Don’t care. No,just no.
He also touts voter-less votes.................
Just keep importing enough Haitians and it will be true.
Some places are already banning the unsafe driver less cars
I had a chance to see how Waymo cars operate on my trip to Austin, TX. It’s weird to see several vehicles jockeying for position at a light or crosswalk with no driver in the front seat. People look at them nervously, but the cars behave like human drivers, courteously stopping to allow people to cross intersections, peeking around corners before turning, etc.
I sense that, over time, people will get used to them like they have for automatic elevators or sliding doors.
They only have to be better than the average human driver.
It appears some of the software/sensor and vehicle combinations have already achieved that standard.
I believe it can be. Not sure if the tech is there yet but it’s close. And nobody has more data than Tesla. Their full sell drive comes with basically every car. If you don’t pay for it you can’t use it but they still collect the data. We’re talking 100,000s of cars on the road every day. If anyone is closest, it’s Tesla not Google.
When will they ban people from driving ?
The sooner we all get in them the sooner we’ll be better off. Think about it. Work while you’re riding and not driving-production goes up. No need for insurance or the highway patrol. No need for a garage as everything can be UBER. That means renting your garage out to uber to serve the neighborhood. No maintenance. It will all be done at one big center. Highway speeds at 80 mph bumper to bumper.
I could go on.
Rush hours-ride share would cut down on the traffic. There would be no need to own a car and worry about the catalityc converter being stolen.
No.
It's all fun and games until Bambi joins the dance.
You will not be given a choice. Insurance companies will simply refuse to give you coverage.
TOTAL BULL
I watch EVERY car when I cross a street, because many of the Electric Vehicles make no sound when they start moving.
Now, add driver-less cars to watch out for?
And, I forgot to mention a new scourge...
Electric Bikes, going 25-30 mph on the side walks, and even faster in the bike lanes you have to walk across.
I got my license at 16.
NOW 84.
HAVE DRIVEN OVER 1 MILLION MILES—NO ACCIDENTS—Last ticket in about 1997. NO SEAT BELT.
PUT OVER 444,000 miles on the ONLY new car I ever owned in 30+ years.
Have 1976 ton 4 speed 454 Chevy truck in driveway. It has over 348,000 on the chassis.
I have driven it over 250,000 miles towing horses since April 1986.
When towing a LIVE LOAD-—the defensive attitude of the driver is paramount. You CANNOT throw those animals around in the trailer or they will refuse to load up.
IMO-—THERE IS NOT a single ‘NON DRIVER” vehicle that can do that.
No, the fat fingers of government on the scales may (as they seek to do something about the free range aspect of free range taxation sources) but insurance companies will never leave money uninsured if they have a say about it.
This doesn't need a computer driven car. Ride sharing has been around for a century with taxi cabs and still doesn't cover people's needs.
