think auto driving cars...how do you feel about self driving cars all over the place while you are tryin to work?

dude I am so not looking forward to rush hour with mixed vehicles on the road
My truck has auto breaking on it because pretty much all the new ones do. At this point its only active if cruise control is on but even something so simple as breaking it can freak out..

If a car crosses the lane in front of you then moves to next lane and starts slowing if will start activating the brakes.. As a person with eyes in my head, I can see what the car is doing and that he will be out of the way before I'd get to him.. However the sensors only see a object in front of you that is slowing..

IMO for self driving cars to work, it either needs to be every car or the road so they can be networked or none. The mix will not work too good..

The problem is we won't have a choice. Everyone will be pushed into self drivingt by insurance rates and govt regulations that make the car manufacturers build new cars that way.

Like with my truck, I don't think you can buy a new one with out the auto breaks and they lower insurance costs.
