The robots are going to steal my job!

It will all be gps and sensors on each vehicle. Maybe sensors at all intersections tied into traffic lights and signs
For better control there. The roads will all be the same. The only problem is going to be how the gubment is going to overreach and outlaw any vehicle that doesnt have the tech built in.

 

i forsee severe weather throwing a monkey wrench into those plans not to mention $$$$$ . Now if we were doing it for Ukraine, hell it would already be done.

 

I’m sure there will be lots of no name chinese made driverless “retro” kits sold thru amazon that we can put on our cars to keep them from being yard art.

 

That won't work everywhere. tall objects; mountains, skyscrapers, etc. can block satellite signals and a horde of interrupted GPS signals, even momentarily, would mess up the simplest congestion without each auto having a surface location so the roadways need to be intelligent too.

Think about a NYC taxi squirming through rush hour changing lanes charging through the crowd, how would GPS protect the other hundreds of vehicle in the taxi's path?

 

Yup.

That's why I mentioned the 'lowest bidder' referring to the sterling performance of the low bidder system building the interstates.

How many were rebuilt early?

Who remembers I-287 in NJ where the concrete road surface sank at every overpass 'cause it wasn't thick enough to take the impact of traffic coming off the bridge structure.

Gonna cost us taxpayers a lot!

 

Try driving literally anywhere in BC, Canada. No cell coverage for hours at a time and forget trying to listen to a song on satellite radio without losing signal every couple minutes.

 

Mandated on a classic muscle car. What a nightmare that would be. Just riding along talking about the performance it’s capable of. Yikes!!

 

Got followed in Wal Mart today by this. I stopped, it stopped. Hoped it would hit me. Looks like I’ll just have to keep working for now.
