Would you get into one of these?

The Apple car won't have a steering wheel or pedals! Planned for release in 2024/5 in cooperation with Toyota.

Seems crazy but I read that "Human Error Causes 99% of Autonomous Vehicle Accidents: Study. Of 187 reports of AV accidents, just two could be attributed to poor systems performance."
So such a car may make more sense than it first appears.

Would have to wait for more testing but yup I would.

Sure, once the technology is proven, why not...??

 

[g00dhum0r]

I like to drive my cars...lol

While I consider myself a tech junkie, I am not now, nor will I ever be, ready to trust Toyota or Apple or any other car or tech company with my life. If I'm gonna die in a car wreck, it's gonna be MY fault, not some robot.

A bit pointless unless all cars on the road are AVs. Anyhow, I suppose you input your destination and it takes you from A to B, but how do you get it to take the scenic route?

 

[Weaserlorian]

Same way in any navigation software it's in the settings. Take the scenic route or the fastest route.

 

[Grandad]

But how would it know what a scenic route was instead of just a longer route, unless you have to spend time plotting the route that you know is scenic and then downloading it into the navigation system!

 

[Katzenfreund]

Forget about the scenic and be cynic. Just go to sleep and make it wake you up when you get there.
An additional advantage is, if you should have a fatal accident, you'll die in your sleep.

The app knows what is scenic and the fastest route. Check it out in your car Nav settings.

I have checked it out! TomTom Route Planning, Fastest Route, Shortest Route, Most eco-friendly Route, Walking Route, Bicycle Route! No scenic route listed.
