A hundred years ago transportation vehicles were a bit shit because they perceived and reacted to their surroundings autonomously without offering us sufficient control. Then automobiles were invented and they were a bit shit because they required drivers to exercise control. Now, self driving cars have arrived and they're brilliant because they can perceive and react to their surroundings autonomously. But will they transform life as we know it or merely make road rage more difficult when we're being cut off by an empty Tesla?
Early self driving vehicles generally only had 1 horse power
Safety
Currently traffic accidents account for over 30,000 fatalities a year in the U.S. alone. As driverless car technology matures, expert estimates have them at 90% safer than their human controlled counterpart. Unless, like me, you're driving while Asian, then it should be closer to 97% safer. The fact is human error accounts for the overwhelming majority of traffic accidents and autonomous driving technology is not limited by our physical shortcomings.
There are also difficult moral questions to answer when programming the self driving AI: Should the car avoid hitting pedestrians at the risk of injuring its passengers? Should it value the life of a child more highly than that of an adult if it is swerving out of control and has no choice but to hit one of them? When the light turns green, how long does it wait before blasting its horn at the vehicle in front? These are all very important and difficult moral choices that manufacturers and legislators will have to make. And I don't know about you, but I'll soon be pushing around an empty pram wherever I go on foot just in case.
Efficiency
The average vehicle spends just under an hour a day on the road which is rather inefficient unless you steal cars for a living. Self driving cars will allow you to get off at your destination while it goes off on its own to find parking or better yet, pick up passengers and work for you until you summon it again. You'll literally be able to pimp your ride out. Hopping onto an Uber will only be a fraction of present day prices as human labor costs are omitted.
As more and more automated vehicles hit the road, traffic congestion will improve greatly. Congestion occurs when there is significant delay between human drivers reacting to the movement of other vehicles on the road like when I'm texting behind the wheel and didn't notice the traffic move up ahead of me. But if most of the vehicles on the road are autonomous, they can communicate between each other and accelerate and decelerate as one simultaneous unit, greatly reducing delay and the need for a margin of error. Intersections will play out as if everyone was a fire truck.
Don't worry: if you're a pedestrian and get hit, you'll just have to go back to level 1 again
Environmental Impact
Most of the upcoming autonomous vehicles run on an all electric engine. Even in its infancy, this technology is proving to leave a smaller carbon footprint than their petrol gulping counterparts (comparing emissions based on the electricity required to charge the car). This gap will only grow as battery technology improves over time. Also worth noting is that electric engines are much smaller than internal combustion engines, leaving far more room for storage. This is a godsend if you're anything like me and are also struggling to fit some of the ladies you pick up into the trunk these days.
Conclusion
While some of us are a little nervous before this new technology, I for one can't wait until the day roadside breath tests are replaced by drive through liquor stores. I may not be able to afford a self driving car right away, but I'll be content to just go to the gym and jump on a self riding exercise bike.

The second order consequences of autonomous vehicles will be even more significant:
Yup definitely agree with all these points!
Truth be told I'd thought of and if not researched most of these, but it's taxing writing jokes in satirical pieces so I tend to wrap them up prematurely lol
Somehow I just couldn't understand your sentence :-D
all good, wasn't very important
I agree with all your points
One downside is that there will be less jobs I think.
That may be true, at least less drivers. I'm pretty sure the overall economic effect would be positive
We're entering an automated world and soon white collar jobs will also be automated, we're going to have to find a solution to wealth distribution in a world where more and more people are rendered idle, i'm confident we'll find one.
Yeah I guess so.
Totally unrelated question: Did you buy all your steem power or earned it?
bought it all
Cool. You are fun, so are your posts. Following you. Steem on.
haha thanks a lot :)
You're welcome.
Pretty cool gif!
I can't wait to be able to go for a road-trip where we won't need a "designated driver" and everyone can be the same amount of intoxicated. :D
haha ya definitely, every car will be like the back of a limo
Ah. I can't wait for the self-driving revolution... and the "drive through liquor store" will be a very welcome perk in the process ;)
haha ya, instead of a steering wheel they'll just be a mini fridge :)
I wish to have one, i'm such a panic grandma on the street. :)
ya hopefully the prices will come down, these things are awesome
And I choose to be a pedestrian while hoping the price down. :D
My goal is to buy relatively affordable Tesla Model 3 after few years of starting hype. There might be some basic self driving software installed. Just imagine the look on cops face when he pulls you over and sees you dead drunk in the back seat while the car drives you home safely :D Priceless.
hahaha ya they can't get you for being a passenger under the influence
Thanks for sharing this article. I agree with your opinion. Self driving electric cars will be a blessing, especially if combined with a share economy. The male driver tuns into a hunting animal as soon as he takes place behind the steering wheel:
haha ya this is so true
hello @trafalgar.i would like to thank you for upvoting my 1st post yesterday.i kindly like to follow you.so that i can see your future posts.thanks a lot my friend.from Philippines.
@trafalgar, very interesting ! With the development of the times, the car instead of the carriage, and more and more cars run on the road. except environmental polluted, we still need to improve the situation of road congestion. because in our here, it is a difficult problem .
yes, I think road congestion will improve with self driving cars as they drive far more efficiently, requiring less time to react
Unfortunately level one usually involves an ambulance!
hahaha :)
I'm just pleased the industry is concentrating on cars. No mention of self driving motorcycles! I believe the way forward there is drones ......now that is really exciting 😲
skynet is coming
I LOL'd at the 1 horsepower line. It was literally one horse's power that was dragging the cart haha Self Driving Cars would be a huge boost. You're right when you mentioned that human error is the prevailing cause of accidents. Taking that out of the equation would significantly improve the transportation experience. Once self-driving cars are the norm, I can't wait for teleportation to be the next big thing.
haha you bet, although I certainly wouldn't be the first volunteer to test that technology
and I think trying to teleport to a friends house but failing because he failed to build enough pylons would be annoying
ahhh shhh yeah, I guess we all have that one lazy friend. How about said friend being the one to test the technology out first? Not fun floating around in the ether, huh? Let's see if learns his lesson and stacks the pylons evenly next time.
You write about serious things fun! Bravo for your post!
thanks olga
I try anyway :)
The invisible chauffeurs, as I like to call them. :D
I did a post about flying cars which will be a great addition to our transportation system. Maybe the flying cars can be made autonomous too? If that happens, then we are in for a major revolution :D
haha invisible chauffeurs who don't mind if you sit on their lap
I'm not sure what I feel about this quite yet. Maybe if there's an option for you to change it from manual to self-driving...gotta ease me into these kinds of changes LOL. I was much more excited at the prospect of hoverboards.
Though I will admit, the ability to drink road sodas without fear of open container violations will help me get over my prejudice ;)
Is Driving While Asian a thing? I have a friend who I can't wait to tease now...
haha I think according to stereotypical beliefs (and what better source of knowledge is there really) us asians are bad drivers :p
haha that you are my lord
I wonder if in the future will the news constantly be showing reports of people crashing from hacked cars and will the public be living in fear of foreign and domestic hackers.
haha hopefully they use blockchain technology and render it near unhackable :)
I wrote a sci-fi series when I was new about living under the blockchain and it was some scary stuff, I think I would prefer the kamikaze cars lol
hahaha you know you're in trouble when the airbags of the self driving car are deployed at the start of each journey
That is so crazy, you could knock out your victim at anytime lol
This topic reminds me of the exploit in pacemakers that offers access to hackers.
I think it would be more amusing in prosthesis
imagine just pressing a button on your keyboard to make everyone with a robotic arm masturbate
That is so funny, I would push that all day lol
I was just thinking about some kid asking Are we there yet? then the dad pushes a button and the side airbag knocks the kid across the car.
An outstanding article once again
thank you very much mammasitta
Yap That's what everybody calls me ☺️
This is the biggest lol i've had in a while. Wouldn't be so surprised now if i see someone doing this when the autocar circus comes live.
haha glad you enjoyed it kevin :)
I couldn't agree more!
thanks for checking out my post
Sorry for my very short comment ... but in this case I simply haven't much to add: autonomous cars will be safer, more environmentally friendly and more comfortable than our "modern" cars of nowadays (which actually are utilizing technology from "yesterday" in my eyes).
ya I definitely agree with that assessment
"Don't worry: if you're a pedestrian and get hit, you'll just have to go back to level 1 again"
But whyyy???
:(((
because you ran out of continues :p
Doh!
:O
This development is a huge step in the future, the safety aspect will be solved soon I am sure.
I think it's already safer than human driven cars :)
For sure when I see some drivers around me 😎
First of all this is hilarious! Second if you need an empty stroller (pram in your land) I've got you. If you also want to double down and wear a baby bjorne everywhere (just in case) I have you covered. Maybe you can put a watermelon or something in it.
hahaha can't be too careful in the future when my tin foil hat is not longer adequate
What car do you drive? I want to be sure to avoid you ;)
I hope we will see a revolution in car usage over the next 20 years. Electric cars are becoming more common and self-driving technology has moved faster than most of us expected. Both of these will get better and cheaper. Petrol cars and drivers are not likely to improve much.
Will my kids even need to learn to drive?
haha I don't actually drive
I make up some minor details for the sake of a joke, I know, I'm a phony
I honestly don't think they'll be such a thing as a driver's license in like 10 years times
Eventually you won't be able to afford insurance. It's getting that way as it is, especially for young people. I know some people love to drive, but I can't imagine they enjoy city driving. There can be race tracks where they can go for that.
I think when self driving cars take off, car insurance will be a thing of the past
i'm guessing like 80% of them will just be out of business
I think there will some interesting court cases before then when they try to establish who is to blame for a crash by a robo-car
Hahaha. Good read and good points. I like the idea of self driving cars now much more then 5 minutes before ;-) Resteemed.
haha glad you enjoyed it
I honestly think they'll be very useful and will greatly increase travel efficiency in the future
Your Uber example in correlation that I do not own a driving licence that has convinced me ;-) That seems pretty useful.
I love your gif - that cold be a self driving traffic experience in 2035 in asia. In germany the people where to scared for that kind of fast flow but I know Thailand :-)
haha ya it's like playing frogger on the hardest difficulty
If you compared the overall emissions balance it wouldn't look so good.
That extra space is taken up by the batteries :D
Not trying to bash electric cars, but the technology and infrastructure still has a long way to go.
It does, but I think the emissions balance is being distorted by both sides and at worst is pretty close
When battery technology improves it's unlikely that petrol powered cars will emerge as the victor in the long term
Batteries are still quite small relatively, teslas have a large trunk both in the back and front
I'm very sceptical about the environmental impact of those batteries.
It would also surprise me, if they made a major leap in this technology. It's been around for so long.
I think the technology here hasn't made gains like in other parts of the tech industry, like it certainly doesn't follow Moore's law, i'll grant you that
But there has been substantial gains over time, if you look at the size vs mah on your phone batteries over time, you'll see very significant improvements
Well, the biggest problem here is something that most people don't know about.
Gasoline is a waste product. When cracking oil you get a stack of outputs. And, if you stopped using gasoline for cars, then half of the oil wouldn't be used.
Electric motors are much smaller than an internal combustion engine, but batteries are MUCH LARGER than a tank of gasoline.
Oil is the most useful substance on earth. There are thousands of uses for it.
And, like I said, gasoline is a waste product. So, if humanity is going to stop using oil (and gasoline) then we have to replace every part that we currently use oil for. It is not undoable, and will probably be inevitable sometime in the future but there is such a huge supply chain to rework.
I believe other technologies are going to come in and completely change the paradigm of driving long before we work out a viable battery to replace all gasoline vehicles.
Major innovations are in the works in battery technology. Some stuff is ridiculously advanced. In the next 5 years, we should see 10x improvements in battery tech.
yep, that seems to be the bottle neck and the area that we've made the least progress historically, although far from no progress
But we do need a breakthrough here
I doubt self driving cars will actually make it to prime time.
First our "state of the art" computer systems are anything but.
Most aren't even a computer any more. (they are only a half of a computer, like Winders is only half an operating system because in its base configuration it cannot tell you all the processes that are running, nor will it let you kill a virus)
Lets take the iPad as an example. Lots of people have bought an iPad, and think they own an iPad. But, they don't. Apple owns the iPad.
You can't even write an application and download it to your iPad without approval from Apple.
Apple has complete control of the iOS. They can shut down all iPads tomorrow, and they have done so, accidentally. (remember the iPhone brick?)
So you do not own nor control your iPad. Just like you won't own nor control your self-driving car. You are now playing russian-roulette every time you get into the car.
Second, the protocols for sending signals haven't even been thought of yet. Right now, what we have, is a system that is hackable at every level. If I want to take control of your iPad, I set up a wireless router where you will be, and once you access that router, I control all of your data flow. I can retype every web page you visit, on the fly. You can do the same thing with drones. You will be able to do the same thing with cars.
Third, the auto pilot is fine in areas which are well travelled and well maintained. However, most of the driving in america happens in rural areas around the farm. Places where there is little traffic, and very little use for a machine that would do 25% or less of the driving. Places where you are usually responding to some problem or another, like flooding, cows out of their pen (and on the road) or other hapinstance that changes the terrain.
Forth, the time of the automobile is coming to an end. The suburbs are basically an old folks home. The next generation is living in tight cities where they can walk or bike. Or they are moving out to farms. The era of cars meaning freedom has come to an end. Now, instead of driving over to your friend's house, you just snapchat them.
So, I do not see the self driving cars becoming more than taxis in certain cities. And thus, the large cost of implementation will never be paid.
After the first story of a auto-car that locks the passenger in the car because of a parking fine (or whatever) and people will start to avoid auto-cars.
Hello,
Yess...You are right !! These problems of Hacking, Centralised system (like Apple, Google, etc.) are going to be eradicated entirely by latest cutting edge technology - BLOCKCHAIN.
I am currently working on Blockchain technology. It has a huge capability of disrupting every possible centralized types of businesses.
In future, this problem of Apple or any such companies entirely owning the users' rights is going to be removed with the advent of Blockchain technology, which is going to be public like the way, the current form of Internet is.
Brief on Blockchain : Nobody shall be owning anything. Entire world will be connected in the way the current internet is. But the only major difference is that there will be no centralised server, which will lead to a hacking-proof system/network. No one needs to take permission from anyone (like the way the Apple company- for uploading apps). All decisions will be based on programmed Consensus algorithm (autonomous or manual).
For details follow link to Ethereum- a type of public, permissionless blockchain!
A new Internet which will be a decentralised P2P network, is going to be come and penetrate into everyone's lives. Henceforth, making this world a better place.
Useful information, thanks for sharing
thanks for having a look
Your wellcome,
Interesting information, greetings.
"Currently traffic accidents account for over 30,000 fatalities a year in the U.S. alone.

Unless, like me, you're driving while Asian, then it should be closer to 97% safer.

Highly flawed argument. Uber for instance, they have to have human intervention every few miles. Another is that if you are taught how to drive by someone knowledgeable you are taught to drive defensively. You can't assume that if someone has a turn signal on they intend to turn. You can't assume you have the right of way (even if legally you do).. I could go on and on and on. One way driverless vehicles will change your life in the future: they will lobby you make it virtually impossible (maybe even illegal) for humans to drive on their own. None of which is a good thing if you value freedom.
Maybe today uber still requires human intervention but this is looking a little into the future. I do think even today driverless cars are safer than human controlled ones, and the technology is very new, what about in 5 years? 10? Biological motor skills will not be competitive against computer controlled cars in the future.
Legality is a different issue, it'll depend on your jurisdiction and there's a tradeoff between safety and freedom. I don't see them rendering manual cars illegal even in the most progressive countries any time soon
I don't think driverless will ever truly compete with the ability of a well trained driver as far as avoiding accidents. I can think of at least ten instances of accidents I managed to avoid that a driverless car would of not have been able to of. Of course you can say well the other driver was human, but hey if in your mind automated driving wont replace human drivers, then there you go.
Another point I would like to make is that you are not taking these companies into account as far as their motives for profit goes. They will undoubtedly seek for their friends in government to render human driving illegal in a push for more profits. They send out their lobbyists, pay off a few people and before you know it a bill to render most human driving illegal. There isn't a tradeoff between safety and freedom by the way.
With freedom we are responsible for our own safety. By the way government can't take away freedom. I know I go on about the dangers of freedoms being taken away, but in reality the constitution does NOT grant us freedoms it simply states we are born with them. Therefore the only way freedoms can be lost is if people willingly give them up on an individual basis. My whole point here is don't go with what the crowd thinks is cool because of the novelty, think about the intention behind this push for driverless vehicles. There's a lot more to it than 'protecting' people.
Believe me I understand the novelty of it. I have thought about driverless vehicles since before 2000. I envisioned a driverless transportation system. Buses picking up passengers, dropping them off on routes, stopping automatically at red lights. The idea increases efficiency, there is no driver to need a break, they can run 24/7. If they are powered electrically they wouldn't even need to stop to be refueled and they could be powered off a wireless system that charges onboard battery through a line of sight system along the routes. So you see I'm no technophobe but when you extend this to regular cars, there are new toll roads, new tracking methods you can see the idea here is to stifle freedom of movement, and that is not a good thing for you and me.
thanks for the long write up
I disagree with the fact that humans are, and will remain better drivers than AI. We are limited by this biological blob of flesh that constitutes our being, whereas AI is theoretically only limited by the laws of physics. So if well programmed, it can do everything we can do and more, it'll do it faster and more consistently, and it's judgement is never compromised by emotions (eg fear as it's spinning out from an accident).
I feel that there are competing economic forces here between traditional car manufacturers and driverless car manufacturers in terms of lobbying etc. I don't foresee human controlled cars banned anytime soon, although if a driverless car is 10x -100x safer, there are moral and economic incentives to internalize costs of wanting to drive a conventional car, as you are endangering the lives of others by a factor of 10x+.
It is not the novelty that's appealing, but the utility, which is indisputably far more efficient. I don't take the least charitable interpretation of every technological change that comes along, which in my opinion is something one has to do to view them as a genuine threat to one's freedoms. Even if certain technologies encroach on our freedoms, the rational question is whether the freedoms compromised is not offset by concomitant benefits. Here, I'd argue that the benefits greatly outweigh the costs.
"Even if certain technologies encroach on our freedoms, the rational question is whether the freedoms compromised is not offset by concomitant benefits. Here, I'd argue that the benefits greatly outweigh the costs."
Very troubling statement. What if I were to tell you we could clothe all the people of the world, feed the entire population, house the entire population, no more wars, no more violence. The only catch is you would have to give up individualism and live like a lab rat in an automated system in which you wouldn't have to lift a finger. Many people esp. socialists would accept the trade off, but people like me will rightly argue that in this example the entire point of living in the first place has been stripped away. There is always a way to make something comparatively safer and efficient but that doesn't make it a good idea. In my example of an automated transit system, there would be no trade off to our rights we enjoy daily.
In automating cars, and the move to do so there are too many ways in which we will be screwed as far as our rights are concerned. I will list a few, companies involved will lobby government to place restrictions on human driving over and over again until essentially most human driving will essentially be outlawed in most cases; with new restrictions to human driving there will be new taxes on driving/mileage/toll roads..etc; driverless vehicle manufacturers will move towards a leasing system in which ownership for cars will eventually cease to exist in favor of making people rent their vehicle; due to the leasing model many more jobs will be lost for example car sales... I could go on and on.
Also this machines are infallible and safer drivers argument is just an assumption. There are always oversights, there are always malfunctions/failures, and as yet machines don't have the ability to reason. Improvements will be made but I would love to see a driverless vehicle be in a situation where it is driving in a two lane one way road, it is on the left going 40 mph with a car behind it tailgating It less than a foot away, meanwhile the car on the right hand land less than 15 feet ahead of it takes a hard left right in front of it.
When it can avoid that type of accident then I will revisit this and rethink my argument but until then I will just shake my head at the stupidity that anyone would willingly give up rights, freedom of movement, vehicle ownership..etc in favor of being more lazy. There is another argument here for me to pursue as well which is the degradation of the human brain due to more and more automation and being used less and less. It is unhealthy.
Yes, I think at the center of this argument is that we have different subjective values. You deem freedoms to be of paramount importance, I deem them to be of finite importance. I think the latter view is more coherent when you consider cases where freedoms can conflict between individuals, and the only way to see which should prevail is to assess them as something of finite value and compare them.
I agree with everything in the second paragraph, except I don't view it as an imminent threat. As I said in terms of government clout, it's rarely been in favor of newcomers into the market. As we don't have values that align perfectly I deem it sensible to have long term economic sanctions against one's exercising their freedoms in a manner that puts others at greater risk than viable alternatives (such as self driving cars)
I disagree on this factual point in your 3rd paragraph. We are limited by our biological physiology. The computer is only limited by the laws of physics. The illusion of human 'reasoning' is not a relevant factor. The machine is armed with light pulse, sonar, ultrasonic, radar and camera sensors that can perceive near instantaneous changes in the physical world around it at react accordingly. Our eyes, ears and a few mirrors, relatively slow reflexes, reaction time, and compromising emotions are no match for a well designed machine. I think even today a prototype driverless car could beat the world's best stunt driver in maneuvering around sudden obstacles etc. If I am wrong, it certainly would be able to be far superior in the not so distant future than the best humanly possible driver. You may 'feel' that your a superior driver in an anecdotal sense, but I assure you the machine will be far better at it in a few years.
There is a fear of a slippery slope argument underpinning your views. For me, each decision of giving up something for something else is merely a product of rational market choices. I would certainly not embrace a lifetime of incarceration for the convenience of never needing to apply sunblock again. But that is not the cost benefit analysis in question. I don't pass judgement on this analysis based on what class of cost and benefits are in question (freedom vs security etc), but merely what are the magnitudes of these costs and benefits in terms of consequences, and I side with the one that confers the greatest net gain.
"Yes, I think at the center of this argument is that we have different subjective values. You deem freedoms to be of paramount importance, I deem them to be of finite importance"
They are. I don't want to assume what Country you are from, but I was born and raised in the United States. Honoring individual rights and liberties is the entire reason why the United States was created. To say otherwise is to disrespect the central tenent that was the motivating factor of the creation of the United States. Protecting individual rights and liberties is also the core of holding most civil duties or offices in the United States, which is why the oath of office exists. So if you are from the United States and were to assume a public office there is no way you could honestly take the Oath of Office.
This is not a personal attack, it's just fact. I will go further in saying that if your view of rights, liberties, freedoms..etc being of finite value is the norm in Government and it is pursued to further strip people of them... there will eventually be a civil war it's inevitable if that belief becomes the norm of those that were sworn under the assumption they were of paramount importance... and the people will be right to fight back in that kind of circumstance.
"I disagree on this factual point in your 3rd paragraph. We are limited by our biological physiology. The computer is only limited by the laws of physics."
I disagree with that assumption entirely. Think of the possibility of failure as a type of ‘lag’. The more filters something has to travel through to its final destination the greater the ‘lag’. The driverless cars would have a greater amount of ‘lag’ or possibility of failure. By virtue of being designed by humans, created by humans, programmed by humans the limiting factor will be the ability of those that created it.
Then you have to think about it’s responses will be calculated by various programs from information received by various sensors located in various points of the car, there are more possible points of failure from the programming, the hardware and circuit design, weather limitations of the hardware or sensors and other unforeseeable hardware limitations… could go on and on. Like the ability of the humans coding the programs to translate and predict every single circumstance possible behind the wheel of a car and account for it… just wont ever happen. There will also exist a high possibility of a catastrophic central failure of a certain model, for instance firmware/operating system that has a design flaw in which all cars of that model fail.
“The illusion of human 'reasoning' is not a relevant factor. The machine is armed with light pulse, sonar, ultrasonic, radar and camera sensors that can perceive near instantaneous changes in the physical world around it at react accordingly. Our eyes, ears and a few mirrors, relatively slow reflexes, reaction time, and compromising emotions are no match for a well designed machine.”
It most certainly would be. For instance the example I gave earlier. A car traveling on a two lane one way road. You are the car on the left traveling at a rate around 40 mph or faster, there is a car tailgating you only about a foot away so close that in your rear view it almost appears as if the car is only an inch away, on the right there is a car traveling at the same rate you are but about 15 feet ahead of you (or the driverless car I mean) and the car on the right decides to do an immediate left turn to a road on your left right in front of you disregarding all traffic laws. If the driverless car can get out of that situation without hitting the car that turns, or having the car tailgating you hit you by hitting the brakes… then I will rethink the factor of ability to reason… otherwise I believe it’s a valid argument.
Self driving cars are programmed to kill you.
Imagine the following situation. A bus full of children has gone off its course is heading to hit you self driving car. In order to save more lives the car is programmed to crash itself off course, injuring you rather than hitting the bus with more people on board.
It's the first law of robotics.
It's Tuesday! I was going to make a post, then decided that spamming certain people with this would be much more fun.
Gotta do a hop on Tuesday. We punched an owl.....
lollol
Great post @trafalgar...good work.thank you . Greets
Good job .
Perfect @trafalgar
thanks
Great post, very interesting
thanks
@trafalgar thanks for always upvoting me.helps me a lot..
Good topic you touched my friend. When I was young, I was always carefree and I did not care if my friends drove at high speeds. Until I had a very serious accident, to not give many details, the doctor told me that if I had cut 1cm more, it would have ended in a vegetative state. Thank God that did not happen. But after seeing my family suffer and a lot of other things my life changed completely. From that day on that if I get into a car and the one that drives, they speed up, I directly ask them to slow down or get out of the car. When something like that happens to you (accident), you understand that the car is a weapon. And that not only can you harm your life, also that of someone innocent.
Well, I do not want to be so dramatic. So, the day a car takes me to work back and forth, go and take my dog for a walk. He bought me the cigarettes. And take my girlfriend to visit her mother and I can escape my mother-in-law, I think I'm going to be one of the happiest men in the world. :P

I would like to contribute to this post by saying, self-driving cars will actually improve their economy as a whole because there are so many ways positively linked with transportation and economy of a state or of a country. If the transportation is easier for people for the masses it will enhance a higher economy rate. So the bottom line is, it will actually bring more efficiency and also accuracy road users.
