Discussion on:

Traffic control in a world of driverless cars

Notice in the video how none of the cars stop because the technology allows for them to be woven seamlessly into each other. With current technology, GPS, cars that automatically park - We have embarked into a inovative new world. Lets step carefully, morally, with faith and logic.

The ITS Initiative Main Flaw

The future of automated freight delivery and personal transportation is neither a delivery truck nor a car, the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) initiative main flaw is assuming it will!

Why is anyone trying to figure out how to make a truck and a car drive themselves after they are designed and built to be driven? I suppose the reason is that we already have the vehicles and the roads; but, has anyone considered developing and implementing a fully automated freight delivery and personal transportation system using vehicles no one has to drive from the start? I did and submitted a U.S. Patent Application for it. You can go to my blog to read more about it: http://theitsinitiativemainflaw.blogspot.com/

Maybe they can get these microchip cars able to drive with people, but what happens when one of them hits my car because I did something the programming didn't expect? Too much liability, lawyers and politicians (who are also just lawyers) will kill this idea in America.

And widespread adoption will never occur due to cost. I can get a fairly reliable vehicle on the road for 3-5 thousand dollars. How much will a PC car cost? I'm just too cheap to blow that much money on transportation.

Put our efforts into something useful, this will not work any time soon.
