Serious: How soon will driverless vehicles be widely in use?

Driverless vehicles are retarded...

There are further complications, viz;



Will you need a drivers licence to operate an automated vehicle?

Will the automated vehicle be able to respond to ALL road hazards and conditions. If not, how quickly will it transfer control to a passenger?

If the vehicle is detected committing an offence, will the operator in charge be liable? At what point does liability move between vehicle and the human operator?

At what point is control of the car deemed to be in the operators hands?

Will automated cars cost more to insure?

What benefit do automated vehicles provide over the current system of road transport?

Who owns the data recorder that each vehicle will be fitted with? Can law enforcement officials seize the data for accidents or traffic breaches?



There are many other questions regarding this issue. But in my view the main one is "what is the point of these robotic transportation devices"?

Good points.

Exactly. There is no point

And in addition to having to deal with the entire country of China's disapproval, on top of Ford's new electric pickup being featured by and driven in by the President of the United States, and having to deal with a continued slew of neverending mysterious accidents involving Teslas, all while dealing with the wrath of the bitcoin community, it appears Tesla is once again back in logistics hell.



Model 3 and Model Y vehicles are being put on a containment hold, but the reason why is unclear. Sources close to the company have speculated that "an unknown part" is missing, the report says. Regardless, the hold means that the vehicles cannot be delivered.



The report also notes that up to 20,000 vehicles could be affected and that the number "could go up" as there was "no known fixes nor a timeline for a fix" as of early this week.



One of the better parts of electrek's analysis, however, wasn't just the obviously leaked excuse from the company. It was the blog's "best case scenario" as a result of the bottleneck:



"The way I see it, the best case scenario is a massive logistical nightmare on top of the end-of-the-quarter push," editor Fred Lambert wrote.
