Am I the only one a little bit concerned by this? Don't get me wrong, I can see all the positives to come out of driverless cars, and the tech behind it astounds me.
My issue is I love driving, and once the world sees how much safer the world is without driver error, would driving manually eventually be banned?
I realise I'm essentially putting my enjoyment over people's safety, but what can I say, I love driving. Just have to hope riderless motorcycles don't come along anytime soon.
Having said all that, it's just occurred to me that if all cars we're driverless, then motorcycle crashes would be massively reduced. Maybe banning manual driving wouldn't be so bad.
If you look at how current safety systems are designed, there will probably be a manual mode with the car taking over if it thinks your doing something stupid. There will probably always be places where you can drive cars built without such systems.
That said, if you want to drive a 3,000+ LB vehicle at ridiculous speeds and or in a completely unsafe manor on public highways, Fuck You no. Your desire to take stupid risks for fun ends when it puts others at significant risk, you sociopath.
