    Read the article below titled “Self-Driving Vehicles Meet Their Match When Snow Creates Sensor Blindness”…has the US Safety Agency read it?

    And when hackers decide to play demolition derby or grand theft auto with random driverless vehicles…who is going to be held responsible for the resulting death and damages?

      The hackers would be held responsible.

      Won’t the attorney’s have fun suing each and every component manufacturer of these cars plus the manufacturer of the auto. Volvo better have very deep pockets.

    So, driver not required = all occupants could be under the influence and legally transported?
    If the AI of the vehicle wants to stop and air up the tires, can a human override this safety issue because they are in a hurry to get to a meeting or some other commitment?

      Nope, Crain says:

      The oh so smart AI would have already put air in the tires and be full of gas before it left!

    Will the Feds program my driverless vehicle to refuse the McDonalds drive thru because it has calculated I’m 20lbs overweight? “Sorry Jolly, we will have to drop you off at Chipotles. Don’t worry about the Salmonella, just make it chicken and no more than two taco’s or I’m not budging”

      As I recall, Chipotle’s had an issue with ecoli both in the west and the east. We will let all those Progressives eat there from now on and we will go to more healthful eating establishments.

      Jolly, I was going to lunch the other day and passed by Chipotle’s and there was only two patron cars in the lot. On the other hand, the Chik Fil A parking lot was jammed and the drive through had a line. Who do you think the customers prefer?

        Uhhh, certainly nothing related to Mexicans. We prefer Christian, anti-gay restaurants, of course. Am I right?

        It was comforting to me to have a Sausage McGriddle this morning for breakfast before coming to work.

      Not just Chipotle’s problem:

      I’m also not aware of that particular restaurant selling only to “Progressives”. Anyhow, I recommend visiting the below website weekly to stay on top of foods, restaurants, and grocery products you may want to choose to pass. Further, you may want to stay away from fast food in general. Not only is it horrible for you, but the handling of it is often times to blame. Those employees are in way too much of a hurry to be as sanitary as the meals require 100% of the time.

      Uh oh, Captain…I’m sensing that your comments and the data from your links may be based on actual science.
