Wrong Way driverless car

[my2¢]

I often see these Waymo cars when driving through neighboring cities. These cars need to be off our city streets.

Driverless cars must be banned.

Don't wanna drive?

Take the damn bus.

Take the damn bus.

Or get a dog and name him Jenkins, Nigel, or Porter. And he can be your chauffeur.

Or get a dog.

What about Toonces?

When it works, its awesome, but on that rare occasion when it does not, your self driving Tesla might slam into a tree at 65 mph, which can be something of an issue.

The concept doesn't seem to be working. Maybe in another fifty years.

But...but, by then, climate change will have been proven a fraud leaving democrats out of power with nothing to run on!

While the dogs are much cuter, I still have to say "take the bus".

They have Formula E races for electric cars.
There should be Formula A races for autonomous cars. I could root for smashups without worry about drivers' safety.

With the amount of software recalls and issues of literally every car manufacturer, anyone would be nuts to trust that crap.

Wouldn't work in a northern major snowstorm either as the vehicles cameras won't distinguish lanes covered in snow, and sensors get blocked by snow and ice rendering them useless.
My own vehicle tells me certain systems are offline in heavy weather and radar braking shuts down.
Automatic systems can't detect black ice either.

The reality is when driverless cars are the only cars on our streets, everything will be much safer. The problems on the roads are the human drivers.
