"These cars will drive better than you or I drive," Brandes said. "They won't drive in someone's blind spot. They won't drive past the speed limit. They won't get angry. The benefits of this technology are just incredible."

Seems to me that so many things will have to be working properly, without a hitch, or there could be disaster.

First, would they be driving on roads upon which there would be no cars with human drivers? If not, how do you program the car to deal with unexpected things that a human-driven non-computerized vehicle might do?

What happens if the GPS or the road sensors don't work, or have a glitch?

What if someone decides this is a great terrorist target? Just disrupt the GPS or road sensor signals and watch the results..

I miss the days when a little professionalism was expected behind the wheel. One of our local first responders told me that everyone under 30 seems to live in a world of cartoon physics.

After an accident killed a local teen girl, the parents tried to sue the company that owned the gravel truck she hit. They declared that the accident simply couldn't have happened because the car the girl was driving had traction control. The simple fact is that she was going too fast around an icy curve.
