I can't really tell if you're being serious or not. The reason why they haven't implemented "auto-pilot" into cars, is because the driver (A.I.) needs to be able to adapt to different situations. There are a lot of calculation to be done in real-time and when something changes, for example a car crashes in front of your car, the A.I. needs to respond and know precisely what needs to be done in order to avoid the loss of human life. It's not always just a matter of hit the brakes.
Just about the dumbest, laziest thing i ever heard. Are people that lame? its not like you jump out of the car and run up to your office. You got to stand there like an anal jack ass with your remote. lol.
How about fixing the price of gas or working on a proper substitute instead?
or because to develop such a smart A.I. to implement in cars would make that car so expensive that maybe only 2% of the public would be able to afford the damn thing and the company would probably have to fold after 4 years. As much as we love our computers... i dont think the general public is ready to let our cars drive for us.
Yes airplanes have A.I. and auto-pilot... but the pilot and his crew are still in there monitoring all the equipment and having to pay attention to whats going on so that they can take over if they need to. The general public has problems paying attention to the road while talking on the phone and feels its okay to be driving a vehicle and texting someone... general public won't be sitting in the car paying attention to whats going on to be ready to take over at a moments notice...

If they can do this why can't they have "auto-pilot" like on iRobot. Oh that's right, because electronic equipment fails and people would die!

So who is "at fault" when your car backs into someone else's and you weren't actually driving?
Talk about an insurance nightmare.
