[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1618696, member: 8481"] There are current cars with collision avoidance. They will break, steer etc to avoid a collision. And a computer can make that decision faster. But, no matter what the computer does, that accident I described is still going to happen. It can't break hard enough, can't turn the wheel (the encroaching semi on one side, a guardrail on the other side.) Can you imagine the first headline and all the attention it would get. Autonomous semi involved in a crash! Mid air collisions air very rare involving aircraft. Cars can have the same proximity warning systems, but what keeps planes from colliding is more due to that 1000 ft space cushion. Plenty of time to react and plenty of airspace to maneuver in. Different story on a congested highway. No where to go to avoid that semi hitting you. [/QUOTE]
