Can't you just say, "drivers need to take the wheel if the robotic driver is not working and for their freedom"?

Should man be banned from driving when this takes place?

This is a slippery slope fallacy and I won't respond to that. What I do is that auto cars will probably come with manual override for emergencies.
 
Also another reason why I believe humans will never be banned from driving vehicles is that don't forget about off-road driving where in that situation it is completely up to the driver's own freewill of where they want to go and what course of action they want to take at the moment.

It's not like you can't decide your destination anymore.

That's not what I was suggesting. I was suggesting that it takes away a person's freedom of choice of driving the vehicle or putting it on auto-drive.

Humans....banned from driving vehicles? Where did this strawman come from?

Off-road driving? How many people you see drive off-road? Again, that's where manual interference comes in.

Why would anyone want to tediously drive a vehicle when an automatic option is preferred?
 
okay baby luigi, i have to ask you a question

have you ever driven before

if not, then you can't really comment on why someone would want to "tediously drive" a vehicle
 
^per

Also, it doesn't matter how many people actually drive off-road, it's the fact that people do drive off-road as a hobby.

And Baby Luigi, I advise you to read the entire discussion before saying stuff. I did not say that humans should be banned from driving vehicles, nobody stated that as their position, it was simply a question that somebody asked.

Actually, yes I have, but only a little bit since I was just getting used to how a vehicle works so all I drove was on the parking lot and I have yet to own a driver's lisence. Yes, I have plenty of experience with drivers who tend to get their attentions diverted (coughmymomcough), so making cars driverless certainly helps solve the problem. I have a short attention span too-I have no idea how I can keep my attention on the road for long periods of time.

Well, I'm sure that auto-cars will come with manual overdrive. Just like planes.
 
so you really don't understand how enjoyable it can be to drive, then

i thought so. you talk about driving as such a tedious task when it takes little to no effort once you're used to it, and it's quite enjoyable to speed down the highway with your windows rolled down. it's also enjoyable sometimes to just drive around aimlessly, trying to just discover what's around.

i could go on about the benefits of driving myself around, but i'm not sure you'd understand because all you've driven is in a parking lot. which is a good way to start, but definitely shouldn't be used to base your opinions of driving on.
 
yes, I want to drive for the sense of freedom, but most of my opinions of it come from my constantly complaining and aging parents. I'm also worried I might get distracted: I get distracted and lost in thought even when I'm playing Mario Kart.
 
Sorry, multitasking...not one of my greatest strenghts
 
no i mean it gets to the point where it's as automatic as walking and talking, or at least on easy roads like highways
 
You're right...I really want to drive too. But I'm pumped for driverless cars as well.
 
that's also my position
if we format all the roads especially so that cars can drive themselves (essentially like everyone owning their own miniature bus) then manually driven cars become a danger, or even having the option could be a danger, a car driving itself would not stop drunk driving for example, because the drunk person would probably steal the wheel away from the car and kill someone with their stupidity

also about off road driving
a)bad for the environment, should only be done in designated off road driving tracks, and never on beaches
b)people could just buy a designated off road vehicle, most off road vehicles already aren't street legal, these designated vehicles would be driven manually, and not be street legal
 
It's hard to enjoy driving when you need to remind yourself that you're driving what is essentially a killer on wheels.

Plus, I get distracted, even when I'm supposed to be super-focused while playing Mario Kart. Heck, I drove into a curb in the parking lot because I was distracted. That might get to me one day.

let me ask you the same question i asked your sister

have you ever driven before?
 
I just said I drove into the curb one time because I was distracted for a second.

Driving for me feels stressful. Nowadays, when somebody is driving me, I play mental pictures of the car crashing from another car and my life ending like that.
 
sounds like your stress is self-inflicted

i mean if every time you went on an airplane you worried about it crashing

or every time you went on a boat you worried about it sinking

or every time you went to sleep you worried about the house catching on fire

or every time you used a cell phone you worried about the slight levels of microwave radiation that could cause cancer

or every time you saw a gun you worried about it going off accidentally (this is one where worry is justified, PLEASE be careful with firearms)

There comes a point in life where you simply have to accept the risks of what you're going and get used to them.

so just because I care about the environment and I'm actually aware of the harmful side effects of what is obviously an environmentally harmful sport/hobby I'm the bad person
 
for a start its one of the greatest threats to sea turtles
http://www.conserveturtles.org/seaturtleinformation.php?page=threats
often times people wont even notices nests of turtles or plovers that get driven over, and turtle nests buried several under ground will still be crushed by vehicles driving over them, leaving no visible evidence they existed
 
the same article also claims
Beach Furniture and other recreational equipment (e.g., cabanas, umbrellas, hobie cats, canoes, small boats and beach cycles) can reduce nesting success and increase false crawls on nesting beaches. There is also increasing documentation of nesting females becoming entrapped in beach furniture.

have you ever seen a mother sea turtle attempt to reach the upper beach beyond storm mark, they barely manage it, its entirely possible that a creature, tired, cumbersome, slow and nearly blind on land could get entangled in lawn furniture
