Ten years to go until electric...

<< < (14/15) > >>

The considered opinion of my eldest boy (he studied robotics and has a particular interest in self drive cars) is that personal car ownership is really going to become a thing of the past within the next generation. The ever increasing cost of car ownership to cover revenue shortfalls in our Government, pollution controls, fake congestion levies, and so on....when you view it with the development of self drive cars and electric vehicles...well.... I can see what he is getting at.

If cars drive themselves, you just rent one when you need it. The car does the rest, and when it's not being used...it can take itself off to a free charging pad and top up it's batteries.

No congestion, as they are all centrally operated, no speeding, no parking issues. Larger mass transit units for peak commuting...and you just click on an app...tell it where you are...where you want to go...and pay for the trip.

Take the expense of a driver out of the system, and you make it a LOT cheaper, it never gets tired and can work all day and all night without a break...like an unlicensed mini cab operator....but not as likely to crash or rob you.

Renting a car is all well and good but I have two vans kitted out for work and drive the one that suits my days work best on a given day.
So car share is out of the question. How would a driverless car drive into a feild that doesn't have a postcode or address?

Calling a car or driver on an App is also out of the question for me. Anyone that knows me has seen my flip phone.
You would have a shock if you saw the laptop I'm using its about 15years old not all the keys do what there supposed too and the screen is held up with molegrips.  ;D

I'm quite capable of doing that without a computer controled car.
