So you have to sit in the driver's seat, have your feet near the pedal, have your hands hovering over the wheel and be looking out for hazards and this is "full automation"? lol. I'll stick to my manual ICE thanks. The technology simply isn't there yet.
When I can "drive" to a bar, get hammered and then get in the back seat and have my car drive me home, then I would be interested. Honestly though, I don't foresee automated cars being available to consumers. Companies running taxi services perhaps. Just imagine the insurance implications for a regular person. You're sitting there reading a book or something with the car driving itself and then boom, accident. Imagine the investigations. The manufacturer trying to wriggle out of taking responsibility, your insurance company doing the same. It would be a nightmare.
Absolutely. It's one thing for an autopilot system for planes where the flight paths are uncongested and the chances of something suddenly appearing is practically zero. But on the ground, with unpredictable people, road signs, weird road systems and general potential hazards around every corner? Fuck that.
Well yeah. You know what I mean though. Another craft isn't suddenly going to appear a few meters in front of a plane without anyone knowing in advance unless we're dealing with some black site stealth craft or an alien craft.
