Why self driving cars will never work
While standing in line at Canada Customs this evening I realized something; self driving cars will never work. People present this utopia where cars drive themselves from point A to point B in nice little lines, merging in and out of traffic seamlessly, with no more accidents.
It will never work.
Why? People don’t like lines. In every line, there is always someone who thinks they are “special” and tries to get ahead. Tonight, due to March break (someone really needs to cancel March break permanently), customs was completely backed up. In other words, there was a really long line. Mixed in with all the crumbling about tax dollars (not) at work and why various people should never have to wait in lines, there were those people trying to do whatever they could to get through the line as fast as they could.
And scientists and futurists think that we as people are going to sit idol and let our cars drive in nice long lines? Self driving cars will never work.
