Eventually I could see mass adoption to where few people actually drive. If you don't have to then why would you?"

Because some people enjoy driving.

I love my self driving car. Automatically passes on the interstate and lane changes after passing. I have to be behind the wheel and eye monitor requires that I can’t look away for no more than 5 seconds.

When it gets to the point I can hop in a car and arrive hundreds of miles away when I wake up from a nap...I'd be down for that.

I've ridden with my wife. I have more confidence in computers. It's unlikely the computers will swerve all over the road while looking at everything but the road.

Can you tip them extra to “follow that car”?

Easily. People have no problem jumping in an uber driven by some crack head

This is likely way safer

And less smelly and the cars are new and there's no weird music on the radio and the driver isn't carrying on a convo with his retard relative who's about to be deported

Certainly for short rides less than 3 miles and under 55 mph. Probably not otherwise

A study was done on this and they found that if given a choice, people simply wanted the quickest method of transport regardless of whether it was driverless or human driven.

Well that just makes most people, idiots. There is no logical case to be made over choosing a human driver that is statistically more prone to accidents, over the autonomous car that is roughly 80% less likely to have an accident.

Plus, as others have mentioned, I don't want to hear about Abu's family and country woes when I'm trying to vacation with my family.

They are statistically safer than human drivers already.


b/c the average driver is a fricking idiot.

It is not going to drive safer than I will, and i'm not putting my life in the hands of a driverless car.

Wrong. Your reaction time cannot outpace the automated system which is processing and calculating faster than your brain and body can react.

We all like to think we can handle anything, and you might be a safe driver which is great, but you're still more likely to have an accident than these cars.

Is yours subscription based? Can you only subscribe the months you use it? I have a short commute to work, but I would like to have it for longer trips.

I disagree.

and i dont' want a computer making the decision on whether to hit something or brake/swerve to avoid it. I'm capable of making that split second decision.

My sentiments exactly. I'm way more comfortable when driving and no way in hell I'm getting in a driverless car to have it take me somewhere.

They can't build a washer that lasts more than about 5 years now that gets used maybe 3 times a week on average and they want me to trust a driverless car that gets used several times a day......HELL NO.
