According to Tusk, he will have a fleet of 1,000,000 Robotaxies this year.

Now I don't know if I will live out this year but I think so? I have a feeling you're going to be correct and tusk is FOS like always.

OP; almost 400 people lost their lives in plane wrecks due to outsourcing software to $9 an hour workers in other countries. And they have found more bugs in the software after testing it to return those planes to service.

Boeing outsourced its software to $9 an hour engineers.

Nice hu? Naaaaa, I will take my TV with a steering wheel and pedals.

Way to put a positive spin on this discussion ! ! :B

All this cyber stuff might fly in California, but I would like to see a driverless car navigate snow and ice covered roads here in Canada. I wouldn't want to be in one in a snow storm.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Maybe, tho not likely, after they install intelligent highways with guidance built into the road. But not now or in the near future.

Does that make you a control freak? :B

You betcha.

When/if this technology hits tow vehicles how would you hitch up a trailer or 5er? What would happen if trailer sway occurred? A tire blow out or mechanical failure?

I might not even being towing anymore by the time this technology makes it into heavy duty trucks.

Just thought of something, no more speeding since you can't control the accelerator.
Absolutely no reason to be in the cab of the truck you could go to bed in the RV and wake up at your destination (hopefully).

I'm with the OP... I am all for progress, but at some point you need to be able to override that non thinking piece of electronics...
