Would rather have 1 self driving accident a month than many drunk drivers every night
To be honest Our cars are already self driving. They’re just getting us used to it. You know everything is brought to the public 10 years after anyways
Gonna pull them from the streets yet?
Wonderful…..guess the Cruise car didn’t hear nor see the fire truck. This is Cruise’s fault. It’s supposed to pull over….wait…..this is what people in our City do every day….try to beat the sirens and never pulls over…..these menaces need to be removed from the street. We have enough problems with inattentive drivers, we don’t need these. We aren’t ready for AI yet. Go practice elsewhere where No one could get hurt. Now, what happened to the party that needed that emergency response? SMDH
