In 2011, about 7,000 of the approximately 35,000 car accident deaths in the U.S. took place at intersections. Still: Google’s cars would almost immediately cease the more than 3,000 deaths each year due to distracted highway driving.

ONE QUESTION: If an accident were to occur, WHO IS LIABLE TO PAY? Google? Or the non-driver?

Let’s ask fighter pilots if removing the pilot from the fighter jet is a good idea?

Cars don’t tend to do much dogfighting. Fact is for most of the “peaceful” parts of a flight fighter pilots are using the autopilot. So their answer would probably be “as long as nobody is shooting at you”.

Cars dont tend to do much dogfighting. I see you don't drive much in California city/freeway traffic.

Already invented a very similar product.
It’s called a train.

With advancing air defense technology and the ever greater Gs aircraft and missiles are capable of pulling, I think the handwriting is pretty much on the wall for in-aircraft combat pilots.

How good is it if somebody were to accidentally fall on the track like what happens in the NYC subways?

I think I would rather be neutered than have my car drive me around, talk about handing over your Man Card.
Love to see how it handles a blizzard also.

Let’s suppose it all works fine and is implemented. Is anyone worried about a hacker attack?
