The thing I miss most from my 6-speed manual Avensis diesel. Set and forget on the long journeys.I often use adaptive cruise control on the motorways now
I agree with what you say about the boy racers and idiots but they don't always have control and blame everyone else...The problem is every boy racer and idiot looking to gain a few seconds in their journey time thinks the same.
I often use adaptive cruise control on the motorways now, slows and accelerates with the traffic around you. More chilled experience, and if more did it, average traffic speeds would increase.
That was the point. Most of them will tell you they are highly skilled drivers, putting them in self-driving cars would make it safer for everyone.I agree with what you say about the boy racers and idiots but they don't always have control and blame everyone else...
But I really can't see self drive cars taking off for a long time ...That was the point. Most of them will tell you they are highly skilled drivers, putting them in self-driving cars would make it safer for everyone.
Same here, I'll be dead by the time they are ubiquitous.But I really can't see self drive cars taking off for a long time ...

Motorways are one place I could see automation working. But I think they will struggle to deal with a more unpredictable urban environment.This problem will be solved in the future when all vehicles are fully automated or driver-less.
They will fully communicate and cooperate with each other, unlike the many unskilled, stupid or downright dangerous humans currently operating vehicles on our roads.
This will result in less traffic jams and safer roads.
The sooner this happens the better.

It is the pedestrian walking between the cars I'm thinking of, cyclist weaving through etcA lot of urban driving is in heavy traffic, stop start. Very predictable. You can turn it off once traffic starts moving freely.
By the time this happens we might have riderless bicyclesIt is the pedestrian walking between the cars I'm thinking of, cyclist weaving through etc
The expected unexpected.
They’d be classified as planes….But I really can't see self drive cars taking off for a long time ...
Good oneThey’d be classified as planes….
Waymo's record isn't bad, they're not allowed on Freeways yet so it's all urban & sub-urban driving. Promising given the tech is still relatively early in the development cycle.Motorways are one place I could see automation working.
