  1. Exactly. This is appalling. The corporate bullshiters would have you believe that these autonomous vehicles are the future, that they're safer than human drivers. In reality, this is what happens. They are worse than the worst student drivers. Yet, incidents like this do not appear on studies and statistics, because technically, this malfunction was not a "collision," so no need to report it. Collisions are not the only form of traffic problems and breakdowns no human driver would make.

  2. If the roads were setup were it’s just autonomous cars on the road like a lane where I could travel to places but cut the travel time in half. I’d be into it. It’s the human interface that causes a challenge

  3. This is the second report I've watched now where Cruise LLC seemed to talk a big game, but fail to deliver. The faux pas while the driving instructor was in the car was hilarious to watch as a spectator, but no-doubt extremely frustrating for local residents =)

  4. I wouldn't trust autonomous vehicles as of now since they are clearly unsafe and could easily cause a car crash or just break down on a highway, There are more reasons than those 2 that I just mentioned that could jeopardise the safety of passengers in the car.

  5. And what if imagine getting an electric car car that drives by itself and it takes you to your doctor's appointment to take you anywhere you want to go in the world and you don't have to touch the pedal or the wheel or the gas you just sit in the car and let it talked to the car in the car to tell you where you want to go to

  6. We need more electric cars in the medical field we need electric cars in West Virginia we need more taxes in West Virginia we need more electric cars in Kentucky and Ohio and West Virginia we need electric cars in the medical field
