Driverless cars

[Matey]

Hi. Would like to know peoples thoughts on driverless cars. I'm dreading them.

Not really the correct place for this conversation I guess.

Should be in the sub-forum "The Pub".

Sure as hell don't know what this has to do with 20+ year old Commodores?

Coz the way some people drive them they may as well be driverless ?

I thought it was maybe because there were lots of driverless VR/S in wreckers yards?

Lol. It's because we're motor enthusiasts that love our cars & driving. Believe me they are coming sooner than you think, and human driving will be banned.

I'm driving my wife's Santa Fe and it feels like driverless cars are just a few steps away. Adaptive cruise control, lane assist, auto breaking it's almost there. But I doubt here in Australia, particularly in the West, cars could ever be totally driverless. The computer assists require perfect road conditions, as soon as you drive on unmarked roads, or with other idiot drivers the assists don't work. So unless the government can design perfect roads and have them maintained 100 per cent of the time I doubt driverless cars will ever happen.

One thing I'm curious about is if you have an accident with a driverless car are you automatically at fault as it will be assumed that the other car was programmed to do nothing wrong, if the other car is to found to be at fault then who is responsible? The owner could say the manufacturer should be responsible for damages seeing as they programmed it. I see many court cases coming up if we go down the path of driverless cars especially when someone dies

I’d like to see how an autonomous car changes a flat tyre
