The problem with computer controlled cars is that it needs to be all computer controlled cars, and really they should all be running the same algorithm. On the one hand it's a great idea, and certainly better from a safety standpoint - on the other, a lot of people won't give up the ability to drive.
And Skynet. We musn't forget Skynet.
That is indeed the problem, and why they are ultimately doomed. Or we are.
I cannot imagine a world where I give up my control and commute how google thinks is best. Fuck that. And I work for them.
I could see having a commuter driverless car, and then a regular weekend car, but that runs into the aforementioned conflict. Unless! Driverless cars fly a la Jetsons. Then regular people could drive on the ground and the driverless cars could zip around in the 15-200' airspace
And I really like to drive, and also, Idaho is off the grid in many areas as far as cell coverage and what not, so unless it is stand-alone or satellite based, I don't think it will work here.The problem with computer controlled cars is that it needs to be all computer controlled cars, and really they should all be running the same algorithm.

i can't trust google to do an internet search correctly.
It is why the f**King new style iTunes, Amazoncloud, googlemusic whatever it is, etc. cloud based music services piss me off. I bought a big capacity phone because I want to carry all my music I want, as I don't want to have to stream it from your damn cloud. (not you 335, you know what I mean). And many times, I cannot stream. So when I sync my phone, I expect the music I selected to be actually on my phone. Also, I would like the program to make it easy to access and control my music, rather than route me to a damn internet station. And this cloud stuff still makes me nervous. What with Google driveageddon and all. http://www.computerworld.com/articl...re-why-i-m-typing-this-in-microsoft-word.htmlDon't worry, we are working on satellite based internet service for 3rd world countries. And Idaho.

I'm glad to hear that Newark, NJ will get satellite internet soon.
No satellite broadcast can penetrate the cloud of stink that floats over Newark.
