Driverless Cars.

I cannot imagine how anyone could possibly trust a driverless car with their life.

@jack-dodds, seeing how some human beings drive, I'm not so sure computer driven cars are a bad idea. 🙄

@jkuvakas I don't trust either.

I'm reading today that there are 17 fatality accidents being investigated with the teslas using the automated driving feature. 

These have all occurred since June of 2021. 

Leave me out.

@100ford2003, that is a scary figure. But it's nearly minimal compared to the total number of fatalities from human-driven cars since June of 2021. It's over 75,000 according to the NHSTA.

But a new car that can not drive it self still no longer gives you a direct connection to almost everything.  Latest cars steering is electric that is capable to over ride your input same for the brakes, if something goes wrong??  One of the reasons I sold my 2020 Explorer st, I didn't like fighting my own car.  My '22 Forester is almost as bad but I can turn off the pains and cover the notification light with electrical tape, better than the Ford I would have to lock things out every time I got into the car, back to default factory setting.

True JK, true. I'm on the road almost everyday here in SoCal and I can't believe what I see

All that being said, I don't think I could ever get accustomed to my car driving for me.  

If I was incapable of driving myself and my choices were using public transportation or my own driverless car, I would choose my driverless car.  Public transportation, at least here in LA, can be rather unreliable and not particularly safe.  Owning a driverless car would be more comfortable and much safer for senior citizens.  I'm looking forward to owning one in, say, twenty years!

Well said, Pete. I hadn't thought of that. I agree!
