>Driverless Pizzas: Just a Start of Vanishing Driver Jobs - Mish - Global Economic Analysis
Hi Mish,

For all I know you are a passable economist but not very technical or practical.
The dependence of these vehicles on signals which could be taken out by acts of war or natural disasters is unacceptable.
If people like you have their way, the country could easily end up without a single vehicle capable of moving either automatically or by human intervention.

Even if they were mechanically capable of being taken over by human drivers, where can be found sufficiently trained and current drivers?
What you will have though is a very down-skilled population not much use to the Armed Services in time of need.

Also, how long do you think it would take for evil people to work out what fun and how easy it is to destroy and vandalize all these vital and delicate sensors?

Similarly, how long do you think it might be before Jihadists work out how to weaponize these missiles or program them to drive you over a cliff or at high speed into a wall?

Rarely have I heard a more stupid plan than that for autonomous vehicles except for roles such as bomb disposal.

On the other hand, systems providing driver advice, not control, would be an excellent concept.

Support for autonomous vehicles comes only from those who would pass easily as brain dead.

Regards,

Louis Solomons
