The tech in self driving vehicles makes them very costly. They must also be maintained religiously to prevent any possibility of error. This means that everywhere that isn't a big city will not be able to support having an autonomous taxi infrastructure. Furthermore, they are lightyears away from being able to deal with snow, poor road conditions, etc.
Women also like having their car as one giant purse/garbage can, something you can't do if you don't own the car. People like owning things. Anything where you have to tow something or go off the beaten path even a little bit will require a manually driven vehicle.
Manually driven cars aren't going anywhere.

That is a terrible analogy and you are retarded.

no.

Tesla is putting it on every car, even if you don't pay for it upfront.

Disliking the demise of operating cars is not the same as disliking technology.

There are already technologies that can respond to those conditions better than a human could. Mazda has an AWD system that adjusts to conditions which may cause traction loss before traction is ever lost.

Oh good, glad to hear that AWD system will help that self-driving car judge what is snow, what is ice, remember where the ice patch from yesterday was, and help it brake extra early and weave around the bad patch, etc.

I'm not opposed to self-drivers but to think they'll be able to deal with things like US midwest winters anytime soon is a joke.

>>15732737

Yes... In this case, it is.

That's a fucking retarded argument. It's effectively the same thing as disliking being forced to take a taxi everywhere, whether or not the taxi is a robot or person.

>>15732807

Except we're not talking about taxis; we're talking about our own personal cars.

>>15732825
Now imagine you can't drive your own personal car and you have to have Guido drive it everywhere for you.

Explain me this then fagets.

Seriously, who the fuck are we gonna blame when the Tesla kills a person?

Self drivers are largely a meme but this ridiculous scenario is even more of a meme.
