For as long as it's my responsibility not to kill people while driving, I will refuse cars that drive for me, that don't let me see and change the software on them.
Slightly tangential...people who kill others with their cars in the United States, at least in New York City, really don't get into that much trouble unless they're under the influence of alcohol or drugs, were speeding recklessly (not just 10mph) or do it intentionally.
You may pay a fine, repair costs for your car and your insurance rate might go up slightly, but jail time...nah.
i respect your view. But IMHO for low speed home-to-office commutes there is a market for 100% autonomous cars that can free a person up for productivity tasks or other activity rather than have to drive the same route over and over.
OR say the trip to the supermarket past school zones.
Maybe not in my driving lifetime (I'm an old fart) , sure :)
What's 'low speed'? I don't think I've met anyone whose commute didn't involve driving on the freeway. You could take inside streets, but that's a longer drive.
