There is no indication that the accident would not have happened in a fully autonomous car.

Currently it is better than average, and by every accident it will improve exponentially.

So you are saying that there should be no Automatic transmissions because it greatly reduces the amount of input from the driver and effort needed to drive,,,

By driving allongside other cars you accept the risk that one of them might fail to opperate its vehicle correctly and couse an accident.

You are right a true autonomous car will take still many years of development, that is why the Tesla system is NOT an autonomous car..

It requires driver supervision at all times. At this case the driver failed to do so and unfortunately died.

I guess that it is still better then a world where people are paying no attention and there is no sensors and computer to keep everyone alive

Have you ever read the kind of disclaimer some products have??

You would be amazed by the kind of shit they suppose it might happen

Skynet gives... skynet takes..

Which you can try to avoid by menaging you rate of desceleration..

It is called defensive driving...

It was just a matter of time...

Actually the standard car beat the Rover time.

It is both funny and sad to hear you talking about corolla as it was the cheepest and lowest form of car that someone could drive while in my country they are very expesive and only affordable new if you sit ery high on the food chain..

They won’t...

and had an even crazier engine!

They won due to exceptional reliability and fuel economy...no joke!

They might not have the sales numbers outside US but they certainly have the brand image and force!

It happens that I already did studies on the economics of replacing Diesel engines for gas turbines and also on the hybridization of long haul trucks, and the math didn’t checked out for both cases...

I’m eager to se what have they done, if they have done anything...

As far as I know the current rules do not limit the boost, only the maximum fuel flow...

Offcourse this indirectly limits the max boost you can run on before it stops making power, but still...

I wonder how it will sound?!

world wide those brands are irrelevant, nd probably will continue to be so! Harley on the other hand probably is the most famous bike brand on the planet. Even if some other eletric bike company emerges in the next five years and menages to be competitive, it will take them much longer to create a strong brand
