Driverless cars. Does anyone have them operating near you and, if so, fi you think they are as efficient and safe as their hype? Seems iike a major disaster waiting in the wings to me.

A disaster waiting to happen.

The "disaster waiting in the wings" from self-driving cars is what it will do to the economy and the middle class when millions of truck drivers and delivery drivers lose their jobs.

That's a good point. Here in Australia a drone delivery service has either started or about to which will render many postal workers redundant. I guess that has happened in USA already.

And the working classes don't count?

The leap for these cars will happen when every car will become linked as a network. Safety will go way up and traffic will be drastically reduced.

None I’m aware of.. I think they’re unnecessary. A dangerous gimmick.

As I understand it passenger planes mostly fly on auto & people crash cars constantly anyway. The potential for disaster is certainly there but disasters with cars already happen everyday. Im optimistic this may reduce the disasters.
