Self-driving cars can be fooled by fake signals

68. True or not, Freepers use this technology to argue against passenger rail.

Not you, of course, but it needs to be kept in mind.
There's a LOT of pushback against High Speed Rail and against light rail and other public transit.

And a lot of opponents say that Uber and Google cars and V2V technology will save the day, and that V2V technology in particular will triple the capacity of highways because we'll all be driving in "car trains".

Well, it's just not so, V2V only increases density where traffic is light and moving, by decreasing inter-vehicular distance.

A lot of cars have collision avoidance, I don't know how long before a significant number are autonomous for braking and steering, but there will be glitches and a growing number of people cannot afford a new vehicle.

I'm all for just killing the auto era altogether where possible, and millenials are looking for a world without cars, too.

that's all, rant off!
