If you have stock in Google I suggest you sell it, b/c once the accidents start the price will drop....

Self valeting cars seem to be a good idea. Or for a brief shop stop in a crowded area, the car could just drive around until recalled if it can’t find a place to park.

Terrorist dreams. How long until someone figures out how to load one up with explosives and program it for drive to a target? This is so stupid! Driverless cars should not be allowed for so many reasons, including this.

When I enter an intersection of stop signs, with queues at every sign, I look for hesitation, timidity, and uncertainty, and I just go whether it is “my turn” or not. If everyone is on the ball, I wait my turn.

When these self driving cars appear at stop sign intersections, people like me will see their weakness (Asimov’s Laws?), and just go. They will be cut in front of for leaving too much following distance. They will be cut off because people trust them to stop. They will be bullied and intimidated right off the road — literally.

It ain’t gonna work.

Uh, no.... I’d rather drive, driving requires intuition and human judgement, as imperfect as the latter is, it will still be better than a computer.

Fine.. But can they handle playing chicken?

How long before they start getting snatched off the streets and end up in chop shops?

Where does the luggage go?
