So you can drink & drive?
Cos we're already gridlocked and need even more vehicles on our roads
Drink and be driven. Soz mate. See what you mean. Taxi can do that and I haven't got to pay his tax or insurance or mot in full or plug it in or have a stupid camera poking out the top. I can tell him to turn up the radio or haggle with him about the best route or ask him questions about all sort of sh#t or pretend I'm asleep so I dont feel like answeing any of his.
I suppose it will happen. Used to be a guy with a red flag walking in front of a motor. Tessla new truck can do 5000 miles but the battery pack costs more than 5 diesel trucks don't it? Riderless bikes will be next.
Well, driving smoothly is the key to energy consumption; electric, diesel, petrol...
Nowhere near an expert of cars but do these electric cars have anything like the KERS systems in F1? Self-recharging would make them more acceptable to most people I'd have thought.
Proximity warning. There is a driverless Iceland truck about to cut you up with some minceless pies.
The only benefits I can see are commercial - deliveries and freight saving on the cost of drivers.
I can see the fraudsters rubbing their hands already.
I assume that these cars will be fully laden with cameras at every angle in case of accidents for insurance claims and the like...
Big Brother evolution?
You rarely see a Bobby on the streets these days, perhaps traffic police will be phased out too.
Imagine the scenario, an accident occurs and driverless police car and ambulance turn up!
I like to think I'm not a luddite. But who really benefits. The extra recreational time served up to pro drivers can be filled with job applications. Plus I like driving most of the time. Getting out of Asdas can be a pain which is why I park by The Cornwall. They should just fast forward to star trek or stop altogether. What's going to be the difficult third album as it were after the driverless car?
So... who exactly is stopping you driving?
EDIT: As for who benefits, well you don't get deliveries held up as driverless car decided to stop for a fag, a swift half pint oh and a Big Mac due to feeling a bit peckish along with stopping in at Argos for that thing their partner wanted them to get.
