Can anybody say mass accidents? Fuck technology... *recognizes the irony of using a computer to post on the internet*
I think the computers will do a better job than the massive amount of traffic accidents we are having today. It will become like one of those rare statistic things, like when a plane crashes. Then if a car crashes, it will REALLY become news.
It's possible that the efficiency could be extremely advanced; but computers don't think. If they are able too, then they will not be under our control... I Robot comes to mind. Besides, if some people weren't complete fucking morons behind the wheel, there wouldn't be so many accidents based on operator incompetency.
I just practiced going forward and backwards in the automatic transmission car. The manual is so fucking hard
