Robocars - Autonomous Drive, Self-driving, Driver-less cars

If you excluded humans and non robotic cars from town centres, would you even need traffic lights? Theoretically of course, still need to have provisions for cycling and peds but imagine how smooth the traffic flow would be with zero ego twattery and courteous computer brains.

You know how you can get custom ROM chips for engine management systems? I wonder if you will be able to get custom asshole chips for your driverless cars. How long will auto-courtesy last?

I predict that the Addison Lee Custom Chip will be a best seller on Silk Motorway in five years time.

The question is, why would you cycle if you can be driven from door to door quicker, smoother and potentially cheaper than cycling?

Because it's fun.

Those robocars probably don't barspin.

There's a hack for that.

From the idiot who rode to Edinburgh and back.

Because it's fun.

From the idiot who rode 500 miles in 24 hours.

Well, I'd hardly ride 500 miles if it wasn't fun would I*?

*kids, it wasn't fucking fun, not in the slightest, it's was grim.

People would still cycle. They would be the people that could still tie their own shoes or see their genitals without lifting folds of fat.

Some cyclists can't do that now.. not naming any names.. #inbeforefatjokes

Despite this:

Where is is easier to drive people choose driving (self or robo). (see Stevenage), Crazy though is seems to some of us on here

Scobled.

Yeah, I kept reading that hoping that it would make sense if I just gave it one more shot.

Would drivers still be likely to choose a bicycle to use as a transport if driverless car come in effect?

I think I got it at the seventh attempt.

^^Probably less people, especially if it's shit weather.

Why would people who are already happy to sit in traffic with a bunch of other miserable shits want to ride a bike when they can do the aforementioned faster, with less involvement and more safely?

Where it is easier to post from phones, people choose posting from phones, crazy though it seems to civilised people.

Yeah but his question was will robocars make existing drivers cycle.
To which the answer is 'hell no'.

driverless car mean less work for the "driver", and thus appear more appealing.

I get travel sick in a car if I'm not driving.

A) #CSB
B) I bet Oliver thinks I should have called it motion sickness.

Do you get it in a plane if you're not piloting it?
