I can actually buy into that under perfect circumstances a driverless vehicle is safer for everyone but what happens when there's an emergency such as a fire, accident, car jacking, dead battery, smoke coming from the engine, robbery, or a deer runs out and you go off the road let alone the one other million things that can happen.
How do you know that soulless robot isn't going lock the doors and entrap you while you're shitting your pants waiting for the AAA guy to come a shrug his shoulders because it's a robot? There's approximately 137,000 libraries in Python and as far as I know no one has come up with: import WhenShitHitstheFan. |

The robots are controlled to some degree by, what is essentially, drone operators. If you trust the meme economy, the cars are probably driven remotely from an Indian call center.

I want a lot of people to have an auto driving vehicle but I definitely wouldn’t want one myself. I rent a lot of cars with the lane sensing features and the annoying cruise control feature that slows you down when it senses a car in front of you. One time I was trying to pass an oversized vehicle and getting over a little extra and the car tried steering me back into the oversized vehicle. While this feature is probably very nice to inattentive drivers, I wouldn’t trust it to save my life in a situation it’s not used to seeing which is why they call them accidents. They would work if everyone had them, but the mixture of self driving and idiot driving vehicles is very dangerous in my opinion

Lol, anyone that gets into a car that doesn't have some kind of basic controls for the passenger(s) deserves what happens to them.
Not too many years ago, Airbus proposed a commercial airliner in which not only would there not bey any windows for the pilots, but most of the flying, including landing procedures, would be entirely handled by the computers. never met a pilot that thought that was a good idea, for obvious reasons. Same applies to cars.

There are a lot more variables on the road, but strictly operating the machine, computers talking to satellites are better. Deere is chasing autonomous too. They're doing it apparently with imagery processing. I thought that was the hard way to get there, but that's apparently the way. I still don't know how they get around liability. Not a lawyer and don't want to even pretend to be one. But in tractors we have to accept a screen that says operator is responsible for collision avoidance. I take that to mean liability. If I am not in the cab I can't be responsible for the liability associated with collision avoidance. The only entity left is mother Deere. I'm 100% sure Mother Deere isn't here for that. Same with cars. If the manufacturer is on the hook for liability, one has to look no further than their insurance premiums over the last 5 years to see the problem there. I think it will be better with non-human drivers, but I'm skeptical the lawyers will get out of the way. |

Is collision avoidance really that big of an issue with a tractor? I wasn't aware that was even much of a concern. Do you spend a lot of time doing that? I am not an expert like you are on the tractor, but from my understanding the tractor is being helped to fertilize/till/spray/sew or whatever you are doing by satellite GPS for efficiency, correct? I was amazed by the demo our farmer did for us on his equipment with these capabilities. The more I think about it, our farmer must do a lot of that as the ground they farm is spread out over at least 20 miles. |

So it will follow a path through the field. That's how all the corn rows end up perfectly straight. Basically you turn the corner, push the button and it drives the pass. Then you turn the corner and engage it again. It keeps the guess row perfect and the rows straight. There is some other stuff out there, but everybody has autosteer. Collision avoidance isn't a huge deal, especially out here but it's where all the liability is. Neighbors kid runs out in front of an autonomous tractor, knocks down a transmission line, smokes an oil well, all those get real expensive real quick. |

Because it does completely change the ballgame when liability shifts to the car maker, not the insurance company. I’m intrigued on how insurance is handled in the farm space. I assumed liability would defer from insurance to manufacturer but that’s interesting if they shifted a lot of that to the operator. Have they priced that out of insurance premiums? Since farms are so far along with implementation it seems like the blueprint although I imagine the car manufacturers would have to assume way more liability than an equipment manufacturer |
