Will the future of the automotive industry be boring? Driver 07/31/19 (Wed) 13:14:07 ec610e No.18632

Self-driving cars will swarm our roads within the next couple of decades. They'll be cheaper, safer, more efficient.

Our grandchildren – heck, maybe even our children – will probably never learn to drive a car if they will live in an urban environment.

While it's fun to think about in a futurism sense, there will be little excitement where the real change happens. Autonomous vehicles will, by their nature, be boring.

For the most part they'll have utilitarian looks. They'll be quiet and electric, they'll be slow and conservative drivers. They'll basically be a more personal version of public transport.

Imagine GTA 2050.

You don't even get the satisfaction of throwing the driver out - you just hack in the car remotely, hop in, set the program for a trip and then enjoy your slow-ass "runaway". Never getting out of a police chase because cop cars will always be programmed to be faster than civilian vehicles, reflecting the reality to date.

Or rather, you hack in and remove the speed limit, and no other car in the world would be able to catch up with you.

Well, at least a second option would not be as boring as the first one.

For fucking hell's sake, stop your fear-mongering. Nobody will take away your wheel and accelerator/brake pedals. You seem American, you gave up your gear shifter voluntary anyway.

>nobody's trying to take your ~~guns~~ cars away!

Except they literally are. Many shitlibs see cars as horrible, baby-killing pollution machines that pump out 6 million tons of CO2 per second. They have stated in no uncertain terms that they want as many people on public transportation as possible, and they want the rest to ride in self-driving electric boxes.
