maybe there were four or five experts, but I was certainly at the top of my field
...and yet, the "visionary" can't grasp the simple truth, which is, the only people in favor of so-called self-driving vehicles are two-strike drunks and the hucksters like himself who want to sell the effin' things. And btw, what an arrogant blowhard. Thanks Dumbgrunt.

I’m mostly a teetotaler and have been called so many names ‘huckster’, would not make the list.

Being a septuagenarian my RT (reaction time) can be measured on a kitchen clock, night vision decreasing daily and easily distracted.
Also, recall the old line, you tend to steer your vehicle in the direction in which you are looking.

Check out that old stone bridge!
Hang on, the ditch looks rough...

I, for one, welcome our new driving overlords.

You’re showing your age. Kids today would much rather pay attention to their smartphones than the road.

And old people. And cab companies. And shipping companies. And anybody with a long commute. And anybody that likes to see concerts in other cities.

It’s got a big market. Even if you can’t see it.

Actually I wish my 94 year old father-in-law had one of these cars so he could once again reclaim his independence. I personally just do not trust my life in the hands of some artificial intelligent program, as I have little faith in programs. 8>)
