Vehicle manufacturers can't make a turn signal work 100% of the time.Do we really want them to make a car drive itself?
My prediction is that (given the amount of money to be made, and the fact that "self-driving" cars allow people to feed their addictions while on the road) "self-driving cars" will reach a certain level ........ after which, due to the driver forgetting whether the system was "on" or "off", the car losing the plot when the lines disappear under new pavement, snow, dirt, etc and the driver not reacting properly, and non-programmed situations causing the car to decide to kill someone, the usage will come back down due to lawsuits and deaths, allowing use only in restricted areas.Just my prediction. We'll see!Lannis
People in the developed world like to drive. Vehicles are sold based on emotional appeal as to their character and capabilities. I only see self driving cars as being a niche for a very long time. That having been said, there are a lot of career bureaucrats in federal and state government that live for the chance to legislate our freedoms away and protect us from ourselves. A society where we're carted around like cattle as we stare fixated at some device screen may come to pass after all. Hopefully I'm dead by then.
