I want to control where I go and how I get there...this makes as much sense as being on a motorcycle going 70 miles an hour without holding on to the handlebars and gears...
Liberalism is a mental disease: ‘Trying the same thing over and over again hoping for different results’...
Cute. But surely you realize it will be the LAW to have one, or you cannot use the interstates of the future.
Neil Peart of Rush nailed it in "Red Barchetta."
We’ll see how this all plays out, but I think it is a very short step from “driverless cars” to driverless cars that require buying assorted special government chip privileges to go certain places in lieu of toll booths.
Next, liberals will want programs written that will aggregate data and determine who is going where all for the super innocuous benefit of automatically “helping” people car pool. This is before they actually mandate car pooling if the algorithm shows your going to the same location at roughly the same time. Otherwise - surprise! - you can pay a hefty fee to use your individual driverless car. Really, not much different than car pooling lanes in many cities — outside of the sheer coercion.
I’m not against technology, but it seems to me that there are forces out there that are moving mountains to bring about driverless cars. For what real reason or benefit? And more importantly, who is asking for driverless cars? As far as I can see, no one at all has been clamoring for driverless cars outside of groups and people who are certain that globull warming is a major issue.
And that’s what scares me!
“Anyone who would want one these ‘cars’ is insane...”
what I’m thinking is each car will need multiple sensors. At any given time in a well used car, at least a couple sensors will be kaput, making the car undriveable.
