to automate, you start to do the self-driving thing, you make it much more efficient. When these cars go into self-driving, you start to become a robotics company.

I think we've got a while before regulators and the general public wrap their heads around the path that will lead to the ubiquity of driverless cars. There's no doubt Uber will be a leader in that space.

I'm looking forward to real big advances in autopilot capability. I'm also expecting companies all over the world starting to deploy mapping and experimental cars for taxi services. You'll see a lot more activity around that.

Everything that's transported over ground, whether it's people or parcels, will be impacted by autonomous vehicle technology.
