Who'd have one? 

 

Personally can't imagine ever wanting one, but maybe if I'm still here in my 80s, could see the attraction then.

 

I can't see em catching on, but then again I said that about t'internet.

 

Actually, more I think about it, maybe they will, no more driving lessons/tests/licenses, can even see the day when it's illegal to drive.

 

 

 

Obviously we're decades away from having your car pick you up from the pub, but the sooner they get the ball rolling the better.

There'll be no pubs to get picked up from by the time they're out...

I don't think we are though, but that's a good point, could kill the taxi trade.

 

Or am I just being silly?

It needs killing.

 

Thieving c*nt from Metro held onto my nephew's iphone he dropped t'other week, track my iphone gave the address/vicinity the following day, same taxi outside, knocked on door, same driver answered "I haven't got it mate" door shuts, two seconds later trackmyiphone reports it disappears/is switched off.

 

Seems they've added theiving to their raison d'etre.

It was the lad who did the confrontation btw, I'd have booted the door in like The Terminator had he shut it in my face.

That's fucking shit, but you're talking about killing of an entire trade because of one thieving cunt.

Nah, there's a litany of incidents with that firm...

 

But I take the point, a cull of the cunty firms would suffice.

Deal.

I know of a similar story, nay 2, both with Metro, never ever use em.

 

Anyway, the more I think about these self driving cars, they could be a fucking disaster for the economy.

 

Self driving lorries?

My car picks me up form the pub most weekends. It does need the wife to drive it though.

Only a matter of time this, I can't wait!

 

due to work commitments it pans out at roughly 5 working weeks a year sat behind the wheel doing nothing productive. I'd rather be sat in the back with the car driving itself

 

On the whole I think accidents and traffic jams would be massively reduced with the element of human error being taken off the road

I'm unsure on this but look on with interest and caution. I hate travelling so if I could snooze all the way through then I'd like it. I do have reservations of wiping out an industry due to laziness. Rather than benefiting change

Better not let Samsung programme the cars there'd be carnage.

I can see it being allowed for motorway travel (probably a separate lane of the motorway) - in and around towns and villages there would be too many variables I would have thought.

 

It'll be great when it does get here, but I reckon we're a good period of time away from it yet, as you couldn't have "self driven" and "people driven" cars working together surely

A self driven car would need to be able to react to anything in reality

 

It could be someone running into the road, an animal,a tree falling etc

 

They won't be allowed onto the road unless they can react to absolutely all movement within the immediate vicinity of the vehicle

 

With that in mind I believe they could be on the road with standard cars

 

My wife's nan had her licence taken off her last year as she pressed the accelerator instead of the break and went into a wall at a T junction doing 30 mph. Third similar incident in 5 years

 

Far too many drivers shouldn't be on the road as it is, when the technology arrives to remove the human error the roads will be much safer

Surely it will only take one glitch and fatality before it's no longer considered reliable?

Test drove a Tesla a couple of months ago.

 

Didnt feel comfortable when it was "driving itself" but performance was like "Rita" at Alton Towers. 

 

0-62, less than 3 seconds

My cousins just had his delivered

 

Rapid off the line but far too much fucking about charging it up for me

Of course it will cause fatalities but as long as they cause much less than human drivers it will be a better system

 

Get the diggers out you Luddite

Carnage.

 

But it still needs humans to programme and maintain the computers/updates so still opportunity for human error, albeit if not behind the wheel.

Already happening I suspect

We've been keeping an eye on driverless cars for a couple of years (we're a software company). At the speed that technology is moving, they are gonna happen sooner rather than later.

In one.

 

Exactly the reason i ain't having one.

 

Tax savings though were massive.

I've not spoke to him yet but my he told my old man it will pay itself off in 4 or 5 years due to various savings (tax, fuel etc)

 

I just can't see it as they are bloody expensive
