Soooo, how many violation points must they accumulate before their "license" gets suspended?  I admit I'm old but driverless cars are a big "nope" for me.

I don’t trust over half the cars that are driven by humans, let alone by themselves ??

I have to drive my car and I will not relinquish my control to any machine. I don't go on Roller Coasters for the same reason. I do trust Airline Pilots because of all the training they have to undergo.

Some more real world testing and I'm sure they'll be just as safe as flying... on a Boeing.

I believe Boeing just helped NASA get some astronauts to the Space Station........ They're putting a lot of faith in them, aren't they!  :rolleyes:

Just for the record, Boeing's "Starliner" spacecraft has been plagued with technical issues that have prevented it from returning to Earth. The round-trip was supposed to take a week, it's now been over a month, there's no known date when it might be able to make it back, and it looks like one of Mr. Musk's space vehicles might have to save the day...though both Boeing and NASA are understandably trying to play down the idea that astronauts are "stranded".

Years ago, didn't one of the astronauts talk about "traveling through space, at high speed, in a craft where everything was built by the lowest bidder"?

Not that I’m a supporter of self driving cars (I’m definitely not), but I think I trust them more than all of these people you see everywhere who are glued to their phones WHILE driving.

At least the car is programmed to make an attempt at safe driving.  I say if driving isn’t your priority when behind the wheel, you should be in a self driving car.
