Can't we get this technology nailed so well that hopping in a self-driving car for your day-to-day errands is something you do without a second thought, BEFORE we start sending out 30 ton missiles as beta tests?
- PeterisP 9y agoObviously not, since carrying humans on arbitrary dynamic routes for day-to-day errands is a much harder task than driving a known route between two fixed, well mapped points, and navigating remote roads/streets is more difficult than driving on highways.

- jstarfish 9y agoI agree with the sentiment, but guiding a large missile down a straight highway with human oversight has many fewer variables than navigating smaller missiles through crowded urban areas.
- MBCook 9y agoPlus given the amount of trucking on certain corridors it might be possible to get some lanes ‘roped off’ for automated trucking only, further reducing the risk.
- marnett 9y agoThe missiles involve more economic productivity.
