Self-Driving Uber Car Kills

I wonder how many here realize just how much is entrusted to computers when they fly. Pilots are becoming more or less obsolete. With NextGen being implemented in the US and most newer aircraft being CATIII certified and CATIIIa, b, c in testing, full pilotless travel is less than 10 years away. In my opinion, with proper funding and cooperation across the infrastructure sectors, driverless cars are a much easier reality. The difference is that pilots, truck drivers, and taxi drivers are paid. There is a strong financial incentive to replace them. When you are in your own car, you are not being paid, and thus other considerations take precedent. Do you (not you specifically) want control of your car? Is a computer-driven car more expensive? Do you trust the computer? Do you see driving a car not driven by a computer as a form of protest against having others tell you what to do? Ultimately, I agree it will come down to how soon the government mandates it. Mandatory use of seat belts and baby seats took a long time. Airbags were mandated very quickly, too quickly in the case of the passenger-side death cannons. Since this affects the safety of others, and the elite love to tell the peons how to live their lives, I suspect it will happen rather quickly. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
