I agree!

"Tora,
Never. It will be an offence to be in charge of an autonomous while intoxicated. And and driving licence holder will have to be at the wheel. " - so what's the heffing point then?

If I jhave to sit in the driving seat sober I might as well drive the kin car as now! What about these 200mph super highways you were on about gromit?

There wouldn't be any point, that's why ultimately you won't need to be there and the AI will effectively be your chauffeur.

I don't think "autonomous" is to be given its dictionary definition, otherwise the cars would be free to go off without you.

Not really off to much of a start precision wise when the title's 'close enough'.
It all feels like some boffin got himself outside of a six pack one night while watching one of these automatic vacuum cleaners bouncing off the furniture and thought "what if...."

Jeremy Clarkson says that he had a very close call in a driverless car in an incident that could have proved fatal.

That's exactly why he was there as a test dummy. Find the outstanding issues and patch them.

OG "There wouldn't be any point, that's why ultimately you won't need to be there and the AI will effectively be your chauffeur. " - but gromit said I'd have to be there, oh BTW AI does not exist.

[Old_Geezer]

IMO it's the existence of RI that is questionable.
Oh, but then I remember me.

Perhaps we need a few Automatons in Government to replace people like the Chancellor we have at present.

Hans.

It is just a question of when, not if, this will happen.
