There are so many things to say about this subject. As a full time truck driver and as all of you know there are infinite possibilities that could happen. Human reaction can be fast or slow depending on the situation. What happens when the computer doesn't react fast enough? Who is at fault for that? Depends on situation. And an area where many precedents will get set.
As a more abstract line of thinking, I halfway blame Hollywood and the like. As the movies flirt with new ideas with technology (and other aspects), people expect these things to become reality. Cell phones, wireless-everythings, flying cars, self driving cars, robots, AI, fun desk jobs... Ha you get my point. Obviously this has been going on for decades. And we are just a part of a long history of technological advances. They always create new problems and I guess it'll probably get better and better eventually.
We don't like it. I can't imagine anything better than my wife by my side scooted right next to me in my pickup driving around the country side waving at neighbors checking fields while Merle is hanging out the passenger window ready to bark at any animal that's not him.
I like to MANUALLY drive my vehicles. If something goes wrong then there's nobody to blame but me. But I do see the other side of the argument where many people who are pathetic and refuse to learn to responsibly handle their PRIVILEGE of driving are all for it and will probably be less accidents and tickets for them in the long run.
It feels like we will inevitably be forced to conform to this change in the long run and that's not at all appealing, in my opinion. It violates our upbringing of responsibility for our own actions and honestly I worry that my own future children will never get to experience the same way.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
