You raise valid points, i don't think self driving cars are safe options at all. Just as when the first priuses and other "electronic" type cars came out, flaw after flaw, and many manufacturing recalls. Not "thinking like a robot", just presenting points. Yes the robots could be quite helpful. I didn't even mention solar flares could be the least of US concerns, other countries (communist) could detonate a long range intercontinental missile and there goes our grids. A lot could happen. Im not negatuvistic just see things how they could go. Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
