"... some idiot joining the Motorway tries diving between you and the next vehicle ..."
Dave, in my country traffic congestion on roads is so bad that drivers have no other way than act like 'idiots'.
As I wrote above I do see how assisted driving systems can be truly beneficial in countries with "normal" traffic (are there still many, Canada ... maybe ?).
But I have no idea how even "AI driving" can work around capitals and/or urban road networks where changing lanes is simply inevitable.
The idea is of course sane ... people are fools and thus inefficient drivers and car intelligence will solve this.
But how will these 'intelligent' cars react to those other 'fools' on the road ... rather foolish too maybe ?
As long as you can de-activate those systems it is OK, but European regulations starting 2022/2024 will force manufacturers to
a.o. limit speeds automatically to traffic sigs and GPS location and so on.
I do not think we will have full control over our cars any longer !
In time all this will be inevitable but FWIW ... I am against these foolish measures.
I am not a believer ... near Brussels (Belgium) these automated cars may take you for ... the accident prone drive of your life
[as always ... hope I am wrong]
