I want a *GPS Warning* to know those “blind car routes” well-ahead of time, so I can stay far away from the area! This is a disaster in the making, IMO. Something’s bound to happen.

They will be safer than the ‘normal’ routes where people think they see things and try to cut you off all the time.

Agreed, the cars might be fine by themselves but other drivers are unpredictable and robotic technology doesn’t deal with unpredictability very well.

I want the route so I can find the car.... Hit it and blame google and sue them for billions!

Is your GPS doing flaky things lately? I don’t trust ours any more since it tried to give us a 9-mile detour to a destination that was about 400 feet away.

I just finished Directive 51 and Daybreak by John Barnes and in the former (set in 2024) when the electronic systems go down there are catastrophic pileups when the GPS autopilot systems go down which allow huge convoys of trucks to efficiently draft each other down the freeways at high speeds.

A minor sub part of the story, but very interesting trilogy (book 3 in progress) in which a self propagating meme has arisen amongst people via the net which evokes itself as a leaderless attempt to eliminate human civilization utilizing the self loathing subsets of radical environmentalists and terrorists.

It's easily as good as One Second After, with the added plus' of slightly into the future and global aspects.
