South Africa's big plans for self-driving cars and delivery drones

Transport minister Barbara Creecy says transport will be revolutionised in South Africa over the next decade, which will include using artificial intelligence (AI) for traffic management on the country's roads.

She also said the acceleration of digital technologies in South Africa will see the introduction of autonomous vehicles and drones for delivery.

Self-driving and drone delivery is well set to be the next fusion energy.
Always 10 or 20 years away.

I read the first part, then decided to spend my life on something else.

And we're expected to believe Karen because?

What happened to our high speed trains going to the smart mega cities with free data?

 

[Suspect99]

They need to soften the draconian drone regulations so that small companies can actually use them. The requirements to operate a small drone for business use are ridiculous

This post gave me cancer

 

[Roo!]

Never going to happen! I mean we still aren't allowed to fill our own fuel tanks.

What would be great is if we can actually keep the existing traffic lights working with electricity and basic electronics before embarking on lala land journeys

How about fixing what you destroyed first. I would like to drive on a road without potholes, surfaces that so uneven that feels like the suspension will snap in half.

Barb isn't there to do the basics. She's there to make sure her couch remains stuffed

Its the only stuffing she will ever get.....

 

[ConfusedR]

In Africa, we are not allowed to have nice things. Even traffic lights are being stolen

I'm not sure Cyril wants to stuff her couch though.

I share the view of JW's Pencil:

 

[MrGray]

She may be on to something since it appears the only hope of any intelligence here is going to be the artificial kind.

That's not even a joke seen it happen driving through cities. They cut down the robots not sure what they do with or steal the wires but it's crazy.

They should really ban scrap metal.
