Part one
Our world is changing rapidly, there’s no chance of denying it. We started in the age of steam powered locomotives and now we are using floating Maglev trains to get around town. The idea of jumping into a car, giving the address to your virtual assistant, and leaning back in your seat while texting your friends about how you still managed to get stuck in traffic sounds amazing to me. I can’t wait. But let’s be realistic here. While the car manufacturers have the engineering figured out, there’s the issue of trusting the customers to use them appropriately and agreeing once and for all on a moral code that is fair for all before giving the automobile companies the green light.
Part two
-Can we trust self driving cars?
-The engineering is solid
-There are moral problems to solve
-They can not be used world wide
-They cost too much
-We can’t trust the users a lot
