As we get older, some traffic intersections get confusing enough for humans. In a city there may be as many as five or more different light configurations at intersections. Lane configurations add to the problem. You need human a human level skill-set to traverse the traffic system, and even then that’s not even a guarantee that accidents won’t happen, people won’t die.

This seemed like a death machine from the get-go. As soon as they started talking about it, I was very negative toward them.

I don’t want these machines (driver-less vehicles) on the road.

Imagine what one rogue semi could do.

I have found that sometimes it’s easier/safer to cross in the middle the block.

How about we see if we can automate trains first. It seems like a fairly straight forward proposition to automate trains and we can’t even do that. So the really smart people want to skip over that and move right to cars with the infinite amount of variables that entails.
