Apart from having some skilled, standardized, and impartial judge, I suppose the only way one can definitively assert whether or not they are an average (or above average) driver is by their accident record. In order to definitely assert that I am indeed an above average driver (as far as safety is concerned), I went…

For some mini's it's a double wammy. No arrow, and the nozzle is on the other side.

That's awesome that you can turn it off! I guess that's the power of software, electronics and an electric drivetrain.

I think you're confusing car with ICE.

I don't think most people would claim it is a particularly good course, but you can't beat it for novelty and accessibility. This strikes me as a pretty awesome series! Also, thank you for posting that video.

Result: 41-50% Jalop. You get it.

Then you probably shouldn't be driving:

I was going to jump on you for this, but I see others have beaten me to it. :)

There's a concern of ticketing, and then there's a concern of paying attention to the road.

I don't want autonomous cars because I will trust them more than myself, I want them because I will trust them more than everyone else on the road.

The risk is still there, but for a car you almost never ever have a serious problem that you have more than 2 or 3 seconds to resolve. I'm not saying a pilot can be drunk off their ass or taking a nap, but there's orders of magnitude of difference between the intervention times required, which vastly diminish the…

I don't know much about aviation, but I suspect that when a pilot takes the stick to deal with an issue, it's usually something that developed over a few minutes, and takes several minutes or hours for them to "deal" with it. In a car, all of the things you need to react to occur in seconds or fractions of a second.…

I wouldn't bother using an autonomous car that required me to take control. If I still have to pay attention, be alert, and be sober, what's the point? I think a "driver" riding in an autonomous car would have a slim chance of paying close enough attention to detect any problems if the car is handling 99.9% percent of…

Imma be a pedant here, but he didn't put his life on the line to test his product, he put his life on the line to make an ad.

Imma be a pedant here, but the article doesn't explicitly say whether or not the injured passengers had their seatbelts off.

No, in the case you described, you would be completely capable of swerving out of the way. There's a very low likelihood of a roll-over in that case. Where you would run into trouble is when you attempted to swerve back into your lane. If you do that too aggressively, you'll roll over. At that point, the car says…

Once the car got the input to cut back again, the options were either a) listen to the driver and roll over, or b) ignore the driver and not roll over.

I would love the speed limit sign reading in certain other states- in my state 15-20 over is standard fare, but in some others I go to, 2 or 3 mph over will get you pulled over and it changes constantly.

A policy can be very clear but still be ridiculous.
