I'm a car guy, I love driving, and I can't wait for driverless cars to catch on. I would much rather share the road with many AI drivers than drivers who don't respect their car or the rules of the road,(reply>), My great fear is that once driverless cars become common, our old manual cars will become too expensive to insure, or outright illegal.,(reply>), You just want driverless cars around you so that they don't call the authorities when you F off!!  😂😂,(reply>), Agreed. The worst thing about trying to go places on the road is often other people who just don't have their brains switched on, or are deliberately acting in a malicious manner. An old 8-bit micro hooked up to the GPS and a 360 degree obstacle/range sensor would be an upgrade from that sort of thing, never mind the state of play already reached with prototype self driving cars.<br><br>The biggest problem with SDCs really is that driving <i>well</i> is something that requires you to be fully engaged with the process and thinking about what you're doing, rather than just autopiloting with your mind on other things. And that makes it into an AI-hard challenge, rather than one of simple automation like what you would use for porter robots in a factory.
