Trump appoints Kalanick and Musk to committee

@scottalanmiller Yeah driver controlled wrecks will force autonomous drivers, but it will be a very long time until all of the current fleet of existing cars will be gone from the roads entirely.
So I understand what you mean, human drivers (and actions) will force humans globally to completely be gone with the common car in favor of autonomous cars.
The trouble will be that many people will insist on archaic approaches (driving them selves)

Another example of this would be the attack in Paris where the terrorist struck, driving a large truck through the crowd of people.
Obviously if you can't get the vehicle to drive through the crowd you have to come up with some other attack method, which would likely involve guns.
But at least some people might have a chance to run when they hear gun fire. . . maybe.

I disagree. but perhaps - I have no idea how easy it is to get guns in Europe.. clearly getting a car is much easier... but I'm guessing there are things that are easier than guns, yet harder than cars...

@Dashrender Well I agree, there is probably something, but if guns were to be used, they would likely be purchased illegally. Or from the black market.
So what could be as lethal as a gun, and more easily attained than a car? I suppose one could try to mix chemicals to make some kind of poison but how wide spread an area could that affect?

That's what police are for. People used to just fly themselves too, not so much any longer.

I don't disagree, that police will have new responsibilities. My point was more towards the fact that people will fight tooth and nail to still allow driver operated vehicles.
Even though the evidence shows that humans suck at driving.

I was thinking of things like pipe bombs.

That's what laws are for. The laws will ultimately say no non-self driving vehicles on the general road ways - or any non private roadway.

You sure the laws will so "no self driving vehicles"?
I get what you mean, just wanted to poke fun.

Doh!
