I'd don't see how people would prefer these cars over manually driving. What if I'ma bit late for something and I have to drive a little more aggressively to get there on time. I doubt that a computer car would be able to do that.Considering how these cars remove thinking distance as a factor when it comes to braking, they could drive faster than a person safely could.
How is that exactly? Distance when breaking isn't only an issue of reaction time of the driver, there are actual physics involved. People often hit the brakes at the first sight of tail lights when moving at speed, the differnce in time would be fractional on such cases. Do self driving cars have some magic level of traction?They talk to each other so they can all slow down at the same time, its been proven.
But this still doesn't bypass the fact that cars slide when they brake at speed, whether they all do so in sync or not. Nothing you say here changes that.
You sound like my dad who doesn't believe this technology will ever have a use and never be brought to the public for use.
I've never implied any such thing, i've merely pointed out that doing so is not as simple as some of you are making it.
