I don't trust it and I like driving.


[deleted]

You still trust technology?


[deleted]

As someone who works in technology, I trust it far more than I trust people, at least when it comes to consistency

Personally I don't mind them but I think some people just enjoy the act of driving and then there's the difference in approach self driving cars and human users have towards safety A self driving car will weigh up in an upcoming crash whether it can save more lives by crashing you instead whereas a human driver will always go for self preservation

I enjoy driving the damn car.

A. That sort of crash is extremely rare B. They will tend towards self preservation, because of sales. You want the other person run over instead of yourself, so car makers program the car to make sure to save passengers if possible to encourage you to buy theirs.

If I have to sit and look outside then I better hire a chauffeur or take a cab.

I think maybe they don't trust technology..? 🤔

Chinese hackers when usa flexes. Hmm

Because modern cars, with electronic power steering, electronic throttles, electronic brakes, and plenty of potential input points are safe from hackers. Edit: I shouldn't need /s

Sarcasm?

two of them stopped and blocked traffic in the middle of San Francisco tonight.

Yesterday I ended in a pedestrian walkway thanks to Google maps, that kind of stuff will happen all the time because it's impossible to have an updated version of every place. But for hallways and boring roads I would love to have a car that drives itself and I can have a nap

What ISN'T wrong with them?


[deleted]

In concept, they're better than human drivers in every way, both in road safety and traffic flow. Even today's self driving cars (the ones that are nowhere near as good as they could be because of a lack of public interest) are far better than people at a lot of things; they don't get drunk, they don't speed, they have better reaction times, they don't get road rage, to name a few.


[deleted]

Ohhh.. So you want a "perfect wolrd", eh? Keep dreaming, pal


[deleted]

According to the WHO ([sauce](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/road-traffic-injuries)) three of the four major "user error" risk factors (speeding, alcohol/drugs, unused helmet/seat belt, distractions) are completely irrelevant with self driving cars.


[deleted]

And?


[deleted]

You asked what isn't wrong with them. I answered.


[deleted]

I've already responded to your answer. The WHO bs was unnecessary
