I mean, it's badass that the technology is progressing to be able to handle a situation such as off-roading, but it seems like it's just removing all of the fun?

For on-road autonomous driving, I definitely see the value - driving home from a long road trip, for instance, it'd be nice to be able to punch in my home address and then take a nap.

But for off-roading? Not sure I see the value/draw.

At the end of the video they put, "The adventure never ends" but yes, yes it does when all the fun and challenges are done 100% for you.

Not badass at all... it's straight up lame IMO. What fun is that, you'd be better off going to an amusement park. I get it on road but off road... seriously? I'm guessing there will be a few soccer moms who will get bragging rights at the next PTA meeting when they go "off-roading" with these "Jeeps".
This is so dumb I can't find any more words to say how dumb it is.

Also right before that the tester is outside watching the Jeep drive itself over some rocks. Is that the idea? You get out while the Jeep does all the fun stuff and then you get back in? ?

So now they made a Jeep that can go out and break itself? ?

Well that just takes the fun out of it!

No, it's awesome really. Not for what they are showing here but this is amazing for rescue operations, military applications and things like that. Lots of potential.

I don’t see how this would be benificial. I guess it’s good that the system can identify certain “hazards” that the human eye might not spot in time. But yeah. Nobody is gonna go wheeling in autonomous mode.
I guess though… imagine you’re out wheeling and something bad happens to you to where you’re unable to drive. Your jeep can drive you back to civilization. That’s kind of a cool option?

Right. This way you don’t have to stop and get out of the Jeep to take photos. You just stand out there camera in hand... ?

If you want an autonomous driving mode that can get itself unstuck, that will be extra.

And the dealer won’t know how to fix it when it breaks...

Uld see some application in the military.

I recognize a couple of those trails, Backwards Bill and Sevenmile. Those are easy trails, though Wipeout Hill is a significant obstacle between them. Looks like they are early on in this tech, it'll be a while before we see a stock Grand Cherokee on Pritchett Canyon all by itself. I, for one, welcome my new computer overlords.

"I swear the thing was in autonomous mode while I was flying through those dunes, you guys need to warranty my front axle!"
