who wants hands free driving ?

Why are the car makers pushing this ?


So you can sit in the drivers seat and not use your hands. What are you going to do then.....read a book......eat more food ? Most people prefer to drive their vehicles.

Vita, we found common ground on this issue. I don’t understand why anyone would want this !

This is just the very beginning of new tech. The possibilities are endless.

Then you will be able to sit in your car.....talk on your phone....listen to the radio.....eat hamburgers.


But that's what everybody does now.

My Acura has a feature where you can take your hands off the wheel and the car steers itself for a short period of time. You can see the wheel move slightly as the car maintains it's lane. It only works on a straight road if the car senses a curve a message flashes, "Driver Assistance Needed". Self Driving Cars are definitely in the future but I prefer to have control over the car.

A truly "self driving car" will have to be told where to take you. That information will become an electronic foot print some where. Big Brother is already trying to track everyone ....... why make it easier??

[DNinja69]

The tech exists for self driving vehicles and for transport I think it will be a quick revolution once we have some infrastructure to ship goods via dedicated AI pathways. For personal transport some areas are more feasible for the concept but I would prefer more driver assist features to improve safety and keep traffic flowing. It may be another 25 years or more but at some point AI will be better drivers than we are

Who will pay the judgements and cover the liabilities when the cars crash ?


The drive no longer has responsibility. It seems like all the burden will be the car manufacturers.
Which is a tremendous liability to take on, on their part.
If they have deep pockets, attorneys will be rabid and come out of the woodwork.

No, there will be some sort of clause somewhere which will take any legal burden off of their ass which would prevent the consumer from suing the manufacturer sort of like the Vaccine companies can't be sued.

[VitaMan]

Someone or some company will be sued.



Sounds like you are saying there will be car crashes in the future, and no one will have to pay for the damages.
