I was listening to an interview of Dr. Agus last week. He mentioned that driving is a good brain exercise, figuring out patterns on how to get to a destination. Go home from work a different way each night. We think less and less with all the computers nowadays.
Will driverless cars be able to avoid potholes or objects lying on the road?
Driverless cars are already capable of avoiding hazards like large potholes or objects in the road. Computers and sensors are only going to become more powerful. It’s only a matter of time before driverless cars become the predominant means of transportation for us.
But that doesn’t mean we need to think any less. It just means we will have to change what we think about. I’d much rather use the 2 hours I spend commuting to work every day to read a book or watch a movie than spend it focused on a boring, repetitive chore like driving.
Of COURSE the crash rates are lower.
Computers don’t have opposable thumbs to use their State Farm claims reporting apps.
can you make a rational comparison with a ratio of 3 billion to one (the miles comparisons)?????

Just me or does it seem like all these miles & miles of testing are still done on a track somewhere, not in the real world?
The testing is on the road in the real world. I live in South Florida and recently passed a Google Car.
