Cruise Automation CEO Kyle Vogt said GM’s self-driving vehicle generations lapse at a lightning pace, and he wasn’t kidding. GM CEO Mary Barra recently commented on the automaker’s self-driving car business and said its fourth-generation self-driving car is coming very soon.
The third-generation car, based on the Chevrolet Bolt EV, includes many of the redundancies required to ensure safe operation without a driver behind the wheel. Â “We believe it will meet the redundancy and safety requirements necessary to operate without a driver. It is our third generation of AV technology in just 14 months,” Barra said, reported by Business Insider.
When questioned on the future of its self-driving car programs, Barra added, “we’re working on our fourth generation, that’s where our focus is right now.”
GM consistently says it will deploy self-driving cars sooner rather than later, and it’s a phrase investors quite like. GM stock prices rallied to new records recently on what appears to be a widening gap: GM’s self-driving car prowess versus the industry.

A wise investment by GM.
Johnny Cab coming to a rank near you! [Only movie buffs will get the reference 🙂 ]
It will be the “cab” without the “Johnny” talking head.
Two Huuuge problems with existing Self Driving Tech direction:
1. Electric Cars….so….Lots of cancer causing EMF…
2. Technology relies on Radar…so….more EMF….although orders of magnitude less than powerful electric motors.
I get banned a lot, and not for profanity or homophobia. Let me give you an example of what a site like Electrek will ban almost immediately:
(this is months old…so real old news)
” I don’t know why we ignore the truth. Take EMF for example….thelonger we ignore its effects on our brains and health, the more people and children will suffer and die….and the longer it will take us to design around it.
It’s the same thing with North Korea. The only peaceful solution is to accept the truth. Everyone involved knows that NK is just an arm of the Chinese Army. Everyone knows that NK has nukes only because of China. Everyone knows that China is using NK as leverage to get all that oil and gas from the South China Sea…enough to fuel all of China 100% for two centuries.
So, lets accept this truth. Lets arm Japan and South Korea to the teeth. And lets point all the missiles at China. Finally, lets buy a thousand of those beautiful bulletproof RD-180s from Russia and strap a MOAB to each one and set the GPS path to China. That’s the peaceful solution…”China…we know Kim can’t fart without your permission….we know he got all his nukes thanks to you….YOU OWN HIM AND YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTIONS….AND ANY AGGRESSION FROM NK WILL RESULT IN 1000 MOABS LANDING IN CHINA….FOR STARTERS…..and oh yeah….if you don’t get your forces out of the South China Sea by the end of the year….we will seize all your assets….everywhere…..oh and one more thing….we recommend you change the wording of your contract with Russia for oil and gas by increasing the amounts ten fold, because the world will not let you steal Oil and Gas from the South China Sea….especially when you threaten everyone with NK….or you could just go solar…” Thst’s the peaceful solution….no need to fire a single shot.
See…the truth shall set you free. Lets accept the truth about the harmful health effects of EMF and start designing things around this unavoidable truth….better sell your TESLA stock.”
By the way….I’m the guy that keeps blocking TESLA in states like Utah and Connecticut…and Texas…and Alabama.
Finally, that stunt China pulled a week ago was pathetic. Never send a woman to do a man’s job…she will just spill the poison. I do miss all the other intimidators….did something happen since last Nov 8?
Oh yeah….One more thing….as much as China would love to assimilate the USA (which is what the Illuminati want), the real treasure for China would be Russia.
So, how could China weaken Russia? The same way China is weakening the USA….vaccines. Illuminati’s pet hell-poodle Obama (his hands and nails are too soft to call him a hell hound….now Michelle on the other hand…) has allowed the WHO to allow China to sell its vaccines all over the world…and there is nothing preventing Chins from tainting these with some elixir that we’re not checking for.
So, to my friends in Russia….There is no limit to the evil that China is willing to do in order to satisfy it’s lust for world domination. DO NOT INJECT YOUR CHILDREN WITH ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA.
And China…..please send a man next time. I could never hit a woman.

This weekend I went to a cancer event for a friend. And I prayed for her. I hope God listened to my prayers….I really do.
As to all the non-believers….I WILL DESTROY YOUR ARGUMENTS AND POSTULATES.
Clearly, this site is popular with liberals who love the Chinese.

This is a demonstration of GM CEO Mary Barra’s leadership and given that this is the next direction for the auto industry with autonomous vehicles, it was the right gamble to take; Cadillac’s super cruise is the first commercial application of the technology which will be followed as an option available to other vehicles in the fleet before full autonomous vehicles arrive within 5 years.

So Dwayne Johnson and Tom Hanks want to be the Democratic Party nominees for 2020. Awww…how cute.
Dwayne….you’ve got no faith. All you’ve got is steroids. I have never taken any. You think you can take me? I don’t think so. My pythons are bigger than yours….and so are my balls….That’s the side effect of you taking steroids.
Tom…you have no shot. I’m only worried about Dwayne. A pro’abortion Mormon is…well…one in a trillion.
Alex Luft/Mods; speaking of destroying – can you destroy/remove ^ this account.
Last time I looked this is (or was) an automotive blog site not an internet-evangelist nutjob blog.
sincerely and cheers
So you don’t think discussing the health effects of long term exposure to EMF has a place in the comments section of electrified vehicles loaded with radar?
You just don’t have a valid counter….means you can’t think rationally.
Kopernicus was a man of faith….everyone thought he was a nut job…..”hey everyone….look at the Catholic trying to fool us into thinking the Earth goes around the Sun”
That’s the problem with socialists….among many other problems….they just hate freedom of speech.
You’re just upset that President Trump is going to make opioids more difficult for you to obtain, fleetman….and he’s going to stop the flow of drugs and cheap prostitutes from Mexico.
Anyway, the only thing I’m after is a warning label that will inform parents that driving their children in electric vehicles is neither healthy nor green….and I promised the left that I will destroy anything that is precious to them if I don’t get my warning label.
So, in the case of Dwayne Johnson, I will destroy his chances of becoming President (unless of course he runs on a Republican ticket and agenda….But that ain’t ever going to happen)….and then there is that thing U promised to do with the Oscar statuette that he worships, so he may feel some discomfort and itching as a result….
