Would you trust a fully autonomous vehicle to drive you around?

Question

love_conquers_lust · Accepted Answer

Yes. Humans are just as bad. They will run you off the road. Autonomous cars can communicate near instantaneously without quarrel.

Once truckers are rendered obsolete with cross country driving, people will be more comfortable with driverless cars when they realize they’ve been driving beside them all along. Then everybody will pretty much be getting taxi’d around.

Frankly, I’d think the women here would support it in the name of equality. There is no “equality” in my family when it comes to driving. The women all have licenses, but men do most of the driving because they prefer the passenger seat. The men prefer the passenger seat, let the car do it. So what’s the real difference?

Do not, will not ever. It's neat for people who are physically incapable or otherwise dangerous to themselves and others to be behind the wheel, but otherwise it's just another dumb gimmick to jack up the price of vehicles and ultimately gatekeep them from the plebians who can't afford them.

Im also a bit baffled as to why car manufacturers would even want to develop that technology when it basically guarantees that if ANY accidents happen, the lawsuit is going straight to them. Once the novelty of "new" technology evaporates, it's pretty much nothing more than a lose-lose for them.

laurieluvsit · Accepted Answer

No thanks, they have had crashes with those things. Maybe when they are 100% guaranteed reliable I would think about it.

katiesmuff · Accepted Answer

No! It would take some time to believe and trust in something like that.

Craftsman · Answer

In brief, NO!!

Technology is all fine and good, and does a whole lot of good. However, the fully autonomous cars have taken a lot of lives by crashing into other vehicles or inanimate objects.

It does make a difference who one listens to on the subject as to which is more safe; autonomous, semi-autonomous, or manually operated.

As for me, I'm not ready to bet my life on the technology being right.

Lliam · Answer

Nope. I don't trust them. I prefer to be behind the wheel and in control.

With the right technology, someone can take control of the car with you in it.

I also don't want a vehicle tracking my every movement and listening to my conversations.

mstbooblover · Answer

My feelings about autonomous vehicles are mixed, but sure enough I'd like to have at least a test drive. Maybe it's only a matter of getting accustomed. A human driver can make mistakes, while an artificial intelligence may display some bugs. In my case having a autonomous car may come in handy, because I don't even have a driver licence ;0)

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Autopilots are very common in aviation and at sea as well.

It still requires human supervision, but generally I'd feel ok with it.

I just don't see yet how it would work on my motorbike. And all the enjoyment of driving and of breaking the rules would be gone :(

Ευδεμονια · Answer

Absolutely NOT. I live one of the countries the Google car had an incident in, and this was for excessive prudence. Autonomous vehicles here will be only an harm for everyone.

HoraceB · Answer

Never. We've all seen now how many bugs are in even fairly simple programs. Why would you ever trust a vehicle driven by something so error-prone that can kill you?

Adam1978 · Answer

It needs to build my trust in it like everything. But after that sure that would be a blessing and a serious freedom if the price is right.

Pudsmucker · Answer

I do not trust automated vehicles. I must have some form of control. Last few months I've heard about accidents that happen in Texas where the guy put his vehicle into automotive mode and was killed. The vehicle failed to stop at a red light.

exitseven · Answer

I am psyched about having a self driving car. I want to just sit there and watch a movie on my laptop.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

A friend of mine is friends with a guy that helped design them and even HE refuses to use them because they''re so dangerous!!

Drumlin2001 · Answer

If every vehicle on the road was automated then I'd be more ok with it. I'd trust my judgement over a computers when it comes to other drivers

Agent_Elflord · Answer

No, but I’m a little more trusting if it still has a steering wheel and pedals. If they stop installing steering wheels and pedals, I’ll avoid that shit.

jshm2 · Answer

You trust a sat nav, to guide you around. An AV would just be a step up from that, is all.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm not sure, my driving record is pretty good. I think this is an Idea I'd have to warm up to over time.

One thing I have heard is that self driving cars could virtually eliminate auto insurance. I like that possibility.

Ryfyle · Answer

I trust a Fully Autonomous vehicle to drive into traffic once I speak ill about the powers that be. Imagine buying your own slave cage on wheels.

Fireguy17 · Answer

Not really. Computers are not 100% reliable, and it is possible for them to be hacked as well.

XXblack88 · Answer

Maybe if it's been out to the public for a few years.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Nope. I don’t like all this newer tech they are putting into cars i don’t trust it.

sheikalana · Answer

As long as it has been tested before and proven to be safe I why not?

libsaretards · Answer

Hell naw, to the naw naw naw. HELL NAW! To the naw naw naw

cth96190 · Answer

No, never. I want a human driver, preferably myself.

Luopio27 · Answer

If you mean thise self driving cars, fuc them. Soon we won't even have jobs for public bus drivers cuz those terminators are taking over.

ArtemisSilver · Answer

Yes. Probably more than a person after it's been on the market for a while

RedThread · Answer

Absolutely when it's perfected. Who wants to drive places when you can just chill and relax?

raddisn · Answer

Since the auto driving cars are a new feature, im not going to trust it quite yet until the bugs are worked out.

Anonymous · Answer

Not really. I’m a control freak so, I’ll always be behind the wheel.

kellytheman · Answer

Yeah I think I be okay with it but I would like when it could switch to where I can drive it also.

Charliefretz329 · Answer

No friggin way! My gps often tells me to drive off cliffs and such…

msc545 · Answer

Possibly, if I had the ability to take control very quickly.

Anonymous · Answer

By the time I'll really need one, I probably will.

Emilymaybebabyss · Answer
