I mean, basically there are two ways to make someone really comfortable with a machine. HENN: Before we get to the challenges facing the Google car, we thought we'd take a closer look at some of the automated things we take for granted. At Scion, their pure price offer means you don't need to haggle for price when you shop for a Scion car. UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: This episode of PLANET MONEY and the following message are made possible by Scion - proud to support PLANET MONEY, where you can learn about things like the economics of haggling. HENN: And when do we humans decide just to quit worrying and trust something that we can't control? It's about how designers make us comfortable with something that's really scary, like screaming down the highway at 65 with a robot at the wheel.
MINGLE: Right because the big question with automation isn't just about technology or economics. And since we're talking about design today, we thought this would be a great chance to work together. HENN: So Katie is a producer with one of our favorite podcasts - 99% Invisible. But there is this moment - this moment when something new is introduced, when it first becomes automatic that's disorienting. And most of time, we never think about it. Automation is all around us - you know, self-opening doors at the supermarket, elevators, autopilots on airplanes. But if a little drone car pulled up to my house tomorrow and there was no driver inside, no steering wheel, no brakes, would I put my children in it? The statistics, the research say this thing is safe, but it's still scary. And even though this is kind of a low bar, I'm convinced it is a better driver than I am - already. I think I've blown through manual stop signs like that a thousand times.
None of us had seen that stop sign flip around when it happened. HENN: The car startled us it stopped so quickly. HENN: The Google car slammed on its brakes all by itself. And right as we went by, the guy flipped the sign around to read stop.ĬOMPUTER-GENERATED VOICE: Temporary stop sign. It says slow on one side and stop on the other. We were driving through a construction site, and we were going past a guy holding one of those two-sided stop signs. Earlier this summer, I took a ride in Google's self-driving car.ĬOMPUTER-GENERATED VOICE: Pre-planned route.
