autonomous

I can't see the point of an autonomous car , unless someone can convince me otherwise , and why so much money is being spent on developing them. Would you buy one if one was available ?

Interesting approach by Mercedes to the dilemma of who to save with self driving/controlling cars. For those that do not know theregister, just be aware that it is often tongue in cheek but usually factually correct. Mercedes answers autonomous car moral dilemma: Yeah, we'll just run over...

Interesting, programme to sacrifice the driver to save the pedestrians? https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/jun/23/will-your-driverless-car-be-willing-to-kill-you-to-save-the-lives-of-others?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Has anyone had their autonomous braking kick in? I seem to get VERY near cars and always have to intervene as I don't think it will actually brake. If it does kick in it's going to be very very late and very very hard with lots of ABS.
