I ask you; would you let your kids be driven to school in a driverless car?

If networked, they can and will be hacked.

If they ever get them to work reliably, they would be most useful for people who are too old to drive safely.

If it's KITT, yes; Christine, no.

so in an accident between a driver and a driverless car the driverless car is always assumed to be not at fault?

Seems a little racist... or sexist ...or .....somthing-ist?

They are not “driverless.” There must be a live driver at the wheel, ready to take over when the piece of metal can’t handle the situation. This is the most colossally stupid idea ever to be invented.

I've been driving longer and likely farther than driverless cars and I've been in a "few" accidents too....but that's over almost 40 years.
