Tesla needs a new kind of seatbelt and airbag to protect a prone driver. Something as an add on.

I'm gonna second Para's response. Ban these things. I love tech. Have worked in and around that world for over 20 years, but I think we've reached a point where tech is no longer a help mate in accomplishing our lives, but rather is now being positioned as something to do everything for us. That paradigm is unhealthy. If we don't allow or teach our children to do things for themselves they become weak and dependent. Tech is truly doing that very thing to society as a whole today. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

Don't Panic |
About the only thing worse than loosing self-driving cars/trucks on the public highways would be to have layman-hacked versions of the above out and about. Utter nonsense. | |||

His diet consists of black coffee, and sarcasm. |
I have trouble believing that a self-driving program would allow the car to blatantly exceed maximum speed limits. As for self-driving cars in general, look at all the problems we have with computers already, then imagine them in a two-ton moving vehicle. | |||

You know what’s bound to happen next? I’m sure everyone here has heard of The Mile High Club. There’s bound to be a 60mph Club eventually. | |||

I guess I am in the minority here, but I see a great future for autopilot in passenger vehicles. While I don't think we're there yet, and I agree it's stupid to sleep while your car runs down the highway at 90 mph, I think the net effect will be a lot of lives saved. There certainly will be glitches, and no one wants to be the object of that glitch, but even when the autopilot screws up and injures/kills someone, it's going to be significantly less people per mile driven than are being slaughtered as we speak by human drivers. | |||

^^^ And then how long until it's mandated to use self-driving technology on the highway? Screw all that. My freedom has been eroded away enough. I refuse to give up any more of it and that of my children's for some extra "security." Liberty or death and all of that. Maybe that sounds hyperbolic.

In the next 30 years, we will see self driving cars on a networked network of freeways a la Minority Report. _________________________ Mag Lite (3 cell w/LED) Mace (Bear) Puppy (Lab Staff) | |||

I can see it now: "Ocifer! I wasn't driving under the influence! My car was the designated driver!" "I'm not fluent in the language of violence, but I know enough to get around in places where it's spoken." | |||

I was informed by an officer in Wyoming while riding a horse back from the bar that it was still considered dui even though the horse knew it’s way back. I passed the sobriety tests and was sent on my way with some new found knowledge. | |||
