There's always an upside. Getting home from the pub in your driverless electric dodgem will be a breeze, just sit in the back and wave at the nice policeman.  ;D ;D

Ha , taxed for waving, brilliant!

Here's the thing with driverless cars though, in a completely unavoidable accident, where the choice is running over an 80 year old woman or a 20year old woman, a human would run over the 80 year old, because we can make that sort of complex moral judgement, what would a driverless car do?

We're told a "completely unavoidable accident" won't happen with driverless cars :-X

My guess is it would run one of them over and then reverse up to take the other one out due to some kind of "fairness " algorithm 😄

A good point is that if it breaks down all you do is switch it off and back on again... always works, except for printers  ;)
