PING!
So the laws regarding texting and talking on your cell phone will become elite? /s
Driverless cars are just one more step towards elimination of our freedom to go where we choose. Driverless cars will only go to certain destinations, you can bet on that. This will be tailor made for Agenda 21’s ‘corridor’ narrative.
So, if the vehicle is broadcasting that it is under computer control, does that mean cops can’t cite you for moving violations ?
All those tax collectors on motorcycles will be out of work.
That’s fine with me. Citing people for driving “dangerously” when they have actually caused no damage to property or persons has always struck me as fascist. We already have laws that punish for damaging people or property, and traffic citations are strictly punishment for the deterrent value. We have masochistically surrendered freedoms for the illusion of security.
Pure projection. Apparently this person can only dream of having a clear driving record.
Just don’t let Microsoft anywhere near the project or we’re all DOOMED!
“You are about to crash into a tree. Click OK.”
Technology is a wonderful thing until the battery is dead.
Anyone who wants a car that drives itself needs to take a bus.
At least 50 years ago I heard and read the same stories.Yawn.
Lawyers are looking forward to this. There will be much money to be made sorting out the accidents and deaths the driverless cars will cause.
BMW rejects this technology.
Otherwise, they’ll have to change there slogan to ‘The ultimate riding-around-in machine.’
On a system designed for driverless cars, is a human driver illegal due to the unpredictability?
I think this is about the stupidist thing they could have ever thought of!!!
Just EXACTLY what entity is the auto insurance company supposed to be underwriting?
If there is an accident-—you cannot sue the DRIVER of the car-—he wasn’t driving!!!
Sueing the driverless car won’t work, wither, since under American laws, you are allowed to cross examine your opponent, and how do you cross examine a CAR!!!!
This has lots of legal loopholes.
I won’t EVER haul my horses with a vehicle that ‘drives itself’!!!
It won’t drive above the speed limit!!!
How does one pass when necessary? Sometimes you are above the speed limit for a good reason!! Even if only temporary!
Icy roads? Icy bridges (Common where I live). Black ice is a bugger! Patchy snow? Heavy splash from the truck going the opposite direction? How fast will it decellerate when I am hauling a trailer? If too fast, a very good way to wrap the trailer around yourself!!!
I could get behind this technology. Less accidents, DWIs start disappearing, alot less traffic violations for towns to pad their coffers with, etc.
Nothing can go wrong ..... go wrong ..... go wrong
