In this case an early adapter could turn into a late one... if you know what I mean. MarcW - 8 years ago |

Part of the challenge in driving in snowy Minnesota is knowing the safest way between two points when the weather gets bad. The safest way is usually not the shortest distance. Think hills and stretches one knows to be particularly difficult. I am not worried that we will see self driving cars in the foreseeable future.

It would be awesome for the trip down to Florida for March Break with the family in the family hauler..... Leave late in the evening when traffic is light... get on the interstate after crossing the border at I75 after Detroit... set the cruise and nod off and wake up when it's light 6-8hrs later and pull over for a pee break and fill up.....
Would make the trek down from home to Florida much more tolerable, It's over 20 hours driving from where we are.

Re: Will self-driving cars have highly visible all-around warning signs, like student driver cars have? MarcW - 8 years ago |
Serious query. They could be perceived at best as any other human-driven car bumbling along. Laz - 8 years ago |

I suspect you ask tongue in cheek, but a serious reply is "no". At least I think not.
Self-driving cars will be distinctive enough they'll be recognizable for some distance though.

I see it as a serious question. How will these self driving cars be distinctive to human drivers? There are lots of people out there who see a Porsche as being an out-of-the-ordinary car, but they don't know it's a Porsche. They really would need something (besides a different coloured licence plate) different so everyone recognizes that this is a self driving car. Maybe a flashing light on the roof like school buses have in some states or a student driver type of sign like Laz suggested.
