These things are SCARY. Any 'autopilot' vehicle really should be tested before allowed to be on the road. If they can not see a car how will they see a motorcycle? https://www.wthr.com/article/police-...ad-car-highway |

It'd be nice if states would start banning autonomous vehicles for now, the tech just isn't there. I'd venture a guess that they have caused more damage and loss of life than they have prevented at this point. Interesting to see that the owner got misdemeanor reckless for it. Sent via SM-G950U |

(Yes, I know it's a totally unfair comparison: the total of all driving includes the majority of driving conditions, where you cannot use autopilot, which is still mostly a glorified cruise control presently still limited essentially to in-lane highway use.) Quote:

Autopilot software will just keep getting better. I don't hold out hope that human drivers will stop drinking and texting. As a motorcycle rider I would rather take my chances on a road with all Tesla-style autopilot software even knowing that some drivers will not pay attention as they are supposed to do - rather than ride on our current roads with drivers drinking and texting. Of course the ideal thing would be roads filled with alert, competent, well-trained, sober drivers that are not paying attention to a *%!@$# cell phone. Good luck with that. |

Last year tested 2018 Nissan Altima with vehicle recognition - half dozen tries with BT Harley and the car never picked it up. Doesn't boost my confidence level with autopilot....
