  • this is good for those who are drunk.

  • What if the car is caught speeding? Does the cop give the robot a ticket? "You're just picking on me because I'm a machine, you human police are always harassing us machines"

  • WHERE'S THE EMERGENCY STOP!?

    

  • Thank you for using Johnny Cab!

  • though this does seem cool, I kind of worry about it changing the world too much.

    What I suspect though is it will work kind of the same way as a cellphone plan. You can go a certain number of miles each month with the automated system and then after that if you want to drive any more that month you have to either pay extra or opperate the car yourself

  • WITCHCRAFT!!!

  • @subach

    I have eye problems and do not dare to drive because I am afraid that I will cause an accident due to my eye condition. I can see everything on the road well but will never be able to live with the guilt for the selfish actions on my part if I really cause an accident.

    I really hope that these self driving cars will soon be avaliable to visually handicapped people like me. It will make my life so much better.

  • I wonder if those Lazer scanners are similar to the BarCode Scanners used in the Local shops.?

  • it might be more effective if a few computers ran all the roadways and transmitted signals to all the cars. that way, cars could work together to create better traffic flow, and there wouldn't be cars in the way of mine trying to exit the interstate or something.

  • Sweet, no more speeding tickets

  • Well if they legalize pot, then all police officers will have a hard time finding things to do. They will still have to deal with robberies, and serious drug trafficking, but that doesn't make them money like pulling people over near the end of the month does.

  • Don't you mean Highway patrol doesn't have a job?
