Hi Les.
Don't worry mate the Govt will still catch you, they will charge your car with the DUI but the owner will have to pay.

So there are your relis in a driverless car and it breaks down on the freeway.
Some nice looking guy stops to see what he can do, likes the look of the kids inside and decides to take one away.

Will the road side company, RACV or similar, be able to assist??

On the news this morning. Think it was in Chicargo. Guy is in a driverless car, his problem is al it is doing is driving around in a carpark in circles. it cannot find it's way out. Another one Nissan UK have road tested a driverless car on rural british roads. Nissan had a safety driver along with a film crew. it seemed to work very well. The driver was behind the wheel but not touching it just as a safety measure as it was a public road.
It certainly appeared to be operating every bit as well as a normal car. Only comment the TV reporter said was it did seem to be going a lot faster than he would have liked. I wonder how it reacted to some of the potholes we have plenth of on UK roads. Be curious how it would perform on the M25.

Most of us like the press are concentrating on the bad side of AI., AI has the potential to create new medicines in a short period of time in comparison with the current method of development.

Is the Container port in Rotterdam not controlled from a remote control room? The straddle carriers and cranes are all remotely operated.
AI is only as good as the information fed into it.
Just watch how world history maybe changed if someone feeds into AI that the Holocoust never happened.

How many here have been online , maybe buying something or other from say Amazon. May not be Amazon but as you progress your order the Computer may ask you if you are a Robot. A bit ironic really a machine asking a Human are you a Robot.

Here in Melbourne one of the crane companies operate their cranes from somewhere in Malaysia.

Driverless cars will work well when ALL on the road are driverless, until then some DH will run into one.

AS to driverless ferries, fine until something goes wrong, just like the one in North Sea this week.

Driver less cars? we have had them in Cooma for years, I watched a woman come out of the shopping center car park and bump her way along the kerb to her house, another I followed at 20 kilometers an hour up the main shopping street with a cue behind her I think stretching to Canberra.
