Self-Driving Cars

I like mine and that’s as far as I want to go. Mine has lane-keeping assist, which will keep the car in the lane. After ten seconds it’ll beep that I have to steer the car (even if I am steering the car). The ten seconds gives me time to gawk at the scenery.

They are not safe, many accidents already happened with the Tesla self driving cars.

I dont want one

The bad driver that I am would be glad to have this car.

I get so frustrated as I watch this commercial. Think of the teens that are begging the parents to buy one. Imagine what could go wrong there. Sometimes there is too much technology. My opinion.

We had a news here a few years ago that the driver couldn't stop because there was a problem with the automatic driving of the car

There will always be discrepancy and not safe.

I think if you are on a road by yourself, it's fine but with other cars, I'm not convinced.

They might be the latest thing coming but I still would not trust my life to a self-driving car

My daughter's car practically drives itself now, with the only exception is that you have to keep pressure on the steering wheel. I've driven it on a 5-hour road trip where I basically just had my thumb on the wheel with just enough pressure for the car to register my "grip." It did all the rest of the driving. I have no issues with self-driving cars. Their safety record couldn't possibly be any worse than the safety record of human drivers who are drunk, high, texting, putting on makeup, arguing, and whatever else takes their concentration off the road.

I would not feel comfortable being in the car that is driving itself. But then again I've been in an air tram (not sure if correct word) to get from the airport parking lot to the airport terminal. And that one doesn't have a conductor.

Technology can give you 99% result but then you still have 1% chances that glitch may occur. If I can take a small nap while going to my Home Town which generally took 9 hours of driving then it would be a relief. But then these cars should support in Indian roads too.

You make a good point. I'm always slow to accept the latest technology. A major deterrent is the cost! But as much as I dislike driving, I think I'd rather do it myself until all the bugs are worked out of the vehicle. I do like the parallel parking features on those cars though.

ah, in my wheelhouse today! 1. ~80% of all car accidents are rear-end collisions. Driverless cars reduce that by 80% or more. That means car insurance rates go down, for everyone! 2. Human response time, is much slower than machine response time. that could further reduce accidents and make driving safer. 3. Driverless cars, DON'T HAVE HUMAN's Driving, which reduces the risk for everyone. They don't cut you off on the highway. THey don't fly into road rage and shot you.

I thing I'll be long gone before self driving cars are safe. If ever.

I agree with you completely. An accident waiting to happen.
