Re: Autonomous cars "will have accidents"

I wouldn't be surprised if we were already past the point where autonomous cars were safer than their conventional counterparts. Not sure. I think we're in a for a tricky few years where autonomous is mostly ok, some of the time, but the handback bit where it can't cope is going to be the problem b...

Not so sure about that. Even if they can't touch your license for points, the fines can be large, and they will confiscate your car if you can't pay.

Re: Vehicle 2 Vehicle (V2V) technology

the satnav proved very useful doing exactly as you suggest as we made progress through the night in a subaru driven by my friend - sharp left 50, bridge ahead etc. :) When road-rallying it was amazing how much info your nav could give you from a Landranger - but at least on local maps their job als...

Same goes for the red light runners given in the quote. They'l...

Re: Vehicle 2 Vehicle (V2V) technology

I wouldn't mind a system where your car would warn you of the presence of other vehicles by means of visual alerts, What, like eyes? My boss's car has blind spot warning indicators on the rear view mirrors (orange light comes on when there's something in the blind spot - or you're driving closely p...
