[QUOTE="alister, post: 1619637, member: 7735"] Moore's law says its going to happen before that. 2 to 4 years, your supposed to be able to buy luxury cars that will drive on intrastate style roads. They already have demonstrators doing it now. Audi had one drive from New York to San Francisco. Another company was taking journalists from Las Vegas to San Francisco. The computers in these cars will be nothing like your computer at home or your smart phones. The computer at home is a mulit purpose device and is one of the main reasons why it errors more often. Your computer can play mp3 files and so does a dedicated mp3 player. Both are computers but how often do you see a well built dedicated mp3 player crash? The cars computer will be considered a safety device and I'm sure it will not fail that often and lots less than the average driver it's replacing. At the start, the population will demand that a driver will demand that a real driver will be in the cab for safety reason. Eventually the pay for this driver will drop to McDonald's level or below to finally the public will see this as an entitlement job and demand that they are removed. When a plane crashes, most of the people on the plane will die which be hundreds of people not including anyone unlucky on the ground. It will be on international news and be repeats for days and sometimes weeks. Car crashes rarely involve more than ten people. And the death rate is much lower. Often they don't even get mentioned on the local news. When they do, it's one or two broadcasts. They rarely get to national level and the most typical ones that currently do are the massive pileups on freeways caused by fog which I doubt will happen as often with driverless cares. [/QUOTE]
