Re: Connected Cars
On a per-mile basis, autonomous cars are arguably safer than humans, but they can't adapt to as many new situations (yet). Human drivers are far from perfect.

Re: Connected Cars
@mhhf1ve yes, you are right, but untill they fix all the bugs and make it safe... as it always a never ending process...

Re: Connected Cars
Semi-autonomous cars will get safer if they can share vehicle to vehicle V2V data among themselves. But there will need to be some kind of regulation to require ALL vehicles to communicate with each other -- so that semi-truck trailers can tell other cars when they're crossing multiple lanes of traffic. However, the cost of V2V systems will have to come down a lot. Trucking companies have been fighting against side rails that would have prevented the recent Tesla Autopilot death.

@mhhf1ve it a scary reality of self-driving cars, where software or hardware get fatal error... it scary...

Re: Connected Cars
Unfortunately, a driver was recently killed in May while his Tesla was in Autopilot mode. The driver, Joshua Brown, may have been watching a DVD when his car collided with semi-truck trailer at full highway speed. Brown apparently was a geek who was fully aware of the shortcoming of Tesla's semi-autonomous software, but he trusted it too much.

It will be interesting to see how automakers react to this kind of tragedy. Will they treat it like a cheap ignition switch defect or will they take at least some responsibility for fatal accidents? I think Ford, Google and Volvo say they will take responsibility, but no one has died in one of their autonomous cars (yet)....

Re: Connected Cars
I'm not so sure the "connected" part of the car is doing the self-driving. I think autonomous cars will have most of the computation done within the car itself, not broadcast to a datacenter for further not-so-real-time instructions. Sure, autonomous cars will be updating datacenters with after-the-fact data to help improve future driving events, but the wireless connection isn't critical for a self-driving car to actually drive -- that would be crazy.

Re: Connected Cars
@Batye that may be true, but there is a huge differene between moving at 70 MPH and listening to the radio while in the bath.
