Do you trust autonomous / self-driving vehicles?
Was surprised to hear that only now can they actually detect speed signs and green lights
Which got me thinking, do you trust autonomous vehicles? Would you be happy for them to share the roads with you?
As a pedestrian (someone who doesn’t drive) would you be happy for them to be on our roads in any kind of self-driving mode enabled?
- Yes
- No
- N/A (I’m a driver!)

At this point, I would only trust them in certain situations. I own a Tesla, and I trust it driving on the freeway and the automatic parking because those scenarios are quite specific. I will not be purchasing the full autonomous driving for my car though.
That being said, I do think this is headed in the right direction and when it gets to full autonomy that it would save a lot of lives. However, I think that is a long way away.

I voted “yes” for all, under the assumption, that street infrastructure is also getting prepared for those cars.
They should not have to rely on camera to identify the state of a traffic light or sign. Signs and lights should “tell” what they are.
I vaguely remember some background story for a pen and paper RPG I played decades ago, where autonomous cars were real, but only on “grid enabled” streets, where special electronic in the street powered the car and also transferred data about speed limits etc.

From the reports Tesla has put out, the number of accidents of cars in self-driving modes is significantly less than when humans are driving, by an order or magnitudes.
Ideally they would not get in accidents at all, but even as of a few years ago they were already significantly safer than a human, so human driving needs to be reducing as much as possible.
Honestly if we could get full self driving of all cars then a lot of the human reactionary things aren’t as needed, they could drive perfectly and smoothly. ^.^
