"“There are more cars and trucks on the road today than ever,” said Burch, who also serves as chairman of American Trucking Associations. “You’ve got to look at those things.
” If you go back 10 years, there was less technology in cars, he said. Texting is a prime problem, in his view.
“If you really dive deep into those accidents, I think you’re going to find a lot of those drivers being on the telephone, texting while driving,” he said. More cars and more distracting technology equal problems, he said.
“Those are some tough numbers,” Burch said."
The insane thing is, no matter how many places make it a serious moving violation (here in Ontario it's a $450 fine and 3 points against your license) people STILL DO IT! We as a society have developed a crippling addiction to our cell phones. I even see cops doing it!Great...more regulations on the way.
Thanks to President Trump, for every new regulation that's passed, two more have to be eliminated!!Great...more regulations on the way.
Right..like programmers are perfect. These cars will never cause problems. When I'm finally "rstirred" and driving around doing errands, I'M the problem behind the wheel...Those vehicles must therefore respond and adapt to the idiosyncrasies and mistakes of humans behind the wheel."
And by the time you're "rstirred", you'll have to watch out for those automated "FedeEx" trucks that'll probably be programmed by ESL people!!Right..like programmers are perfect. These cars will never cause problems. When I'm finally "rstirred" and driving around doing errands, I'M the problem behind the wheel...
Embrace it brother!FedeEx???? Is the extra E for electronic???
Sorry, Red. That was my inner JD coming out...
Seeing as how you're the CHO of "FedeEx", I thought maybe you had some insight...FedeEx???? Is the extra E for electronic???
Now my inner JD is coming out!!Just so y'all know, I'm still CHO (chief hat officer) of FedeEx Freight and not rstirring anytime soon...
The fallacy of the self-driving vehicle is that it is NOT a human being. Nor is it in any way intelligent. These vehicles operate on pre-programmed parameters in response to feedback from sensors.The simple question about self-driving cars that we still can’t answer

"“[If] I honk my horn, will it do any good?” Harper wanted to know.
Mike Abelson, GM’s vice president of strategy, didn’t have an answer. “We haven’t reached that point of deciding how and whether it would be appropriate for vehicles to react and in which way to honking a horn,” he said.
The brief exchange highlights a massive thorn in the side of automakers and policymakers alike: Self-driving cars will have to share the road with human drivers, likely for decades to come. Those vehicles must therefore respond and adapt to the idiosyncrasies and mistakes of humans behind the wheel."
True... All of the fantasy improvements in safety and efficiency, touted by advocates, can only occur if/when all vehicles are autonomous. That transition period, 10 years or more, will/would be challenging, at best. People will take advantage of the pre-programmed parameters of the autonomous vehicles and defeat them on a massive scale.The fallacy of the self-driving vehicle is that it is NOT a human being. Nor is it in any way intelligent. These vehicles operate on pre-programmed parameters in response to feedback from sensors.
They will only work as perfect as they say if every vehicle on the road is one of them. And that's only going to happen if the government ever has the nerve to ban all non-autonomous vehicles from the roads.
Then it would look like a game of Frogger out there?The fallacy of the self-driving vehicle is that it is NOT a human being. Nor is it in any way intelligent. These vehicles operate on pre-programmed parameters in response to feedback from sensors.
