Driverless Cars

What's the idea, what are they for exactly?

What is the point?

You'll still be sitting there anyway, so if you're not driving what else will you do instead?

Unless I've got this all wrong, I really can't see what the point is. The money could be much better spent elsewhere I'd have thought.

That is not my point.

My question was - what is the point of them?

I quite agree with you Mups, I can't see the point to be honest and I'm sure there will be more accidents to start with when computers go wrong.

No doubt there will, dongle, and that will be a very grey area for claims I would think.

Plus, if they are so good, why do they have a steering wheel?

They wouldn't develop them unless they thought there there was a market for them and that, ultimately, is the point. That's what drives almost all new developments.

Hi Mups
I personally would love to live long enough to be able to make use of driverless cars ,they cant come soon enough for me.
I think theyre going to be very useful in enabling people to get about who wouldnt otherwise be able...not everyone feels able to use public transport so these driverless cars could help them get about.
If theres a market for them they will be made.
