Quoted from rai:I’m sure we will have a driverless car in our lifetime (I mean in the next 30 years) but I’m curious what your thoughts are what this future will look like?
1) kids will be able to go to point A-B without any adults (what age of kids will be the cutoff?)
2) auto cars will replace all Uber and Lyft and taxi and busses (what will happen to those millions of people who are employed as drivers)?
3) auto cars and driver cars will be mixing on roads (not all or none situation) how will that look?
4) do you want to be an early adopter or wait and see?
5) fear of hackers or terrorists using cars inappropriately?
6) what else?
What happens at a four way stop sign when two cars come to an intersection and the car with a driver to the right is a fraction of a second later than the driverless car, and the driver is to the right and believes they got there at the same time? The driver, being to the right and thinking they got there at the same time, will probably go and then that will be up to the programmers of the driverless cars on how to avoid a problem caused by the driverless car not having human reasoning, common sense, and intelligence. There are so many variables and scenarios that are going to have to be dealt with for driverless cars. I personally am not looking forward to the transition period and kind of hope it does not happen until I am gone, but I know that it likely will be sooner than I would want.
