Yeah I think there are cases where an accident may be unavoidable, regardless of who's driving it. But, statistically speaking, the self driver still seems to be several orders of magnitude safer. Also, if enough cars are driving themselves (and talking to each other about where they are) that speeding car about to T-Bone you might be reported by another car a block away in time for you to move. That's totally hypothetical, but very distinctly within the realm of possibility. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:364544 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
