You would have to make sure that SOMEONE woke you up when you finally DID reach your destinationThat's happened to me before. I was stationed in Germany back in the 80's. I got on the train to go home after a bit of drinking, fell asleep, and woke up in the morning in a train yard on the French border.

And more people on unemployment not paying taxes. I guess you’re right.

I work in the tech industry and am not a believer. How many times have you had a computer crash on you due to a software bug, a hardware fail or some other mysterious reason? If that happens in a driverless car, the passengers are flying over the guardrail in a steel coffin. How about driving snow? Half the people living in the north are clueless when driving in snow. How us a robocar going to sense snow on the road and adapt?

How about a herd of skittish deer on the side of the road suddenly leaping in front of the car. It happens here in northern Michigan. How do you program in the wild varieties of deer behavior we’ve all seen in our decades long driving careers?

The tandem trailer behind you is running Windows 10.
Be very afraid.

They would lower some accident ratesProbably. They'll also use statistical best case scenerios instead of survival of the fittest. That's one more giant leap toward being completely transformed to an Idiocracy.

I got on the train to go home after a bit of drinking, fell asleep, and woke up in the morning in a train yard on the French border.Trains are VERY noisy but, for some reason, they are also very relaxing. I LOVED taking the trains all over Europe in the 70's.

266 people?
Is it close to an urban area where they can get, oh, everything: groceries, churches, gas stations, health care, emergency care, dentists, repairs for cars, ice makers and whatever might break down in the house and on? Or do they have to drive FOREVER to get ANYWHERE?

Probably. They'll also use statistical best case scenerios instead of survival of the fittest. That's one more giant leap toward being completely transformed to an Idiocracy.Humanity hasn't changed. We're the same as we always were, same ole Cain and Abel. BUT, there are seven billion of us.
Lincoln once said: Human behavior can be modified to some extent but human nature cannot be changed.
To: Chainmail
Except of course NONE of the self driving car plans involve step 2. And they don’t need it. They need to observe their surroundings, and getting a bunch of data twice (once from coordination once from observation) won’t help the situation.

The same way car currently do: traction control. Modern cars do a lot more of the driving than people want to admit already.

The people in this country have become so lazy they dont even want to drive a car anymore? Total idiocy. With the number of idiots that text or talk on their cellphone while exceeding the speed limit I would prefer that these idiots be in automated cars.

Except "doesn't need it" has never prevented government from intruding where it can. Do you think that all of the changes in motor vehicles came about because we asked for them - seatbelts, child safety seats, airbags, CAFE emission standards, etc., etc,?
Enabling a vehicle to be self-piloting puts all the mechanisms in place for external monitoring and external control. If it can be done - and it can - the government will exploit that opening for control.
If you don't see that, you really aren't a conservative, are you?
