driverless vehicles should not be allowed on the roads.

Given how many bad drivers, accidents and near-accidents I see on the road every day, I'll take my chances with the driverless vehicles - they couldn't possibly be worse.

driverless vehicles should not be allowed on the roads.

I think something like that will happen, but it will work the other way. That is, some roads will only allow driverless cars. Because they can communicate with each other and the road itself, there would be no need for traffic lights as cars weave around each other in a complicated, but smoothly coreographed dance - in a way that human drivers could not possibly perform.

Eventually, driverless will be the safest and fastest option. It’s inevitable. The real question is regarding when will it get to that point.

I remember when someone said back in the mid-90’s that all successful salesmen would have a cell phone. I didn’t believe it. My position sounds ludicrous, now. It didn’t back then.

Like I used to say to my friends in high school (1970). when they said, “People will never accept that.” My response: “what is true is that THIS GENERATION will never accept that.”

And the world is changing so fast, along with people’s willingness to accept change, that even that is no longer true.

gargantuan pickups driven by assholes shouldn’t be either.

Agree. Like kids today never knowing how to fix anything. Hands on learning gone.

When TSHTF, people will be lost.

And what about outer space interferences. I don’t even rely computers.
These new phones are taking over our ability to do for ourselves.
