Self Driving Cars. No, just no.

I can’t think of an idea that seems stupider than self driving cars. I’m not into getting one. Do you think I’ll be eating my words in five years? Would you ever want one?

I don't really think about it at this point.   But, hey, they would probably have a better record than the ones with drivers who text/etc while they drive!

The world we live in is the world we watched on TV 50/60 years ago.  We dreamed that this day would come.  Now, it appears it's all a nightmare.  Be careful what you wish for.

 

No, I don't trust them any more than any other driver on the road.  Me, included.

Re: Self Driving Cars. No, just no.

At this moment, I'm saying no but I'm not afraid of new things and self driving cars will be the norm, sooner than we want to think.  I'm 58, so it's only matter of how quickly they become available for the average person.  It won't be tomorrow or even 5 years from now but if self driving cars are the norm in 10 or 15 years....I'll be 73....so, yes.  I will have one.  As the saying goes; never say never.

I can't even stand "Cruise Control" and refuse to use it....  I wantt 110% control of my vehicle.

@Q4u, I won’t use cruise control either! It drives DH nuts when I tell him I won’t feel like I am in control of the car. I can’t imagine ever getting into a self driving car.

I never use cruise control either.  I like to be in control and I think drivers become too complacent with cc on.

If you want something stupider, how about driverless tractor-trailers?

My car has the ability to drive itself, however, I won't allow it.
