Message: [QUOTE="LMSCorvetteGT2, post: 12271661, member: 184054"] As I said, they rendered an LC500 and used a Ford fusion. You're original posts sounds as if Nvidia tried to render a LC500 and instead were only able to get a Ford Fusion from that attempt, rather than a Ford Fusion was the real life catalyst driven by the rendered LC500. Your quote just in case... "NVDIA rendered a LC500 and out came a Ford Fusion" Most likely due to costs measures. And perhaps as well due to Ford autonomous cars too, however seems strange considering Toyota has autonomous technology just as good if not better. They probably rendered a Lexus to show something exciting, and also because of the black panther promoting as well. I'm sure Nvidia could afford a fleet of LC500, but if they're just trying to do a showcase on a future tech advancement and the people saying how much they could spend on said showcase made it only feasible for what was seen. Then that is a reality. I know you said that, which is why I acknowledged it and extended further by showing said cases of hacking just to refresh that thought, and for other people who read these threads. How can they not? People have shown how to take control of a vehicle with a cell phone, laptop and so on, using a VR set isn't a massive leap. At least I'm not seeing how it is from this explanation. We don't know how Nvidia is exactly doing it, the rendering isn't difficult for them, but the program to autonomously drive a car, and link it to a remote system specific to the Nvidia setup seems difficult. So let's say in this hypothetical (long off) future that someone wants to "hack" a car, they'd have to do so using a setup specific to this group. Thus knowing which cars use it, seems hit and miss. I myself doing engineering, I'm well aware of technology and being always aware of where it can go next, I'm currently preparing to learn and work on autonomous aircraft. However, I wouldn't think people should be too paranoid, especially when there are always updates, safety measures and increasing laws to help protect normal people from those who could potentially harm. However, it shouldn't be the first thought to fear what could happen if that was the case then why advance at all? From experience in what I do, I would say that vulnerabilities and potential issues are at the forefront, but you don't know what could go wrong until you actually build a prototype and test it. Simple engineering method at work. They want it widespread so they can learn from others and themselves. The idea that the people building and advancing technology is not a checked and balanced system to the point people as yourself are paranoid, is far more silly. Trend or not that isn't something that the people building this stuff tend to care about, that is marketing. Exactly, the idea of Autonomous cars themselves must be solved first. Solving means testing and development, which is a lot of trial and error. So people doing this are thinking of various issues with this. [/QUOTE]
