Brad Stone Quotes

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.

From a technology and economic perspective, it's vastly more likely that autonomy will be used for mobility services.

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.

If Uber wants to catch up to Google and be the leader in autonomy, we have to have the best minds. We have to have all the great minds.

Google was the right place to pioneer robot cars.

In the future, we'll be working and relaxing in cars.

I have one of the self-driving Teslas; it drives itself periodically. It's a marvel of science, but it's still frightening. 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.

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

The age of access being offered by taxi-hailing apps like Uber and Ola is the biggest potential threat to auto industry.

Driverless cars are a great thing.

Mobile is the perfect example of what is enabling economic growth in the technology sector.

As technology continues to increase our possibilities, what we're seeing is a shrinking of the lag time between what we dream about and what we create.

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

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?

Even as a college professor at Carnegie Mellon and Stanford, I saw myself as an entrepreneur, and I went out, took risks, and tried to invent new things, such as participating in the DARPA Grand Challenge and working on self-driving 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.

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

Technology is such a broad kind of term, it really applies to so many things, from the electric light to running cars on oil. All of these different things can be called technology. I have kind of a love-hate relationship with it, as I expect most people do. With the computer, I spend so many hours sitting in front of a computer.

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

Google's founders have had a good eye for imagining what technologies will be significant in the near future. No one asked Google to develop self-driving cars, but it helped them with street views for Google Maps.

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.

Self-driving cars will enable car-sharing even in spread-out suburbs. A car will come to you just when you need it. And when you are done with it, the car will just drive away, so you won't even have to look for parking.

Eventually, all cars are going to be autonomous.

Restrictions on mobility will be removed as cars become driverless. We'll be chauffeured, basically.
