It is already fact that insurance companies are anticipating this development
and will require people operating their own vehicles manually to pay much
higher premiums. As such, you can bet that autonomously controlled vehicles
will become the rule and not the exception. The's, the cost of said

So you raise an interesting point, insurance should be almost 0. This is
because humans aren’t driving. I can imagine a time when autonomous drivers
are heavily incentivized by insurance rates or even a point in the distant
future when human driving is uninsurable to the point where human dri

Hi. Yes, on top of car payments, there would be insurance,
registration, yearly inspections, gas/electricity, oil changes, tires,
alignment, and the list goes on.
And yes, we'd be responsible for those costs just like a sighted
person. (And, that is how it should be!)

You mean we would have the same responsibilities a sighted person has? It's
interesting that a lot of blind individuals want the same rights as a sighted
person, however when it comes to the responsibilities of a sighted person it's

You also have to think of the fact that it's not just the price of the car we
would be paying for; there are car payments and ensurance to think about.

Bill, you have a few laws of physics that are in the way of the transporter.
First, the heisenberg uncertainty principle says that the more you try to
determine the position of any given particle the more you impact it’s

Obviously there would be redundant systems so if your computer failed a backup

observations and research, computers crash less than humans do.

I'd love a car which I could use myself. Probably cost a fortune. I could go

Oh I think sited users will do just fine. There are screens where the windows

and it had no (0) windows. Think about that for a minute. Wh
