Not a fan of self driving cars but..

I wonder if you could be in the car drunk and not be charged with drunk driving

There may a good reason for these things

You would still be operating a motor vehicle

@LadyInTheTower and I have seen news reports about the Uber drivers assaulting their passengers too

@Pretzel Yes.

@Pretzel yes, Austin Texas has self driving cars called "Waymo". I hear good and bad, but the bad is what is called "annoying" like blocking a driveway or being stopped and then getting hit (low speed) by another car. The number of serious accidents in a Waymo are less than human driven car accidents. So there is a lot of progress being made. I hear that China is using self driving cars and city buses.
Good excuse! Killing the ecosystem and making community impossible will be normal, forever. Cars are normal. Cars. Yup. No escaping!

I read where someone went to L.A. and had used a self-driving car to get around a few times. Imagine renting a car there and driving on those crowded highways and not knowing how to get where you want to go?

Nope... Still have to be in control
Pretzel · 70-79, M
@Convivial yeah I get that and don't disagree. Those cars make me uneasy.

I'm just wondering if more self drivers, and the drivers weren't in control..might there be less fatalities.

The worst part about the drunk drivers to me is they are often less injured than the people they hit.

@Pretzel Im sure that's the ultimate plan.
Biggest problem with vehicles is the idiot behind the wheel

@Pretzel it's very early days and there still ironing out the bugs
