Autonomous Vehicles is a community dedicated to the news, discussion and exploration of autonomous vehicles and how we as a society, will embrace this futurology today!
Will we see a day when manually driving a car is as illegal and socially unacceptable as driving drunk or without a seatbelt? I'd guess so. Tech like this will become standardized along the way to full Level 5 self-driving.
There's a whole demographic of people aged 80+ who face restrictions on their driving as they age further. I would expect Volkswagen and others to be marketing car software along these lines tailored to their needs and problems.
It should become as frowned upon as no seatbelts, at least. I imagine there will be a grey area as long as things stay at 3/4 and you have to do things manually sometimes, though, so no prison time like with drunk driving.
My 17 year old car does this too except for the safely part
Which side of the highway does it drive to? :)
Also, it calls an ambulance too?
