> Honda Motor Co. HMC -0.45%▲ plans to roll out a sedan in Japan in coming months that will allow the driver to fully cede control of the car in heavy traffic or on highways.
In heavy traffic at low speeds, I understand.
But am I odd in worrying about giving it control on the highway? Any bug could kill me, and I might not have time to react quickly enough to correct a bad command.
- LatteLazy 6y agoI can see where you're coming from, but we do the same with airplanes (disastrously with the 737Max) or medical machines or train signaling systems. It seems like these systems (and their bugs) will inevitably kill some people. But will they prevent more deaths than they cause? That's a fairer question if you don't mind me saying it...
