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.
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.
LOL... it was the bridge story that got me... heh heh... I have found that, in my twilight years, that I'm in much less of a hurry, and appalled by the foolish aggressions carried out continually by mostly younger, and very stupid, careless drivers. OTOH, I almost got clipped yesterday by an a-hole in a small pickup as I was about to pull out of a parking space (going forward) at the local grocery store ("market" for those who live west of the Rockies, be sure to pick up some Best Foods mayo while you're there), and the driver was probably at least in the ballpark of my age. His wife (or the woman in the passenger seat) screamed and had a horrified expression as he came out of the service drive from the street and took a high speed angled trajectory. I would have been wishing for some heart pills, but I don't have those yet, and at this age, I tend to get pissed off rather than feeling all pitter-pat.
