Companies are spending millions developing them but I wonder if they have actually done the research to see if people want and would like them.

I for one would never want to give up driving my own car. UNLESS they make the cars work on long road trips where you literally have to pay zero attention. Not the case right now as far as I understand.

Thoughts? Would you get one over a traditional car?

I'd assume there would eventually be some skynet bs going around, and the cars would be programed to go 140mph into on coming traffic.

Self driving cars are the future. They are safer, faster and more efficient.

I don't mind so long as i'm still allowed to drive a car if i choose to.

I like driving personally. But there are definitely uses for a self-driving car. Like if you have a long trip you have to make. you could just put it in auto pilot and sleep the whole way there.

Hell yeah.

I utterly hate driving. Rather a computer do the work instead of relying on my slow reaction time, dealing with anxiety over it, and the fact I am prone to tunnel focus and fail to notice things that would be pretty fucking essential to notice when driving.

That would never happen, since humans are very very bad at following the rules. If there are self driving cars around, it is much much safer for all of them to be self driving and no humans in it.

I will only accept self-driving cars when it's required law and everybody is using self-driving cars. That way, there will be no reckless speeders for the car AI to deal with.

I love driving, but like others said, it ain't truly gonna be revolutionary unless all cars are self driving and constantly communicating with each other. I imagine speeds would increase and make travel super fast at that point.

I don't understand this assumption that self-driving cars will just explode if someone is speeding or doesn't use an indicator.

I mean this is like the third thing these developers would have thought of.

1. How to drive.
2. How to find directions.
3. What to do if someone else is driving poorly

Yes. In fact, I actually rode in Google's self driving car and it was fairly relaxing.

I like driving, but I don't want to drive everywhere and I can't be everywhere. When I have kids, it would be nice for a self driving car to pick them up and drop them off sometimes.

I can't wait, personally.

They will eventually (and probably in our lifetime) be faster, safer, cheaper, and I can do other things during the commute like watch a show or sleep.

That is the case, though. Uber managed to have a truck deliver beer from the north part of the USA to the south. While the "driver" paid attention, he never had to intervene.

that's fine, just prepare to pay more for insurance, waste more money on fuel (electricity at this point I guess) because human driving will be less efficient and be ostracized by younger generations who will grow up knowing manual drivers are the cause of all accidents on the road.

They'll basically be the drunk drivers of today.

We keep eliminating safety risks in society, and soon humanity will crumble. Taking risks is incredibly important and healthy for the human brain. Not too much, but a certain amount. If we arrive at a point where nobody is at risk of dying for anything, it will cause humanity to go extinct.

Self driven cars are risk of being hacked by other people. You wouldn't have any control at all over where you're going
