“Computers crash all the time.”
You have a PC, right? My Mac never crashes.
But, computers control jet airplanes and we have hundreds of flights and are not afraid.
We could have back up systems that could control for computer error.
Also, these would be driver assist systems so that the drive can take over if there were some kind of rare error.
Human error — not mechanical error — and drunk driving is the cause of vast majority of accidents and fatalities. This system would eliminate those hazards which far outweight technical problems that may occur.
Mac’s never crash. BS.
I seriously doubt that I can afford a car with a 747’s avionics. Planes also aren’t flying three feet apart.
Backups fail. Even on Mac’s.
Finally, this is not about safety anyway. It is about control. To control people the government needs to control their movement. This concept you like so much is perfect for sheep.
I missed this one. Joe Blow is sending a text and his car makes a sharp left into incoming traffic at 70mph. He takes over and does what? Hits the softest looking car?
Further BS.
