Re: Self Driving Car Gets an Accident
The woman had two funbags, but I don't know how effective they were in an accident.  |

Re: Self Driving Car Gets an Accident
1. Looks like whatever steering gadget that the "driver" grabbed was down at his knees.  I wonder if his braking device was a joystick as well. 2. I wonder if any of the dozing pax knew that the "driver" was operating his phone, not the vehicle. |

Re: Self Driving Car Gets an Accident
Looked like there was a steering wheel to me. I wonder if he might have made things worse by excessive and panicked "control inputs" when he grabbed the wheel? |

Re: Self Driving Car Gets an Accident
One of the dumbest inventions humankind has ever conceived. There are too many hazards to trust a computer. I had an articulated lorry coming towards me the other day with farm machinery on it (ploughshares) and it made a turn with me on the outside. All I could fixate on was the load on the trailer and planning my escape route if it shifted. Nothing happened as it was well secured, but a self driving car would have got me killed. I can't ever see a computer having the same level of forethought as the human mind. They don't and never will proactively imagine a scenario and formulate a strategy to avoid it. |

Re: Self Driving Car Gets an Accident
That's what you get for treating your car like a bus or train, awareness-and-responsibility-wise. Self-driving vehicles are turning out to be, ultimately, a societal corrective mechanism taking out those stupid enough to buy one AND use that system.
