Quoted from SadSack:
Are you kidding? I'm well aware of Tesla's failures. It can't even come out of a parking lot hitting people or causing wrecks. Let me make it perfectly clear to you in engineering terms: "All robotics require an isolated window of operation to be safe." The current state of affairs is "unsafe" by definition. Disruptive technology simply means acting illegally until enough politicians and lawsuits are paid off. Self driving cars require designated "human free" highways to be "safe". I'm sorry you are in such a naive stupor that you can't observe simple reality. How many innocent people will need to be killed by roaming robots before the technology is outlawed? How many innocent people must be killed before retribution will be meted out against the business men that profit from them? Do the math. Self-driving vehicles on public highways are a non-starter.
You asked if self driving cars would come before or after flying cars. I showed you a video of a "self driving" car. Yes or No?. Then you go off on a tangent about hitting people, lawsuits, retribution, etc.
There are many more examples of self driving vehicles with excellent, accident free, miles. That is what it will come down to. When it is proven that cars can go more miles without an accident than a human can, the regulators and insurance companies will insist on self driving options. You say "non-starter" are you purposefully being ignorant?
For someone who is a "Alpha" that doesn't care what others think of them you sure are argumentative about everything.
