am i the only one here that thinks driverless cars are uneeded?

I think that they are one of the most important things in the coming decades. Few things are as costly and dangerous as ~~drivers~~ human stupidity and selfishness.

FTFY

I do understand and agree with this - I think the biggest hurdle will be getting people to 'give up' this privilege that so many call a right. Plus a self driving mode over ride when outside of a population center should be an option - think country driving.

Cars like those in Demolition Man are what I envision - the steering wheel can shrink and recess into the dash some to be out of the way when in auto drive mode, etc.

I have no problem whatsoever giving up driving.

For better extracurricular road activities?

Second time this week. First was just a dusting.

This is supposed to be 1-3 inches depending.

country roads don't have painted lines, etc... I mean eventually computers will be truly better than humans and understanding the terrain and how to traverse it, but I figure that will be a while yet even after they get self driving cars working in the city.

my cell phone has been going nuts with people trying to figure out what I'm doing this weekend..

I've typed "on call, not many plans" about 30 times today.

This still doesn't make sense - you should make a thread.

None of Texas has painted lines either. Or they do, but they don't designate the lanes. The lines go all over the place. I fyou just followed the lines, you'd crash into people constantly.
