Self-driving vehicles ?
« on: March 20, 2018, 05:17:32 am »
A self-driving car operated by Uber struck and killed a pedestrian who was walking her bicycle in Tempe, Ariz., Sunday night. The incident could be the first pedestrian death involving a self-driving vehicle.    What is your stand on self driving cars ? I think it's all insanity.  People are just getting to darn lazy is how I see it.

Here in las vegas they had the first self driving trolly and in the first hour of operation there was collision with a truck.  They are trying it again.

I've been hearing news about self driving cars for the future, but I didn't realize that they were already on the roads. How sad that someone was killed.  There's no telling what our future roads will look like.  I know you can't stop progress, but sometimes these new innovations just seem unnecessary!

Self-driving cars are nuts.

They cannot think/process so many of the things going on with humans around them.

It is a dangerous idea. Their wanting a cool new toy driving will cost people their lives or cause much harm...when they malfunction (and they will), or like that poor lady coming out of the dark.

If they the man in back had been driving, he could have run off the side of road to perhaps avoid hitting her.

I like technology.  I think we are still WAY far off before this becomes the norm and accidents like this are the reason why.

Do not like the idea at all.  To me this is for lazy people and if you are that busy texting and working on your computer take public transportation

I don't like the idea. People are becoming too dependent on machines.

In my opinion, if there is one thing worse than some of the drivers that are on the road these days, it's a driverless vehicle. 

The idea was never a good one if you ask me.  All I see with this whole thing is one miserable problem after another.  :bad:

I think uber wants then so they dont have to pay people. I think the driver less car will happen but will take a few years. Think people would like them if there safe.

I don't trust self driving cars it's far as I could throw one! To me it's just a scary as having a drunk driver on the road.  There obviously needs to be a lot more testing but I don't see the need for self driving cars at all.  :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

    I know it is terrible! Self-driving or not.
    I wish someone would invent a motor vehicle
    that kills no one.

I like technology as much as the next person, but self driving cars, no way.  I think we are years away from that concept.  Next they will have self flying planes.
