H...I thought this was a really interesting article. However, the big question it brings up is the car's ability to predict what other drivers are going to do. I can see the idea of fully automated cars working and being successful, however, we can not expect technology to predict a human's behavior all of the time. This can work, however, I believe it only will until it is all automated cars on the road, where there can be no irrational behaviors made by humans, such as cutting people off or speeding up to avoid letting a car in the lane. I agree with the majority of people in the article that I do not feel comfortable riding in a fully automated car, I would like some control, that is until every car is automated. This curve will take a while, since everybody is driving manual cars today, cars that can last decades. You further bring up a good point about the economy. Besides a huge spike in unemployment, I would further be concerned about how much these cars are going to cost everyday people. If a Honda will no longer be at an affordable price people may not buy their car from there. Further I do not see people spending more for cars if they are automated but there are still risks involved. This crash, though very small, really proves the point that we as a society might not be ready for automated driving cars, since the point of these cars are to be safer options for people then driving. It will not be until it has had a grace period, automation is a standard, and the kinks are really worked out, that I believe these cars will really be successful.
