Any vehicle is self driving if you let go of the steering wheel…

If horses are "self driving" then so are humans.

Every time I jump on a humans back though, and try to ride them, they scream and call the police.

I hear that
by Durwardziemann1 week ago
U have to tame them first, then they will let u ride them

Wow that feels disturbing.
by Durwardziemann1 week ago
You gotta break them in first

And then by that logic, the first one wouldn't have been humans either, it woulda been some clump of cells in the primordial sea.

Kinda need a vehicle involved though.

Donkeys probably came first.

Not really self-driving. Horses had an adaptive cruise control but you couldn't input your destination and expect them to go there. The rider was still in charge of the route.

Don't horses always find their way home? So it might just work as self-driving when returning from the pub.

Riding under the influence definitely feels safer than driving. I don't know enough about horses to know if they would return home on their own.

I actually heard a story recently about how when this dude and his friends got drunk back in the day their horses would take them home
by Marshalldickens1 week ago
The old story was that if the drunk guy could get on the horse, his horse could take him home. Horses definitely know a route, and will follow that route if its part of a routine. So if your horse knows the way home from the bar without input from the rider, you need to cut down on the stuff.

That would be one smart horse
by Substantial_Echo81921 week ago
What you need is a smart saddle with GPS that can control the reigns.

How about a log in a river

Last I checked horses don't take you to where you want to go on their own, they need to be steered like any vehicle.

Last I checked cars do what you tell them when you tell them and don't get put down because of a flat tire xD

Soldiers moving on horseback. But fighting dismounted, like regular infantry. Imagine that. Imagine dragoons.

I'm pretty sure horses don't go where you want them to without directly guiding them. I don't thing the comparison really works.

Hmmm they're not vehicles though. If they are, the first self driving vehicles were some sort of dinosaur or caveman era (whatever that is) animal like mammoths, bulls of some sort, of maybe even camels Maybe even sled dogs? That's be a truer version of a self driving vehicle opposed to horses.

And the first drone delivery services were pigeons.
