Driverless cars, benefit or threat? - NorthernRaider - 8 November 2015
RE: Driverless cars, benefit or threat? - Carnebwen - 8 November 2015
I don't like them because I drive / ride motorbikes. I get enjoyment from the act of travelling so probably wouldn't use a driverless vehicle.
Also there's the whole "car kills me to save 6 kids" type shenanigans people are worried about with the programming.

I can see the headlines now:
"Miracle - Programmer Survives 78 car pile-up....."
A witness said "it was as if he was charmed, the other cars just seemed to part in front of him...."
If you're paranoid, simply remove "programmer" and insert "VIP".

I find the prospect of those things scary. How do you programme a car to avoid problems? Haven't they had the first spate of accidents already in the US?
