I can just imagine the future, a mentally disturbed individual with a chip on his shoulder for everything he blames for his failed life, aye the driverless car will be an easy target and not just for him, the Anti capitalists will have there very own version of Skittles :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's not going to happen, why, we have 10 years at least to highlight the pitfalls :wink:

Liability for crashes and how drivers will be trained and licensed need to be looked at now, according to the Commons transport committee.

Quote:
"Who is liable? Is it the manufacturer of the vehicle, or the technology in it? Is it the driver?" she said



Ehhhh!....Aint the Idea of driverless cars not to need a driver?? Or do they still want someone behind the wheel of the driverless car so they can apportion blame to and have arrested for not being in control of their driverless vehicle ????
