Thought on driverless vehicles
All over the media lately. How long before they replace suicide bombers? $ vs. life.

I think once the bugs are ironed out it will be a good thing. Sure if it happens in my life time I will miss driving but I cannot see how it would not reduce traffic fatalities to at least near zero.
The plus side is you get in, program your destination, sit back, read a book, catch up on work or just take a nap. Sounds like a plan to me. spdrun rant in 3.....2......1......

I'm keeping my human-driven car for as long as legal, then moving to a 3rd world country where no one can afford the tech. Ned! Ludd!

I've already got American Greed and Dallas Car Sharks set to record.
Can you get a dui riding in a car being driven by a computer while you are loaded? These cars will be the best thing yet for ppl that tend to drink and drive. I drove a 2014 E class the other day that shakes the steering wheel whenever you get on the center line or the line to the right. Felt like a computer game. Thinking about it though, that is nothing. I've had cars that the steering wheel shook anytime you got above about 30 mph.

Considering the level of competence of most of our human drivers, can it really be any worse?

I say, invest in public transit instead. More bang for the buck.

I reckon I'd feel about like I feel when in an airplane. Utterly powerless and out of control of my fate. It would take extra xanax just to go to the feed store. I'll pass.
