Can't wait 'till they're on the road 200

Volvos and Sabbs are MooseProof. Guess we'll find out if they are Self-Driving-Car Proof. Because da industry will not come to its senses...recall(sic) Da Pinto and Da F100(xx) Pick-Up exploding gas tanks.

It’s never good news when an autonomous automobile is involved in an accident. Lately, Alphabet’s Waymo crashed an autonomous bus in Las Vegas, and Uber managed to flip a self-driving Volvo in Arizona.

In the latest installment of autonomous car accidents across America, a self-driving test car from the Ford-backed startup Argo-AI was severely damaged Wednesday that sent two people to the hospital.

Can't wait 'till they're on the road 200

It's a calm Saturday morning in August of next year. Suddenly, across the nation, 12,000 Tesla Model S sedans start up at the same time. They engage Tesla's vaunted autopilot feature and head out onto the road. Some of them make their way to local gas stations. Some to electrical substations. And then, as they approach, they accelerate to top speed. The explosions are fantastic as the Model S batteries rupture and spark fires, which ignite anything flammable in the area. The power grid in the Los Angeles area is brought down almost immediately. Hundreds of fires rage. America is under attack. This might sound like science fiction. It's not.

Hi,

The Van Truck ran a red light. In that case it would not matter who’s guidance system was on or not on. These foam and plastic cars are not military tanks.

Are you implying that their programming can or will now look out for our old Volvo’s.
Will the autonomous cars run away or stop out in the middle of the road confused!
I like the first part.
Not to crazy about the second part!

I figure the insurance companies like us and are thankful for Our cars to be a cheap payout.
Like Elk, Once hit its gone and all done!
I have lately seen a lot of Volvos in movies for nostalgia or for stunt crashes!

Insurance companies don’t pay to replace ours but are glad we were on the road!
Their client gets their one time “free accident forgiveness policy gimmick” by missing some $30 to $60 K SUV with a black box that snitches out the truth of what happened.
Oh! That Old Volvo has an inferior braking system or wasn’t fast enough on taking off from the light!

We could be considered as “road kill” since it doesn’t need those many thousands of dollars for damages!
My used car just went up in value!
To my way of thinking, we are worth half as much as a new vehicle, for being the right moving obstacle, in a test of real life driving!

Phil

the big payoff for the Owners later on will be that they can drive where they please.

When those Owners of Self-Driver's see the flash on the in-dash screen: "You are not permitted to enter this Zone. You are Coded for Zone 6 this Zone is only open to those coded 8...turn back. (fu)k that I'll just hit the gas and go where I want to go...Wait Wait there is no gas pedal, no steering wheel. Oh fu)K)

And U bought and PAID for this.
