I think its a great idea but its probably a little way off yet. When the white coats can get the collision avoidance systems working smoothly and safely then it could work. I won't be putting my hand up as a beta tester but as a concept for the future I think its awesome.

I've gotta say I like the idea of the car driving itself on the freeway, but not the idea of drivers reading the newspaper while they should be fully alert, incase there is a need for evasive action. Oh yeah, and THIS is a road train

Don't see what the fuss is about. This will never work here anyway. Everybody in this country has to be first.

They have been making cars that drive themselves for years. They called taxis.
This idea is stupid. You want to save fuel so you put out a few random busses that drive around aimlessly all day. Yeah great way to save fuel. If these ever did happen here I would never use it. Probably be a POS bus that slows to 60 on every hill anyway. |
