Would you be ready to hop in a driverless car?

No. Too early in its inception for me.

I can’t wait.

@chyna – I’m not saying now but let’s say after couple of years. Would you be able to trust the technology or not?

Maybe.

Only if there is another person that knows how to drive, just in case something goes off and you need to take the wheel. Is there an option to take control yourself in case something goes off? If not, I ain’t entering.

Only if I could sit in the drivers seat with fail safe access to brakes and steering.

Yes.. I don’t have a drivers license and it would free me to do more.

No way. I don’t even much liking getting into a car WITH a driver.

You betcha!
I’m ready.
I love love those driverless bus/cabs! I so want to ride in one of those.

Not yet by any means, but time will tell.
I want to see how they stand up to the test of time first, lets see how well they do with a hundred thousand kilometres on them and a ton of road grime,lets see how ell they do then.

I don’t like to use appliances, cars, or any new gadget it’s first year out.

I like the idea of driverless cars. just like I like public transportation. I don’t have to pay attention too much. I can read or nap or space out. I like that.

I don’t think I would mind. But I would be sort of skeptical about hopping in a automated Uber.

They are a scumbag company and I could see them doing things like being a little bit more risky to get a few more percentage points of profit.

Yes. Safer than some random driver.

NO! I am not ready to have them driving around either!

As someone who has developed AI systems, I think people are foolish to deploy driverless cars.

As someone who understands computer security risks, especially with wireless access, I think we’re stupid to allow human-driven cars to have as much computer control and wireless access as we already do.

I am ready for some hackers to demonstrate how stupid it is to have computer-driven cars, but they’ll probably wait until there is a whole fleet of them to take over and have seek humans instead of avoid them, or ram full-speed into gas stations, or launch people off bridges.

I say kill those mutherf%@$¤ers!
I am sick of people afraid to move, budge an inch because somebody might cybetf#&£ them.
Death penalty for hacking first offense.

What & not have a chauffeur to order around?
Nah, i’ll take a pass.

Only if it is Deutsch.

That’s like asking me 25 years ago if I would ever have a cell phone or a laptop. If I wanted to work in my field and not become a dependent or homeless, I didn’t have a choice. Will I have a choice in whether or not I’ll ever hop into a driverless car? I doubt it.

Only if someone was driving it.

Truly autonomous cars:

Who lives? Who dies?

Mercedes Benz has wisely jumped on this ethical issue early. They have announced that their products will always prioritize the lives and safety of the MB buyer/user.

Why is this important?

Because something has to be prioritized, and that decision can’t be made by any conceivable technology.

Scenario: Pedestrian safety.

So we can make a car that brakes and or veers to avoid hitting an object in the street. Great. But what if that object is a drunk that has stumbled off the curb?

Should the car run into a building or oncoming traffic, risking the safety of it’s occupants?

TL;DR: “Driverless” cars involve far, far more than the layman can consider.

Hell no….

I actually enjoy driving most of the time, and having physical control over the car. I’ll admit commuting to work isn’t fun driving, but even then “self-driving” cars really have no appeal to me.
