Also, how are you gonna be alerted when a component breaks out??? Since AVs will probably more complex to do the said emergency stop, dont you think that's tough-provoking enough???

How bout this, join me in this thread and discuss cons and pros in here

Have you ever flown in a modern airplane?
You can fly halfway around the world in a jet that can tell you every minute detail of what’s wrong with the jet.
We’ve flown to the moon and built space stations with the same technology.
It’s really not that hard. The way it works is critical systems have a redundant system. If something fails, it compares the questionable data with the data from an independent system. If it doesn’t match, it throws a fault. Then you drive it manually. This is how air and spacecraft work. On a car the risk is much less because you’re not flying.

I’m against it. Never will be in favor of it.

So I take it you were also against the switch to motor cars too? due to how many people have been killed or injured...

Or, do the positives outweigh the negative safety aspects?

I dont know anything that, but my basic point was, if people are concerned with safety relating to SD cars, and that is the main reason they do not want to see them, how can they accept and tolerate motor cars (100s of 1000s have been killed due to motor cars over the years), but in general, most people agree, the positives of motor cars outweighs the negatives.

I've agreed w/you on just about everything over the past year, but I enjoy driving a vehicle.
As opposed to being driven like Miss Daisy.

I don't see it either unless it's done in a very controlled environment.

If a town was built from scratch with self-driving cars in mind, I could see it working. They would need the road system designed specifically for self driving cars and have systems/physical barriers that prevent things that aren't self-driving cars from entering the road and causing problems.
