    “We have to be a bit careful when we have real customers”

    Statement doesn’t really inspire commitment to safety. Glad a human life is worth “a bit”.

    Funny how they don’t talk about how driver’s especially American drivers love to drive and don’t want to give up that independence and control. What about ice, wind and driving rain storms? How does the computer handle that? If the car gets lost, due to unforeseen Minnesota road work, do it stop and ask directions when need or does the driverless car keep thinking it knows where it’s going as most computers are programmed by men? Probably not.

    What about ice, wind and driving rain storms? Does the driverless computer know how to not to stop on ice without flipping? How about when there is unforeseen traffic jam does the computer know how to get out and take you the back way? Also American love to drive and not give up control so the driverless are for people that liked to be controlled by another thing or person. If a route takes the computer somewhere it gets you lost does it stop and ask for directions? Or does it keep driving like it thinks it knows where it’s going. Probably not as computers are most computers are programmed by men.
