It's beyond me how anyone can get into a driverless car and trust it to drive them around. I personally think it should be illegal to run anything like this on public streets. My cinnamons exactly. As an old Boomer I've seen a lifetime of horrific traffic accidents and death and there's no way I'd trust a car to drive itself. I'm sure 200 years from now they will think we were primitive cavemen for driving cars ourselves,but right now,no way. Its typical of this younger generation,trying to invent a machine/device to do EVERYTHING for them.So lazy.

"I have driven a Tesla." Acknowledgement is yet the 1st step in the process.

I read that there wasn't even a person in the driver's seat when the wreck occurred.

"I have driven a Tesla." Acknowledgement is yet the 1st step in the process. It had the most torque of any vehicle I have ever driven or piloted. Those things are fast off the line. I would like to own one, just never got around to it.

From what I’ve seen on the roads, autopilot would be a massive improvement for at least half of the drivers out there, even if it does fail from time to time.

In my town, actually having a Driver's License would also be a plus. We'll save insurance, or actually owning the car, for another discussion.

The technology will get better and eventually it will reduce crash deaths to near zero. It will never advance enough for me to trust it. We're talking about electronic and mechanical stuff that's bound to fail at some point. At least with someone behind the wheel there's a chance of avoiding disaster. Same was probably said about automatic transmissions, now they’re proven to be more efficient than manual transmissions (not that transmissions are as potentially dangerous as a driverless car, but I’m speaking about automation). I’m not saying driverless cars will be ready or the norm in five, 10 or even 20 years, but they will be the norm. I could see roads being redesigned with sensors that the sensors on the car react to. I’m not even saying I trust the technology, but to say there won’t be driverless cars is silly. And they will reduce vehicle related deaths to near zero. People behind the wheel are responsible for the majority of vehicle disasters now. We are the reason there are crashes. It has a long way to go, but it will happen.

I have no doubt this stuff will be a reality at some time in the future. My "never" statement was made from the perspective of the rest of the lifetime of a 56 year old man. If they're going to change my mind they'd better hurry. For now, I still say a crappy driver has a much better chance of avoiding an accident than a driverless car with no one controlling it.

Crappy drivers cause accidents now. Automation will greatly reduce accidents. You may not trust technology on that scale, but it’s better than a LOT of drivers on the road today causing accidents. Otherwise, accidents wouldn’t be as big of a problem as they are now. Cars are safer than ever, yet how many people still die everyday because of careless driving? It will make the roads much safer. Just because yo don’t understand or trust it doesn’t make it untrue.

Amazing to see our seniors ready to blindly p our freedoms away. Accidents will decrease because you will not have access to the roads like you do know. No go, no accident. If you think that is conspiracy theory you can look up "google maps to start directing users to eco friendly routes". Your route and passage would be dictated what ever feels good to the owner of your gps system that day. We already know google is inbed with china. how many folks ready to spend 80k on a vehicle that doesnt go where you want it to. A big reason for bad drivers today , is distracted drivers. Many are fumbling with their cell phones. 9 times out of 10 when I pull up to a bad driver they have their nose buried in their phones. Even seen a guy drive up a concrete wall starring at his phone. Bad drivers are big business for the city. Scary to see folks still think these mega corps have their best interest at heart.

Did they finally figure out how fast they were going? news reporters states the vehicle never went above 30mph. I skipped over the article but it sounds like non one was in the drivers seat. Tesla says some one was driving. If no one in the drivers seat were they in the back seat.
