Will all autonomous vehicles be above average?
I thought you weren’t suposed to talk with the police.
All machines break down at some point. What will be the cost when this happens? Will they be able to anticipate potential problems in order to react?
I’ve always favored a rapid delivery rail system to major hubs with feeder lines to lesser traveled locations.
Of course driverless cars will be better!
Heck the average American can barely drive a cart around Walmart!
To err is human, to be able to blame it on a computer is divine.
Whom will be held accountable when driverless cars cause accidents?
“Officer, I am not programmed to speed, is it possible your radar is off?”
“Officer, do the assholes I’m transporting look like they are capable of reprogramming me to speed?”

Robo cards are reactive. The can operate in an environment where 99.9% of the other vehicles have an intelligent( hopeful semi intelligent anyway) person behind the wheel. In an all robo car environment my guess is that they will feed back loop themselves into a standstill.
If all cars were driverless there would be no “volume” delays.The slow down in volume situations occur because almost 100 percent of drivers CANNOT merge and accelerate simultaneously.
If the damn driverless car is talking back and forth to someone when it’s supposed to have its sensors on the road, then I want NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
“Murphy” happens. He’s the law and he doesn’t shive a git if the car has a driver or not.
Absolute bull$hit.
OTOH, there are critical places where they may be a death sentence when a human could take terrain, escape routes, etc., into consideration.
There have been cases where "stability control" has caused cars to lose control where a human might not because they can't see/recognize a pothole/loose sand or gravel, and other conditions and take them into account.
They’ll certainly be better drivers than Chinese people!
I can understand why China would like driverless cars. It’s easier for the government to control the people. They can remotely program vehicles, track every vehicle’s location and turn them all off to prevent movement.
Having been to Beijing and crossing the street there, I would have to say that anything would be better than Chinese drivers.
I can see it now, "police" men sitting in their cars... "pull over 'citizen'", then he wirelessly takes control of your self driving "car", pulls it over to the curb, locks all of the doors so his "suspect" can not escape and there you helplessly sit until the special military-grade SWAT wagon shows up then you are removed the gun point and taken into custody. ...Isn't future technology wonderful? Not!
Until a couple of GPS satellites short out.
