My co-host Sean Leahy and I are joined by advanced driver-assistance systems expert Brunno Moretti on this week's episode of Modem Futura as we explore all things sensor-related in modern cars
I was originally against self driving cars and related features, until I remembered how humans drive, and then self driving cars started sounding like a great idea.
The question is not whether some self driving cars will fail with tragic results, of course that will happen. The question is, how will self driving cars perform in comparison to human drivers? I don't claim to know, but for now, am placing my bet on the computers.
I know this is considered to be an inexcusably cliche remark, but the fact remains, human drivers really do tend to suck. Everyone thinks they're a good driver, but few of us really are. As example, tailgating is absolutely rampant, even though the tailgating driver does not benefit in any way whatsoever, and is in fact risking everything in exchange for nothing. It's just human nature, we want every last foot of pavement that we feel we are entitled to, no matter the cost.
