Don't be silly. Somebody is in that car. When you screw with it you're making somebody late, no matter who is driving.

- cwkoss 5y agoIs there a fine for intentionally blocking a non-automated car? I don't understand why robot cars should have any additional rights that non-automated ones do not.
- JoeAltmaier 5y agoBecause it will likely be a chronic issue. And a car cannot even pretend to be aggressive - we all know a robo-car will just roll over and let you troll it.
- cwkoss 5y agoIf robot cars have right of way over pedestrians, won't they become literally aggressive? In that they'll kill people who get in their way?
- sonofhans 5y agoEven today there are driverless vehicles on public streets. Not many, but more than last year. E.g., Tesla’s “Smart Summon [sic]” feature is supposed to fetch your car for you. So no, there isn’t always someone in the car. The linked thread doesn’t mention humans one way or the other; it’s all about the cars. It’s reasonable — obvious, even — to assume that all driverless cars are the context, not just human-occupied ones.
