what we need are driverless snowblowers
let them keep the streets clear.
Get them moving every time 6 inches falls, so you dont have to do 2 feet at a time
People can’t drive in a blizzard too.
What happens when HACKERS take over the car’s computer, and take control of the car from the driver??? They could crash them at high speed into any targets they choose!
Driverless cars will be a big target for feral urban youth looking to destroy or “tag” something. They will make a sport of it.
Well, Potted up drivers have survived, maybe due in part to accomodation by other drivers in SoCal.
I suggest that introduces a ‘bias’.
Every driverless car has a driver in it. We called it driver training.
How can the car tell the difference between a worker by the side of the road on a construction crew telling me go ignore the stop light and a crazy homeless guy waving his hands asking for money?
“driverless cars are working great, eh?”

and
(i am confident they will work fine ...someday)
I really think a large, self propelled inanimate object on streets and highways is a bad idea in any weather...
there is no difference between a Driver less Car and a Californian driving in a blizzard
Muslims have orders to attach claymores to them and to reroute them to schools and churches.
Brave New World.
Mapping companies like Google have gathered insane amounts of data detailing exactly where the road is. If need be, the car can “fly blind” knowing better where the road is than you do. Only thing it might have a problem with is obstacles, like other cars stopped/crashed in the road - and that’s why every self-driving car should have manual driving capability: when the computer can’t discern what’s ahead, park until the driver takes over.
lol - I suppose this is why it’s a good idea for a car company to be based in DETROIT!!!
You don’t have to believe me but all the car makers have autonomous vehicle programs. You might be surprised at how advanced they are and how they handle bad weather better than people. ...that said, there’s a *huge* difference between having something like this working (R&D) and being able to ship it.
In a country where 40,000 die a year on roads due to drunk driving, texting, watching PORN (http://www.fox2detroit.com/news/local-news/82584838-story), fatigue, etc...this capability will drop that number like a stone. I know that it is unnatural, I think it’ll take time for people to get used to the idea. My guess is drunks will be early adopters.
...and it *might* be a flop feature. Although I doubt it.
