Raa Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 It is nice to think so but one can never really say for sure until they are in that situation. Self preservation is very a powerful instinct. But the robot is making the choice, not myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashy Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'd rather just drive myself. The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can turn auto-drive on/off. Like you all have seen some movies such as Demolition Man. I wouldn't buy a car if it does not have on/off switch for auto-drive. I like to drive manually.

Praetor Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 That reminds me of the mythical Quake match. A person set up a Game of quake with all A.I. bots and after 4 years they all decided the best winning strategy was not to play at all. Link wargames much?

shockz Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The day I am only able to purchase a driverless car is the day I stop driving. There are some things that should just not be automated. Gerowen 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some things that should just not be automated. Well that's pretty obvious, isn't it? You will stop driving because the car will be driving you! :D shockz 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraSonic Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'd like a car to think like me, self preservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdodson Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I don't see how this would even pose a problem. Most collisions are caused by driver error which an automated driver would eliminate. Mechanical failures probably don't directly cause many collisions, but a driver overcorrecting would. It seems likely that automated vehicles would also have better diagnostics for things like worn out brake pads and would prevent the vehicle from driving before being serviced.

It seems likely that automated vehicles would also have better diagnostics for things like worn out brake pads and would prevent the vehicle from driving before being serviced. true, but any annual inspection on modern cars that fail the inspection are usually due to sensor failure, and nothing actually being wrong with the car itself, so one could theoretically argue that the computer could detect a sensor failure as a mechanical failure (ie a tyre or some other random loss of control failure) compensate for it, and cause a collision in that way..
