Self-Driving Cars

True. But eyeballs are better than sensors in this case. The tech is not that good.
.

Human anticipation is far better too .

The over 40,000 traffic deaths last year give me doubt of the veracity of your statements.

Could have been a lot more .

Self-Driving Uber Car Kills Arizona Pedestrian

There is video evidence that the victim stepped in front of the vehicle outside of a cross walk. It may not be the fault of the machines. Whatever the case may be, I'm too old school to trust the machines.

Here is an excellent Bloomberg artilcle with plenty of statistics and what to expect with the adoption of self-driving technology. In short, self-drivers have not logged enough miles to make a meaningful comparison with human drivers.

At the very least, self driving cars will drastically reduce drunk driving accidents which could potentially save 10,000 lives a year in the United States.

I'm just trying to figure out what is driving this technology .

 

[Beobloke]

I voted No.

I don't even trust a computer to scan my shopping properly, so I sure as hell wouldn't trust them to drive me around!

It makes death more random. Since I don't do a lot of drunk driving it's not that attractive an option.

I used to hit a lot of deer until I began to anticipate them and study the road side. Ditto urban driving (study that is - I never hit anybody).

One of the options to vote on should be "Oh HELL No!"

Since it's usually the person that gets hit by the drunk driver that dies, it should. Drunk drivers like to blow lights, it's the center punched vehicle that suffers the casualties.

Sunday drives , anyone?

Home, Siri.
Okay, Google

Self driving cars will be programmed to always yield. I look forward to the day when there's a whole bunch of them on the road. I won't ever buy one but their presence will definitely cut down my commute time.

Teen showoffs will step off the sidewalk for laughs and watch them magically stop. The guy behind the "wheel" will look like a fool and might find himself without wallet, car, and maybe worse.

If somebody's gonna blow a light I don't want to have to depend on my "smart" car to anticipate, interpret, and react properly.

Better than eating tide pods I guess..

Except if the drunk isn't driving they won't blow the light.

Goodbye drunk driving,
