Hello Veeky Forums,

Veeky Forums here. We all know the future is heading in the direction towards self-driving vehicles and it's likely to happen in the next 10 - 15 years. Eventually human operated vehicles will be prohibited from use on public roads. It will become a ethical imperative to do so. With that being said, how much would you be willing to pay for a track membership so you can drive? Don't factor in inflation - use today's dollars.

Thanks

You trying to make a bizness out of this huh?

send me coupons and Ill let you know

Self driving cars will only last until one kills an innocent kid. Then there will be so many regulations on them they will become impractical.

Sauce on the track is Monticello Motor Club, by the way.

They won't, unless the kid runs out in front of the car, in which case the A.I will have a better chance of reacting in time than a human would.

Making roads across the united states consistent enough that a computer can drive on them flawlessly would be prohibitively expensive.

What's going to happen is that "driverless" cars will get HOV privileges or in certain high traffic areas they'll put in a driverless lane.

That's your next 10-15 years, optimistically.

What if the kid is guilty?

My question is, when will manufacturers have programming competitions to see whose car can get around a track fastest autonomously?

oh yeah because humans never drive over each other! ban those death machines!

idiot, it's only a matter of who is at fault and who is paying the damages

It's easy to blame humans, how do you blame AI though?
