Driverless Cars

[RevoltTrain]

Do you think driverless cars will catch on? And if so would you be interested in a driverless car?

 

I personally would never be a fan of an autonomous car. I'm someone that loves to drive, it's such a relaxing and fun activity. Also I don't believe you can get a driverless car sideways

 

What's your opinion on driverless cars? I'll never buy one in my lifetime.

[Gale]

I hate driving, so I want one now.

[Weak1ings]

I wouldn't let any machine put my life on the line unless I was gone anyways...  Or incapable of doing such a thing.

[RevoltTrain]

I hate driving, so I want one now.

Why would you hate driving? Do you live in an area with a high population?

[Lolzious]

Would be good for a lot of people in the city.. But I wouldn't own one.

[Guest]

True potential of those cars is used only when every single car on a road is driverless. When there are still human driven cars their true potential wont be used.

I've driven in Chicago in the last week, and it wasn't too bad. Yeah it was kinda slow sometimes but it wasn't annoying at all. 

[Gale]

Why would you hate driving? Do you live in an area with a high population?

 

Yeah, pretty much. Driving takes so much concentration and energy from me.

[EmoPolarbear]

Bring on the driver less cars. Better if they have a recreation mode where a person can drive, for people that enjoy driving so they can take them to tracks and offroading and stuff like that.

[RevoltTrain]

Yeah, pretty much. Driving takes so much concentration and energy from me.

What's the population where you live?

[as96]

I would never buy one

[Gale]

What's the population where you live?

 

Almost 3 million people in this city.

[RevoltTrain]

Almost 3 million people in this city.

Ahh. Where I live is 100K

 

But I have driven in Chicago recently which is pushing 2.8 Million

there are a lot of older people or people with health conditions out there driving, and at a much higher risk of causing an accident, running off the road, hitting a pedestrian etc...

 

A huge upside to driverless vehicles would be helping slow traffic on a busy highway. People that change lanes non-stop in an attempt to stay in a moving lane cause so much traffic slow-down, while self-driving cars would probably turn off the highway and find an alternate route that would be overall quicker. At worst self driving cars wouldn't exacerbate slow traffic by weaving from lane to lane like an impatient child. In theory, self driving cars would be connected to a traffic network, and adjust speeds in sync to alleviate congestion, and prevent traffic jams. So much potential really, once you remove human error and bad decision making.

[MrRavens]

Let's say it was a perfect world, and this has been perfected. I'd probably get one. Though I do love driving, if I needed to do something on the road while I'm getting there, and there was no one else to drive; I'll just let it drive there for me while I'm working away. Especially for those boring long trips haha.

[wolfgang]

I want them to catch on so people will stay out of my way and actually go the speed limit.

The problem with that is they cost SO much money. I can never see an elderly individual spending that much for a new car that late in life

 

Google had a modified Prius that was autonomous and would cost 300K to buy. I can never see that being worth it. EVER

That would work only if everyone had a driverless car.

So do you never take planes because you're scared of autopilot?

[RevoltTrain]

Here everyone goes the speed limit, so that isn't a problem I face. The only thing I hate about driving is ricers. Ugh, if I see another Honda Civic with gold rims, a fart can, and spoiler, it won't be pretty

 

Oh wait. That's what almost every teen in my area thinks is cool

[techswede]

No. just no

 

It's bad enough that some jackass thought it was a great idea to remove the steering column and replace it with some ****** wiring. Because that's clearly not a bad idea at all .. /s

Error: Connection to steering rack and engine management lost... Brace for impact

that will change. once production is scaled to produce millions of them, the price will balance out. There's really no corporation or entity out there that would be opposed to self-driving cars, or try to stop it from happening, unlike electric cars.

[shiftberry]

The idiot who came up with this self-driving concept should be banned from this solar system.

Yea, but you wouldn't want a self driving car in the country. Where I live, you cant go 30km without having to swerve or slam on the brakes at least once or twice. Can't imagine how many people w

I know what you mean, my city is half metro area half country side, I've lived in both and driven both
