Yikes. I like safety features like airbags and strong cages that won't collapse on the driver in a crash. I don't want my car making driving decisions for me. It may be done in the name of safety but until they invent a car that can't break, I don't trust it not to cause more problems than it helps.
- lutorm 15y agoI somewhat sympathize with your thinking. However, why do you like airbags then? Accidental airbag release can kill you a lot easier than sudden brake application can.

- drcube 15y agoLuddite. :P Seriously, would you prefer a car that was built by a robot or a human? Personally, while I see where you are coming from and share your reservations about unproven technologies, I also foresee a time - within our lifetimes and hopefully sooner than later - where cars are 100% computer controlled and roads are at least an order of magnitude safer. Imagine if every drunk at the bar could just press "home" on the dashboard of their car and then sleep it off during the trip?
