Not for myself (petrolhead) but for all those numbnuts behind the wheel that are either holding everything up, cutting you off without using indicators, not paying attention (to the road I mean not FB) etc etc.
They will massively use autonomous driving which means you can better enforce right of way and get a move on. An autonomous car will pay attention (at least if it isnt a Tesla....  )) and not enforce its way into your drive lane (here we dont have keep your lane) etc etc. That would make the manufacturer responsible I think...
Now (here in europe at least) when you come to a crossing and you have right of way a car will try to cut you off when he can fit his car in the gap, expecting you to brake, but I think an autonomous car wont ever do that if it functions properly (you dont have to brake but you dont want to injure yourself or your car....)
On the other hand, if an autonomous car can miss something as large as a trailertruck...what happens to pedestrians and cyclists? |
You make a great case for AV's! I've been in the camp that at least 40% (that's lowballing it!) of drivers should not be driving on the road because of their inattentiveness and the flat out danger they impose on others. If we can just get it so those jokers are sold on AV, so that you and I don't have to deal with their crap driving... I'm sold.
