Now imagine you missed a payment on your car note and your self driven car repossess itself from your home and drives to the dealership.
Then the buyer is too broke and can't afford the car they have to borrow money

Not a sentence.
Absolutely you can also be hacked and now function and there will be no one to blame
You won't own the car.
@@blackdiamond306 Has Tesla been hacked yet? they do literally everything over the air, even complete software updates. And they've been doing it for over 10 years this way. The summon function is nearly as old (shown here by Merc as being 'new'). Tesla is lightyears ahead on all of them.
Fun to see these moments in time and how poorly some statements have aged. Tesla found their footing and took off like a rocket. Lutz failed to get GM on the right track and GM continues to struggle. In 2025, would love to see 60 minutes revisit many of these people. Obviously, some are no longer alive. The one expert said 2025 is an important year. Let us see.
As I agree Lutz statements has aged poorly. GM are in better position than it was back then. Tesla is number one while everyone else is battling for 2nd place.
WHATS FUN ABOUT IT?!
How is GM struggling? GM is ranked 4th in revenue, way ahead of Tesla who isn't even in the top ten. Just because Tesla's got a big market cap doesn't make it the most successful automotive company.
@@broses GM saw sales in China drop by 25%. They have struggled with EV production, both the Lyriq and Hunmer EV. Software issues bricking the Lyriq and Hummer.
Their management of the Bolt battery recall has been mixed at best. Barra had claimed the would have dozens of EVs in production in 2022, nope. Good chance they will not in 2024 or 2025.
The ICE factories will become a liability quickly as market shifts from EV to ICE. GM announced dumping more money into ICE R&D, which is insane at this point.
They face some serious economic challenges trying to make the switch. ICE parts will go up in price as volume declines. Economies of scale will shift to against them for all ICE products.
I doubt their Mexico EV factory lines are on schedule. I suspect more delays coming from them. GM also carries a large chunk of debt. VW and Toyota are in more debt, but all of it is going to be a challenge to deal with.
@@broses GM is shrinking. They produced over 3 million cars in 2016 and have produced fewer and fewer cars every year since. Last year they fell short of 2.3 million.
Their total overall production on all their electric vehicles is less than what Tesla makes every quarter now!
This year Tesla will make 1.8 million EVs and GM is "targeting" .15 million this year. So Tesla will make 10 cars to 1 if GM meets it's target. But GM has been missing it's EV targets for a decade. Anyone see the "dozen" EV models in 2020? Yeah, me either
Parking assist, Accident prevention, warning you of cars in your blind spot, cruise control with automatic lane stay and speed control, it’s just so convenient to drive now with these features. Super helpful.
Never driven a car with any of those, hope they all still work after 20 years because thats about how old cars have to be before i can afford one lol
People will simply use the feature that allows you to turn off these features. Or simply wont turn them on at all.
What about oversized vehicles and motorbikes?
lmao i turn all of those off. i can do all that and faster without need of technology.
Of all those you mention, cruise control is fine for me.
I quite often drive at 80mph without any assistance, in a knackered old vauxhall nova, its great fun
Mr. Dunn predicted China would be able to make 5 million EV cars in 2025. But this has been achieved in 2022. And the subsidies have generally stopped and the car market is a free market.
Because there are is charging absolutely everywhere. I have seen new highway, with new resting place. The new gas station had just one pile, but the charging station had 12.
I test drove the new BMW i3 and the EQE both out of Chinese factories. Could not convince me because of range or acceleration, or self driving features.
So I kept looking and also drove the Zeekr 001. The Zeekr 001 is way ahead. The self driving (mobileye most advanced system) is better, the space is better, the luxury feel is same, the battery has up to 140 kWh (new CATL battery) for up to 600 miles of range. The platform is 800V super fast charging. The performance is excellent like my Porsche Taycan 4S+. So I have ordered one to replace my MS90D junk!
@@cyberslim7955 The progress made by brands like Zeekr is really fast. They went great length to please customers and have the capability to deliver thanks to the whole supply chain.
Imagine you haven’t pay your packing ticket, you have a warrant, you behind on child support and the car says, well I’m gonna take you to the nearest police station 😂😂😂😂😂
And what if its controlled by politicians who decide if your guilty
@@firebir11 😩😩😩😩😩 I ain’t buying them
How do you afford a car when you're so in debt and threatened with jail time?
I’m just back from a short trip to China. There EV cars look amazing. Sitting in one and looking at the features they look like ultra high end vehicles.
that EV car was mined by slaves
China EVS are junk
Why they talking about these trash cars not Tesla
Tesla is 20 years ahead of these cars
@@UncleTonyshotsauce I can assure you out of the 90 Chinese EV manufacturers there are - about a dozen are at or above Tesla level.
DANG, Lutz called it like a pro. GM just kept dropping the ball.
So funny watching this. I worked in this studio at one point. I remember Bob very frustrated about Tesla when he realized the Model S was coming with a 300 plus range and him saying, " With all our engineers, how is it a small company can do what we can't". Pretty much an exact quote. That being said, there was nobody better then Bob. Amazing, amazing guy. By the way Tesla stock at that time was about $4 a share.
Tesla will eventually return from the stratosphere to the $10/share where it belongs. The hype machine made tons of millionaires. Hopefully they'll abandon ship when common sense starts creeping back into the valuations
60 min host looks like a muppet
@@yourlogicalnightmare1014 Safest cars on the planet. Less likely to get into an accident and when it does the most likely to survive in a crash. Seriously under valued right now.
@@victorluke5816
Ford has been around over 100 years, sold more than 350 million cars, and is valued at a fraction of Tesla. What you're seeing is obscene levels of hype.
FSD may never happen, in which case Tesla will owe a fortune in refunds.
The Cybertruck is not producible without the 4680 batteries, which were only fantasy when Elon announced them, and which still do not have the chemistry worked out to match the performance claims at announcement, nor do the 4680 have volume production worked out.
@@yourlogicalnightmare1014 Ford is losing $10K dollars per Mach E while Tesla is making $10K per Model Y after 6 discounts on the price this year. The Model Y is cheaper than the Mach E. Its also faster, longer ranged, and safer than the Mach E. The reason that the valuation is obscene is that its advantage over Ford is obscene.
FSD as it exists is the safest driver on the road as is. 8x more likely to make it to your destination than without it. Level 4 looks like its achievable late this year or early in 2024. FSD today is better than it was yesterday. Its going to be better next week as well.
Cybertruck is due September 2023. Expected production is 50K this year. 2 electric Hummers were made last year which was their first year of production.
I worked all nighters near a hospital. Nurses would get off their all night shift and driving home fall asleep at the wheel in front of our plant and get seriously injured or killed. Accident prevention is so welcome these days.
🏁Tesla model Y will be the most sold carmodel on planet Earth in year 2023, and year 2024 🏁
Stupid fanboy or paid by EM idiot? T is junk! I test drove the new BMW i3 and the EQE both out of Chinese factories. Could not convince me because of range or acceleration, or self driving features.

You'd better read the recent news, that's all dramatically changed now.
please search aito M7 or aito M9
Thanks for the re-watch. I bought a 2011 Volt new in March 2011 and over 12 years later it’s still my daily driver. It’s a little worn around the edges but still on its original high voltage battery and I drive it almost every day. Technically the volt did go on sale in 2010 the last week of December.
The Volt is still the best idea for where we are right now.
Of course, it's discontinued.
How many miles will the Volt drive on battery only? Like 30 miles?
That's still enough for most people.
Can still go to a funeral 500 miles away.
the VOLT is a crappy ICE car that has a Vibrator size battery .
TESLA is a REAL car , and BETTER than every ICE/Hybrid on the road.
@@TheBandit7613 Yep, I have a Gen 2 and its EV range is enough for >90 % of my driving, just the rare road trip is where I use the range extender. Never had a problem with it and even with all the cycles on the battery it still has >95% capacity at almost 150k km on the battery (less than 10 k km on the range extender). The Volt was proof that most folks who could charge at home or work didn't need to hoard batteries the way pure BEVs do, especially since how resources are so limited and wait lists are so long right now. The only real downside was that the vehicle was small when most folks want SUVs and CUVs these days, and then the early adopters wanted to make a political statement with buying pure BEVs.
@@anydaynow01 I think I'm going to look for a Volt. What years are the best?
Any advice?
Volt has been taken off the market. It caught on fire
Notice they said nothing about Teslas self driving capabilities! They’re doing it the best right now despite hiccups. They been doing it for the longest time so far! Tesla is so far ahead of everybody it’s laughable to see these companies playing catch-up! The hate is real!!!!
... The automatic driving in China has long been realized
Except for the part where they talked about Tesla making highway driving available.
@@michelangelobuonarroti916
Yes, Tesla got a 5 second mention, while Mercedes got a 10 minute dedication. Sounds reasonable.
Ya I have a 2023 model x with FSD.....people's perception of teslas FSD is vastly misunderstood....partly due to lack of experience with it and partly due to hate against Elon resulting in immense misinformation. My model x can drive me from San Diego to Glendale (150 mile drive) through SoCal rush hour traffic, open freeways, streets, small roads, highways, and residential streets....from doorstep to doorstep....without breaking a sweat. It's not perfect and I'm always watching and ready to step in because every once in a while a situation will arise that it needs my intervention but that is getting rarer and rarer with every update.
Also, another source of confusion is that most people, even Tesla owners, don't understand the difference between Autopilot and FSD. All teslas now come with autopilot and it can do a lot...so much so that many people think that is FSD...but then when they find it struggling on the streets, entering or exiting the freeway, parking lots etc they think Tesla FSD sucks. These are totally different things....if you don't know FOR SURE you have FSD, you don't have it. So that also drives a lot of misinformation
Electric cars TALKING TO EACH OTHER could save every life.
Yes i thought about it too, Hive Mode
It's called V2V, and is being tested now on a limited basis.
@@ronpiper8496 somehow it’s not an important
Development for the current administration.
Haven’t heard a word about it.
I read that some Cadillac CTS models have had V2V for a few years now, it uses Wi-Fi. V2V is mainly for collision avoidance, the little Wi-Fi transmitters are usually only about 0.021 mw, only transmit maybe 50 feet at the most.@@glennvastine4118
there's already too many people on the planet and causing traffic...and now you want to go and save some more of them sheeesh!
This is now so out of date, but it's interesting to see how the expert commentary from back then was so incredulous about technology. And Bob Lutz was so wrong about everything, out was hilarious.
Excellent journalism! Congrats.
Pfft! Tamiya has been making amazing electric vehicles since the 1960’s.
and robo-racing
Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded TESLA and they built the first Roadster before Elon Musk invested into the company and later ousted the founders and took over as CEO.
Good interview. Looking back this is a slice of history.
Can you please put the date on the thumbnail and the title for these old episodes?
each segment is time stamped already
@@partydelcarmenmx6388 yes, that is correct. The segment is timestamped. Good observation.
3:34 "People are increasingly asking for this" I just want to say I love and want this new technology, I can embrace it moving forward because I understand its usefulness in places like traffic jams when you just don't want to drive, but people who have driven a manual are sad to see current technology go. There's a profound sensation that happens when shifting gears through the corners of a scenic road you've never been on, and it's a good one. The more control I have over my vehicle, the less restrained I am when I've learned how to use its hand-operated components.
Shame Sergio died in 2018. Guy was an amazing businessman.
I had to check. I thought this was a decade old show.
Notice that they did not show the car driving on the freeway, only trying to merge onto the freeway, there is a reason for that.
I saw a Waymo labeled car on 101 in San Rafael going north during commute time traveling in the slow lane going about 25 miles per hour, dangerously and illegally slow. The windows were tinted so I don't know if there was a human operator inside. I moved over 2 lanes away from the Waymo car for safety. Here in Marin, up in the hillside areas, the roads are really only wide enough in many cases for one car to travel, and there are no center lines. Often times one of the cars must back up and pull over, or if the driver knows the road and can see through the trees they can pull over in advance to let opposing traffic pass. In other words, there will never be any driver less cars on 95 percent of the streets in Marin, thank goodness for that.
You're naive for using the word "never."
Self driving and artificial intelligence is literally just getting started. It will get exponentially better over a few short years.
I was talking about Marin County when I wrote never, I can guarantee that. It's because of the physical location and geography of the area, and because of the technological ability of remote control cars, they can't function at all here, and the public would never allow it because of those safety reasons. There is no possible way that these cars will ever be allowed to operate here for many, many reasons. but obviously those vehicles are being allowed to be tested in limited areas during limited hours and when it's not foggy or rainy in urban areas like San Francisco. Though assisted driving vehicles have been a failure and are extremely limited in their testing areas, maybe some day in the very distant future (not in our lifetimes) these DA (driver assisted) vehicles might be expanded, but then there is the cost of these taxis. Right now each taxi costs well over $1 million, what corporations think that they can make a profit off of a one million+ dollar taxi ?. I read an article in the S.F. Gate that said General Motors lost $5.5 BILLION in the last 5 years on their failed Cruise experiment. It's not really a viable financial investment at all. Investors can't tolerate massive losses forever.@@Anonymous-pm7jf
Right from the start it drove onto the double yellow line!
So, at 700 feet, will it still be driving me toward a forest fire or category 4 tornado as I rest my eyes?
Are you trying to sell insurance?
@@craigb8228 Trying to avoid excessive insurance rates.....oh.....and death.
The google engineer’s kids are growing up and have to get driver’s license now😂
so much for wishful thinking
Will talon metals in Minnesota become a mine? Tamarack Minnesota has nickel there.. many jobs if it does.
60 minutes has missed that target 🎯 altogether, Tesla has this master way beyond the company’s covered in this video.
You mean the junk that self crashes into high way bridge pillars?
I test drove the new BMW i3 and the EQE both out of Chinese factories. Could not convince me because of range or acceleration, or self driving features.
So I kept looking and also drove the Zeekr 001. The Zeekr 001 is way ahead.

The platform is 800V super fast charging. The performance is excellent like my Porsche Taycan 4S+. So I have ordered one to replace my MS90D junk!
I enjoyed this self-embarrassing parody while my Tesla Model Y with FSD drove me home.
The Ordinary - i heard that also - but if they were making so many batteries where are they going? I had heard the new BYD Seagul was going to use them; but so far - not true. Maybe at some point they will incorporate Sodium but none are being produced with sodium so far.
Can I upgrade my s550 with this? I have the same year
Mercedes has since given up on autonomous driving.
Just took our first ride in the Waymo Jaguars of Phoenix, no one in the driver's seat. Felt comfortable after 5 minutes. Really astounding
WAYMO is crappy. see - CalasEV - Tesla vs Waymo.
@@markplott4820 will check it out! Gotta say though, I love both systems. Different, but both good :)
On one hand I am impressed that self-driving cars are making the headlines at 60 Minutes. On the other, I am hugely disappointed that the leader in self-driving technology is clearly Tesla --- as measured by number of autonamous vehicles on the road, number of autonamous miles driven, types of roads available, variety of driving conditions available for autonomy, etc.
Why was the Tesla brand snubbed down to a 3-second mention?
Read the description. This video was originally aired in 2015.
"A car will not react to something that cannot see "
But it can react to something it sees and is not there. That is a danger too!
The number of lives it saves would not even compare to the numbers of serious injuries it would prevent. Years ago a co-worker was hit head on by a driver that had lost consciousness and the co-worker's leg was crushed along with other injuries. If only self driving cars were available it could have been prevented. I always thought though that self driving cars should have a dedicated lane on main roads to avoid the crazy drivers that are out in force.
Those taxis need a center line to function, 'round here we don't have center lines in them thair hills.
All these sensors will be costly to maintain. I wonder what will happen when these cars go on the secondhand market.
The future junkyards will be different places where they collect the electronics and trash the plastic and tin.
I love the GM guy really funny but in a lovely way 😂😂😂
"Journalism is printing what someone else does not want published; everything else is public relations.” Nice job with the free public relations CBS.
I hope this car will be around when I am still alive . I want one !!!
Buy a Tesla
Don't hold your breath waiting, just enjoy your life now.
Tesla already has this. 😂
I hope I can order a automated drone to come pick me up after work everyday.
@12:49, I thought he was going to say “I feel like I could be driving into a telephone pole…”
This all wonderful and exciting and inevitably this is where we heading but no one talks about the batteries that will eventually give out their disposal and effects on the environment. I believe the way to go is not electricity but hydrogen.
Batteries can be recycled, and unlike hydrogen, lithium battery infrastructure already exists. There are 100 plus "giga" battery factories in China churning them out right now. Who on the other hand is producing hydrogen at a scale large enough to fuel all the cars in the world, along with a distribution network for said hydrogen? Batteries don't require such a distribution network. just install them into cars and upgrade your local electric grids as needed. While Japan Inc is still stubbornly working on hydrogen, the Chinese will likely start mass producing sodium ion batteries within the year, which will be the actual game changer, since they require no lithium, no rare earth metals, have no fire hazard, and are so cheap they can be fitted en masse into cheaper cars as well as for massive grid storage installations.
Notice they cut the video when the Mercedes was merging on the to freeway, as the silver BMW jumped out and went around the black Benz and beat it to the spot that the self driving was about to takes. The Mercedes was signalling to merge left and then started to move left, appears to balk at going left and slightly brake then the scene cuts. I got a feeling that he Benz got frazzled and the engineer had to take control which wouldn't be sexy. All i know is the big yellow truck was tight behind the newly inserted silver BMW and so I'm not sure where the heck the Mercedes could fit so the choices look to be 1) cram in, 2) slow to near stop and wait to go behind the yellow rig, 3) accelerate much more than they just said it wouldn't do over teh speed limit, 4) or go straight and get run off the road as the entrance ramp evaporates. That challenge got cut out though. Interesting. It's teh tough situations that define sucess. I can close my eyes and take my hands off the wheel on a straight section of road and a good alignment will stay in the lay for many hundres of feet like the MErcedes or other pseudo self driving cars. That doen't make my blind faith and toe settings a self driving system.
I have a 13 Volt, I love it. Best car I've ever had
Volts were very good cars. I still see them all over (Vegas)
General motors made an excellent electric car that they trashed so they should have the expertise to make another.
This guy definitely got his own style.
I like theses episodes
Not 1 word on Chryslers electric cars, without them nobody can keep them alive.
I have 2021 RAV4 and it has cruise. That can keep me in the lane and drive. It’s so cool. I call it super Cruise
I am interested if anyone can link me to the clip where LESLIE STAHL vocalizes the actual quotes from LBJ or BILL / HILLARY CLINTON.... waiting .... crickets!
I truly hope we can figure out “autonomous vehicles”!
The title of the video should indicate how old the footage is. 2015, 2008, etc. Most people don’t bother reading the description. 😑
And 2019.
Dude, FSD 12.3 is out, why are we discussing Mercedes?????
In shanghai they are already using self driving cars for taxi
Aired 2015 and now December of 2023…curious of the advancements made?
The Fisker is still a beautiful car.
Beauty is I. The eyes of the beholder’s
Why are they cutting production?
@@puffns battery supplier issues
I have a Tesla Model X Plaid and admittedly am a Tesla fanboy, but I agree and think the Karma looks better.
Outside, but poor engineering.
When the car as an accident, will we blame the car or the operator?
This must be an old interview. Gm has the Bolt which is all electric. It’s been out for over 2 years
Is this an old episode??
This is a repeat from the 2015 airing. See video description.
In China, driverless public transport buses are open to the public for free on routes.
Everyone should be working together on this one…
Working together you'd have to add in the insurance companies because they like to tell you about every flaw in the automated system to maintain business..
Why is it 53 mins. ? Conversation?
Interesting comparison between what they knew then versus what we know now.
Known as renewable hydrogen, green hydrogen production allows us to obtain a clean fuel from renewable energies. It is already seen as the great hope for substituting fossil fuels in sectors that are difficult to decarbonize. Both governments and the private sector recognize that hydrogen is an essential pillar of a fully sustainable energy transition. 21:43 [Active Sustainability]

Even if we could reduce collisions by 50% with less deaths. How to decide who has priority car occupants vs pedestrian an emergency situation. Who is liable with a collision in autonomous vehicle
The AI looks like its been piroritizing the car. You bought the car it protects you. Stupid pedestrians should not have popped out like that. It will try to brake. Its reflexes are faster than human so the pedestrian has a better chance with the AI than a human.
These automated cars are very intriguing, but all that tech is a whole lot to go wrong🤔
be nice if the original roadster was compatible with new surperchargers
This episode is from 2015. Remember that when you are watching/commenting.
The autonomous self driving car will be safer than any human driver is the goal and a goal that will happen one day. Not soon but eventually. If you see how we drive nowadays and the multiple errors people make when driving, you can understand why this goal will help us more than hurt us in the future.
What if a tumbleweed or plastic bag rolls by? Will it come to an abrupt stop?
Self walking versus self driving close up shots
Every car would have to have the same technology and take human control out of it in order for them to communicate with each other, and then they would need some type of technology built into the streets for the cars to follow almost like a magnetic pick up
What impact on insurance companies?
Outdated information, woulda been nice to see 60 Minutes actually do a where are we now and whats in the pipeline (so to speak) for the next 5yrs
Nice picture from the thingie on the dash.
27:35 the city in the picture is Hong Kong.
Safer cars means less insurance so you can forget about it because they are too greedy.
Absolutely hysterical to watch this now. Smug mismanagement by the bigwigs. A common reason companies die
There are literally hundreds of thousands of people driving a Tesla with this technology 5 years ago😅. Tesla is 10 years ahead of these companies
This obsession with materialism and technology has really gotten out of hand.
About time. I want to hit speeds at 175 mph on the highway while drinking a beer on my way to the grand canyon.
A self driving car sounds fantastic. But, what about navigating around city construction zones? How often do self driving cars have accidents in San Francisco where there are a bunch of autonomous driving cars? It is still a work in progress.
It's wise to take over in those situations.
Been 6 YEARS since this video was made lol
I would love to know what it would do in a head-on collision because of a DUI driver.😮
If there's a collision, it's already past the point of being able to do anything about it. Now if you are asking what it would do if there was a car careening toward it, then whatever automonous system was driving should attempt to avoid it, duh. The autonomous vehicles in this video from 2015 would probably just keep driving.
This is a very old 60 mn news, by now standards. It should be watched as "60 mn history in the making".
How ridiculous! Tesla has thousands of times more road miles under autonomous driving than any other car company...it would make much more sense to see how Tesla does it.
Information safii
This is really olds (let’s not call it news). That’s a 2012 Tesla, just to show how old this video is.
This is so old.. come on people. Why are you uploading dated material
2014-15
Need to be more clear in the title that this an old episode. Tech moves fast.
The main issue isn’t the self driving cars it’s the people that are driving normal cars. No matter what as long as manually operated cars are on the roads then there will always be problems with this. If every single car was self driving then I think everything would be 10x easier for the people creating this technology, but that’s absolutely unpractical in the real world, but it’s funny to think about..
You can make cares safer but at the expense of looks and speed, so no one is designing them safer. They could be designed with rubber to absorb the impact like bumper cars only better.
How about a n updated episode!
Ouch! @26:10
It's too easy to commandeer computers on cars! Imagine a hacker taking control over 500 hundred cars, although it doesn't matter if they're self driving or not. Hackers can lock you in your car, make it accelerate. Stop or go, brake or turn
Why doesn’t 60minutes do a story on Tesla FSD. This story has been out for a while. Time for an update?
Just think that if a Battery was produced to give up to, say 6,000+ miles, back and forth across the US once, could become a possibly solid sales point , to start.
What wasn't covered in the GM story is they actually had a mass- produced electric car before Tesla was even founded. It was called the EV-1 and existed from 1996-1999. Lutz should've been asked why the EV1 was discontinued and how far ahead GM would've been if they hadn't discontinued it.
Actually they covered it in the story. @18:45
4 minutes in and they haven't mentioned Tesla
I would like to see the car take a divers license test the same way as we all need to do in order to drive
Just what we need, cars that drive themselves and cost a zillion dollars. What could possibly go wrong?
Too many idiots out on the road to make this safe and effective.
This is a good thing since you all cant put the phone down. Please get one and save us.
