I am just glad that I was not in the car....

Post by cyprusmax47 »

Watching with joy Dominic's road trips, I feel really relaxed. However I came across this video of a self driving Tesla car in snowy conditions which nearly made me sick....
There were some situations the car just ignored basic rules of driving. I think there is still a long way to go. Imagine driving along with Cypriot farmers in their old smelly pick-ups. On the other hand it is already amazing to drive like that. What happens if there is a snow/ice covered road, or people ignoring red traffic lights?

Just ignore the first 3 minutes of the video!

Yeah well, you can forget thinking about buying one of those I reckon.
I definitely prefer to make my own decisions.

With crowded roads there are too many idiots around for me to rely on that tech at the moment but no doubt it will be safer when all cars are built the same
