grayhair Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Wonder what insurance companies will offer liability insurance for these self-driving vehicles and at what price? If one runs into me I'm going to sue the living crap outta them. http://www.oann.com/u-s-opens-investigation-into-fatal-crash-in-tesla/ Edited July 2, 2016 by grayhair 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45875-no-thanks-ill-drive-the-thing-myself/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I saw that on TODAY this morning. I guess that is natural selection? If you are crazy(dumb) enough to rely on your car to keep you safe(ie: drive for you) then you get what you get. I'm sorry for the family and friends, but I don't care I am just smart enough to NOT rely on my car to drive, yet. Reminds me of the stories from way back, someone driving a camper, put it on cruise control and got up to use the bathroom and crash. Yup, here's your sign.

Timmyb Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 And tesla state that the driver is ultimately responsible. So what's the point of an autonomous vehicle that needs the driver to be 100% alert at all times? Why not just buy a normal car?

Vladislav Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Seems like we are happy guys so far. Because we don't meet those cybermonsters animals on the roads. No doubt they will appear. Soon. Because you can't fix indeed. And with a sledgehammer either.

You'd be more prone to fall asleep or otherwise not paying attention if you are just sitting there monitoring the autopilot and not actually engaged in the driving. These things are just a novelty at this point. Just something you can brag to your friends that you have a car with autopilot. Tesla says they've sold 20,000 of these things. That's a whole lot of them running around to watch out for. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45875-no-thanks-ill-drive-the-thing-myself/#findComment-338432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) They need to have an automatic buzzer, like train engineers, that they have to hit every minute or so to keep them "aware" of their surroundings. If you want to ride the highways and NOT drive..........take a bus. Oh wait, they crash too? Edited July 7, 2016 by Freightrain 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
