Fortunately we're still quite a long ways away from self driving cars in the sense of truly driverless cars that can be relied upon to navigate safely on their own in random settings, like a city block.
- criddell 5y agoYeah, for sure. Malcolm Gladwell wrote about his experience in a Waymo and he came to an interesting conclusion. Because self driving cars always defer to pedestrians, pedestrians will get very bold and not be scared about stepping off the curb in front of a self driving car. It could mean traveling through dense urban centers by car is almost impossible. Of course, car owners vote in enough numbers that, if this were to happen, I could see cities installing barriers between side walks and streets like Las Vegas has in the strip area.
