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.....

Which is why people don't want to spend Ł1000s on a self
driving car that ****s up or kills them, they can have that


No, they get 20 times less ****ups.

The California DMV said it has received it has received 95
autonomous vehicle collision reports as of August 31. Dozens of
companies have received permits to test self-driving vehicles on
California roads, but those permits require the presence of a human safety driver.

Just how amny of these atomomous cars are there a few dozen
comparded to....

You say 95 collisions with autonomous vehicles, but you don't say
how many manually driven cars have had collisions.

Because it's such a small sample, we don't narrow down the number
of manual collisons of 100 or so cars and that is why there are so
many more collisins with manual cars because we count the cars in
millions NOT dozens.
What's needed is a rate of accidents a figure they will not give out.

I've seen it, and it's 20 times larger for human driver than automated cars.

Then yuo should be able to cite it then shouldn't you ?
Presenntly there are NO automated cars, anyway and the cars that are
used as driverless aren't tested amonst real road users they just go
round and around on test tracks, no wonder they don't have accidents.

But if they are so good why do they require a human at the wheel ?

Because they are not THAT good.

So humans are still better at driving cars than humans, that is the point.

Are you drunk again? Rewrite that sentence.

Nothing wronfg humans are humans they are all difernt even if only slightl;y so have one faulty human driver isnlt such a dig deal like yourself who can't see a deer in front of them and can't stop in time isnt such a big deal but when you have 100,000s of them and none for them cane yuo end up with serious problems it;s why you have to have recalls for faulty products.
With humans you remove their driving license if they can't drive properly and it;s not big deal except for teh person who has their license removed do that to 100,000 cars in a day and you have problems.

Computerised cars can easily be updated with better programs, you can't do that with humans.

Yes you can it's called training.

Not as easy as updating the software in every computer.

But that won;t work it's the semsors and hardware that will need updating.
It's like phone Apple haven't just upgraded the software for their iPhone3GS
so it's compatable with face recognition and everything else have they.
So you wouldn't be able to do that with cars either.



just software that might need changing, but then nyou;'d have to understand the technologies involved rather thsan just assume they work by magic.

of course if you can't tell a real car from a fake wooden one ?,
Could you tell the differnce between a faked wooden car and the real thing ?

People make mistake...

The person saw the car, the co puter in the car didn't.
People are still better at driving cars than cars driving themselve, and that is why currently all driverc assisted cars come with a steering wheel and pedals otherwise why put them in the car just to waste money, to take up an extra seat, to make the cars heavier and less efficient ?
