Hey, looks like that car was driven by one of the locals from my neck of the woods!
I'm beginning to think even the stupidest AI will drive better than 2/3 of the residents of my state and 3/4 of the residents of a neighboring state I will decline to name. It's against the law to text or talk on cellphones where I live but I see it constantly. The drivers will not hesitate to mow you down. I'm very rarely a pedestrian and very law abiding and considerate when I am one. But I've got some chilling anecdotes that are too long to recount here.
It's getting almost impossible to avoid close encounters with accidents almost anytime you decide to get on a road where I live. Even our police drive pretty recklessly and abuse the use of their sirens and lights. The school bus drivers pull some very dangerous maneuvers, too. And the amount of roadkill we have breaks my heart.
I do hope this tech will be viable and take over by the time I'm a little old lady. I'd love to have it in place now but I'm a realist. I know this isn't happening overnight.
It'll take time but they'll get there, but yeah - I know what you mean. This morning I saw someone pulling out of a petrol station...on their phone! Double fail!
