In the news

I can't wait for our robocar overlords. I also don't think it'll mean more cars on the road as less people will own them if they become a decent, autonomous taxi like service with a bunch of interlinked cars picking people up where needed and not parking on every fucking street when not in use, I'm sure some people will want their own still but that too would get less as owning your own car becomes less normal. The more robocars the better too if they're all sharing what they can see, if this car missed magic bag lady jumping out from the shadows, it may not have been a problem if the 18 cars in front of it had clocked her and was broadcasting that to everyone else in real time. Big scary complicated bit of road? Stick up some permanent sensors adding even more coverage to all local cars, would also mean less traffic, even with more cars, as they all work together at busy periods, detouring where needed and not forcing their stupid selves out into pointless places that just block up roads for others. Robot cars killing people is obviously bad, but it's already safer than most dickheads and people have been getting killed by all kinds of slightly more autonomous than it used to be machinery for hundreds of years, at least now it tries to avoid doing so.
