Where I am confused...
There is a driver with a heart attack in the car. there is an old lady in the road. Where does the machine or the family come into the picture?
It's about the machine having no choice. Someone will have an accident, either the family or the lady. The driver can't step in because he is suffering from the heart attack.
Would the driver somehow have a different choice?

I think we'll have 20 years of both self driving and piloted cars on the road, and a time when a car can be either.

I doubt that humans in the driver's seat will be legal for that long. The cost of allowing human drivers once computer drivers are available is astronomic. So much of the value and safety in the automated driving system requires getting all of the other cars off of the road.

Yeah but they can't even release an XBOX right now without a lot of bugs. I wonder how bad the initial release is going to be and how many fatalities we will have. It scares me actually.

But the right to drive is a right of adulthood. I understand what you're saying, but trying to make licenses a thing of the past would be more difficult than trying to track a package from the United States Postal Service.

Statements like this highlight just how out of touch with reality you are.
If people (and their policy makers) were actually honest enough to admit things like that, there would be a whole host of other issues not plaguing humanity right now.

There is no right to drive in any country in the world.

Privilege sorry, which is extended to almost everyone as soon as they hit a certain age.

@JaredBusch you're constantly driving from one place to another for long hauls. Would you feel more comfortable driving those same distances with self driving tractor trailers?
Or just commuter cars?

I can't imagine that we'll solve all the issues around it, and get the public to accept it in under 20 years, but I could be wrong.

What I feel comfortable with is not the discussion here.

But this one has big investors with money to make behind it.

And the insurance companies on the other side want humans to keep feeding their business model.

Well, unlike an XboX, cars kill people, so there will be a requirement that these things are like 99.999% no bugs. Think about airplanes, they don't release those with Xbox level bugs. They've had automated take off and landing for years now, actually they have automated everything now. I think the pilot is there more as a facade for passengers.

So far in testing they are already outperforming all but the best humans. Zero at fault accidents and nearly no not at fault accidents. The initial release has been out for a while and doing quite well... from several companies. Google and Tesla have both been on the road for a while now.

Actually I was literally about to say how good this is for insurance companies because it lowers their risk while they keep charging for it. Insuring someone in a self driving car is great because the insurance company basically never has to pay out; it can't be at fault, it will just sue the car maker.

That is very good to hear. I'm surprised considering the amount of variables

Yup, pilots are there as a tertiary backup thing and to make passengers comfortable. In fact, pilots taking over is normally what kills people. The automated systems are pretty amazing.

Only one variable really matters.... humans are terrible at driving. We react very slowly and don't pay attention well. And we get drowsy. And sneeze, cough, blink, have heart attacks, etc.

What are you talking.. Just because i cannot recall over half of my drive from St. Louis to Chicago yesterday evening?
