This is a pilot test delivery vehicle but has NO human on board. So far only allowed in one zip code from one grocery company. The person getting a delivery has a code to unlock the hatch and take the groceries. Not sure how long it will be before one of these is hijacked.
Wouldn't that still mean the self driven car did not stop on it's own when coming up on a pedestrian? I only remember the headlines, never looked further into it.
I am sorry but replacing a human on an assembly line is one thing, replacing a human for everything is another. Not a fan at all and would love to see laws against this kind of stuff before we become the country that the movie Idiocracy depicts. Everyone relying on a computer to do everything and the largest company providing everything while we all become gradually dumber.
I actually think the comment about a self driven car bomb was interesting. I would bet that nobody has even thought about that situation and how to control something like that, too busy counting their profits at all costs.
