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...
