Self-Driving Cars

Nothing. They'll only cause massive inconveniences (accidents and traffic jams) for everyone until governments decide to cut people's freedom of movement, only to benefit a few megacorps in the name of "common good".

It sounds good on paper, but I think it'll be one of those things that fuck me over upon widespread execution.

>What does /o/ think of them?
Flames, trolling. Same as they think of everything else.
>Will they actually improve society?
They'll improve traffic and make roads way way safer for those of us who enjoy driving ourselves.
>And what's going to stop some cunt from just walking in front of them to rob you?
What's to stop some cunt doing it now?

The driver's ability to ram past them in self defense, or to try and drive around them.

Fully autonomous vehicles only have a start and stop button, no manual override.

Would disable any post-2000 car.

Self-driving cars can't do that?

Stops normies getting hold of the controls and trying to drive.

Agreed.

I have too many friends who I refuse to ride with anymore because they'll start messing with their phone while in traffic on the freeway. One totaled his old Honda by pulling out on a small highway in front of someone doing 65, and he hasn't learned his lesson.

If widespread implementation happens very slowly and incrementally so that automakers actually have time to do a good job then I'm okay with it. I feel like most of the people who will start using it are the ones I don't want driving in the first place.

This whole thread has had a decent discussion about how most drivers are idiots and modern safety features have kept the degree of roadway lunacy down even with the mass idiocy. Self-driving cars done right will be another needed idiot-control.

So we require self-driving cars to come with a manual mode. Easy solution.

Solves the issue of newly constructed roads or rural roads not being on the car's GPS map too.

I hate them so much for no rational reason. They are ugly and take away from "muh driving experience" and all the added shit to make driving easier makes people dumber and they still manage to crash.
Don't tread on my hooning rights reeeee

It's another technological nanny that enables people to be lazy fat fucks while putting no effort or concentration into their lives.

I wonder how much longer people can be this lazy before society just collapses under the weight.
