There's been some nasty accidents in trials, I believe.

Once driverless cars are on the road, I can’t see how manually driven cars can be allowed.

The onboard computers in the cars will talk to each other, arranging priority etc.

A human driver will be unpredictable and be the weak link in the chain.

I think that the future will be driverless shuttles that pick you up on demand. It would be a subscription service, probably tiered to have posh pods for the rich!

Maybe even drones.

The only way I see them being common place, is in a restricted area, no human controlled vehicles, all autonomous and you use the system like a taxi.

You can't blame anyone for an accident, you can't say look where you're going, you can't say cmon man get a move on

Not a chance, unless mine was the only car on the road, its other people I don't trust

There are already driverless taxis running in the USA. There's a driverless bus trial starting in Edinburgh soon.

Last year Milton Keynes held a driverless car trial run.

You can imagine how that went everytime they got to a roundabout!

Caused mayhem with traffic building up behind them as well, as they were following them around in normal cars with people that could take over control of them if need be.

I drive for fun, not just to get around. So I’m not interested in autopilots thanks. Not for me.

I saw an article this week about a trial starting in Edinburgh. They’re going to have a driverless bus operating on a 14 mile stretch, and I’m all for pushing boundaries, but here’s what made me chuckle - there will have to be two employees on board. One to take over the operation of necessary and one as captain to help the lemmings.

How is that progress? Imagine the cost of developing, running and fixing these machines and paying an extra employee!

Possibly on motorways and dual carriageways but no where else. Imagine driving on a narrow country lane not wide enough for 2 vehicles to pass and something's coming towards you. How is this reconciled? Will both cars know where a place to reverse to is? Which one will reverse? There may be one car in one direction and 4 in the other. Human's would be able to sort this out eventually. In my opinion driverless cars are a solution looking for a problem.

Women should be happy about this. Gives them more time to finish eating breakfast and putting on make up while the car gets them to work

Hey, you can actually get a tram all the way to Leith now! It’s only taken … a decade? Longer?

Massive fleets of driverless electric mini bus or mini trams will be the future in big cities.

Private car ownership will likely be as rare in 2060 as it was in 1910.
