| Topic | How do you feel about SELF-DRIVING CARS? |
| Blaqthourne 01/13/18 1:28:12 AM #81: | I'm all for it. I wouldn't mind at all going on a road trip and dozing when whenever I start getting tired. MannerSaurus posted... but there are certain situations where computer failure would lead to extremely deadly accidents. A human knows not to drive a car off of a bridge, or not to change lanes if you can physically see another car (provided they aren't in a blind spot). But what if the sensors fail, and give bad feedback? But would a human that fell asleep or is completely plastered know not to drive off a bridge? As for the rest of those issues, if the sensor on one car fails, the sensors on all the surroundings cars that have not failed would sense the bad car and would react appropriately. The impression I get is that if it doesn't work 100% perfectly 100% of the time, it's not worth implementing. It also seems like the people who bring up the "Well, what if yours glitches?" ignore that all the other vehicles would adjust to yours, or that one vehicle's malfunction would somehow cause all the others around it to suddenly not work, too. --- Montreal Expos (1969-2004) http://www.backloggery.com/Blaqthourne Now playing: Cosmic Fantasy 2 (TG-CD) -- started 11/12/2017 ...
