These cars will be in a lot of accidents probably
Oh great...
now I can really feel safe on the roads...
It would scare the you know what out of me to be traveling in one of those things without a driver. No way I could ever just trust a computer.
I predict semi-trucks will be one of the last things automated on the road. Just gotta watch one back up, it’s a lot more art form than science, people are better at art than computers. Stuff that doesn’t require feel and instinct will be quick. I can’t wait to go to concerts in Phoenix and start sleeping as soon as I get in the car.
The micro-second that they cross into Arizona there had better be a human driver behind the wheel.
California already has brainless voters; why not driverless cars?
Get over it. Truck drivers are just buggy whips.
Docking, fueling a vehicle and many other last 100 feet obstacles are no longer Impediments.
Google can get the last 100 feet technology from Amazon and the truck will use the GPS of and supplied on and around a given property.
No need for a human.
In fact, customers can be given an inducement of lower transportation costs if they will allow the delivery co.pany6to install a system and that will mean more work in the structured cable businesses and increase bandwidth requirements for many companies.
Cha ching! Your job didn’t just get outsourced, truck drivers will become buggy whip manufacturers.
Love it.
Goose better think about a different industry. Maverick sure ain’t gonna go there.
Driverless trains would make a lot more sense.
Increase of dog death rate to ensue?.
It is absolutely fascinating that the Teamsters’ Union is about to be undone by such a left-leaning corporation as Google.
Taxi companies and even Uber will feel the pressure.
No more being picked up by a driver who smells like a two week old pastrami and salmi sandwich, who I can’t frickin understand and has no clue what the quickest or most expedient route is.
Maybe taxis and delivery vehicles, but I'm not seeing a big demand for cars driving around with nobody in them.
Let’s see:
1. No more truck drivers driving drunk or drugged.
2. No more truck drivers falling asleep at the wheel.
3. No more truck drivers veering into the other lane thanks to ‘Pavement Princess’ acts, Chicken Choking, ad nauseam.
Sounds great at first, but a lot of rural private property is supported by truck drivers. This could result in significant loss of private property as displaced drivers are forced by the Tax Man to sell or abandon their property.
Where "driverless" will help will be to let the driver "catch forty winks" on long inter-urban stretches so they will be fully alert and capable when the inevitable "needs a human" things happen.
As long as no programs are created that allow the computer to text, tweet, or otherwise f-around on the internet.....
they will be an improvement over the asshats I put up with everyday.
What could possibly go wrong?
So future car going be Knight Rider KITT????
