What I would like to know is why haven't the railroads adopted a system like this? There are a lot less variables and CTC is already in place, it would only require installing the final control of the engine to work? Yet the RR's still keep a human in control of the train.

Since the RR's (aside from disasters) don't get major news coverage, I don't have the answer and wouldn't know the search terms for research. However I'm sure the answer is contained within the industry.

We are miles away from the point where full autonomy should be handed over to the idiot box.

And what makes you such an expert?

PhilX

No expert just common sense from someone that knows how to code.

Here's an example:-

Volvo fail - Self driving car crashes into peoples

Common sense would also tell you that if driverless cars were such a danger, the government would have put a stop to it a long time ago. So far the evidence indicates they're safer than human-driven cars on average. And they can only get better as the technology improves.

The government? Like the governments around the world that made registered taxi drivers licence plates that cost a fortune null and void by allowing Uber into the market - just to save face and let the rest of the world know they were open to 'innovation'..ridiculous.

So far the evidence indicates they're safer than human-driven cars on average.

Bullshit. The only way to get such data would be to allow them on the roads right now and for many years.

And they can only get better as the technology improves.

The technology is already here, just the programming to envisage ALL scenarios is the reason i state we are miles away from the point of allowing full autonomy on our roads.

I love watching you cringe and squirm. Your excuses are just pathetic and defy common sense and express bullshit. For those like you, I'll continue to post evidence that support my position while showing how weak yours is.

You are too simple to comprehend as proven by you inability to address my points. Like your blind faith in government. Tell me, does your mum still powder your bottom at night?

Ah poor baby, I'm sure you and your mommy clean out each other's doggy's bottoms. Have a good meal.

BTW Brian, all of your points and others have been addressed in this thread. And you haven't addressed any of mine.

Doc,

I doubt this will help out your solar panel problem, but I'm not ruling it out:

This report has an interesting section that talks about driverless cars:

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37925028

It leaves open a number of questions (e.g. what are the real problems?) since speed is a minor part of the problem.

PhilX

The government is not the answer to anything, the government has authority but little knowledge about anything.

The government can get the knowledge through experts which would improve through time.

This report echoes my concerns which I've brought out (plus it goes into representative sampling):
