The Blue: Driverless cars, thing of the future?

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

The team have created an article on The Blue ( find it here ) about Driverless cars.

What do you guys think about this kind of vehicles? Have you ever tried them?

I bet the ones that are going to be trolling round Cov wont be able to do anything near that...

I was being serious in my previous comment 

they seem ideal for me in the future, to get me out of the house, when I can no longer do that for myself - I don't drive you see = a professional pedestrian me to date

If they were to ever go into general use they'd have to be able to at least do the current city speed limit of 30 mph. I think it will be a very long time before they were able to develop one that would do 70 mph for motorway driving.

Not so far off. There are cars today that can stay in lanes and have active cruise control and will do upwards of 70mph.

I still think it will be at least ten years before we see any major changes. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for it. It will bring mobility to a lot of people who are now not able to get around.

Driverless vehicles are also already used in warehouse and industrial locations.

If a robot can be programmed to spray a car perfectly then anything is possible.

Bit late to the party on this one. Not entirely convinced, what happens when you get the computer circle which means the computer doesn't know what to do at 70mph on a motorway?

Recently I was walking the dog and an electric car came up behind me. It was silent. That freaked me out enough as it was.
