The report doesn't say whose fault it was.

But it does list a hell of a lot of other similar failures
and a well designed self driving car should drive the
car so it doesn't cause human drivers to run into the
back of the car its driving because of how it drives.

And of course human drivers never **** up like this....

Irrelevant to how self driving cars should be done.

The point is a self driving car is FAR less likely to **** up than a
human.

Yes, but it should also drive to minimise human drivers
being caught out by how it drives, if only so that those
in the self drive car don't have to fart around exchanging
details with the driver of the other car that runs into it.


Irrelevant.


Nope, that's how self driving cars should be done.


Agreed, and they will be eventually.

If it's better than a human driver, it should be on the road, now.


The legislators don't agree, anywhere.


Because they're idiots. The best car at this moment is driverless, it has less accidents than a human.

And what do you mean "how it drives"?


How it does stuff like that merging that caused
a human driver to run into the back of it.


It clearly made a mistake, not "did it differently".

The most unpredictable piece of **** on the road is currently.... a human.


Clearly how it merged wasn't predictable either.


Have you seen humans try to drive?

The average human has an IQ of 100. Have you ever tried to talk to
someone that dim?

I do in fact do that repeatedly. One mate of mine
is that. Yes, he does ask some rather stupid
questions at times but that's really no big deal.


Try following him while he's driving.


I've actually been in the car when he was driving.

He Doent have a lot of accidents.


People can be stupid in different ways. Einstein was good at science, but he believed in god.
