Shoot, you can see Californians doing this stuff on the freeway every morning and they aren’t in self-driving cars....

For me the only reason to have a self driving car would be to be able to sleep on a long trip, so I think I’ll wait.

Self driving cars where? In Palo Alto driving to Google or Apple HQ? This is the masters of the universe tech elites jerking off. And they vote Obama and Hillary. Which is the war of the high and the low against the middle (class)

Vehicle should require far more obvious "receipts" that the driver is still actively engaged.

Wise choice, lest the sleep be eternal, and the long trip never ending...

The title and the video do not go together. There is no crash shown in the video.

They aren’t “self-driving.” The driver is required to be alert and at the wheel at all times. That is not self-driving.

The ads tell you you can laugh and talk while the car drives itself. The reality is that you can’t. It’s a fraud.

I don’t use “cruise control” because I am in control at all times. I don’t want the stupid machine accelerating or slowing down. I make the decisions in my car, not a dumb machine.

I’m all for driver assist technology. I want to know at all times who’s near me, on which side, and if they are in the lane I want to be in or not. I want better vision in back and when backing out of a parking space at the mall.

I don’t want the danmed thing taking over the controls, and them blaming me when something doesn’t work right.

Of course they aren't. And the people in the video are idiots for thinking they are.
