Small convoys of partially driverless lorries will be tried out on major
British roads by the end of next year, the government has announced.
A contract has been awarded to the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL)
to carry out the tests of vehicle "platoons".
Up to three lorries will travel in formation, with acceleration and
braking controlled by the lead vehicle.
But the head of the AA said platoons raised safety concerns.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
Also I'd expect some yobbos to deliberately place full sized mannikins
in the path of the self driving trucks, which will obviously make the
autonomous trucks stop with the onboard computer scratching it's head
and wondering what to do , just for kicks.

I'll also bet that some yobbos will work out how to make these vehicles
crash etc, by gaining control using Wi-Fi.

Show us some proper stats for the number of accidents caused by drivers
and by autonomous cars, you may include hacked ones if you wish.Â* I
guarantee the drivers are far more dangerous.Â* In fact I think it was
you who told me before that it was a factor of 20.

There's only a few autonomous cars on the road at the moment. The
hacking will start when those cars become far more prevalent.

I would think they are smart enough to know some feature for
anti-hacking are needed and they will be secure.

Meantime, this is what my car is capable of. It is very capable

The manufacturer will get into a lot of trouble if their cars/lorries are
hacked and kill people. They'll avoid this happening.

EVERY manufacturer of ANY car always does that, idiot!
