I think my fears on automated driving are due to my driving experiences in Sri Lanka and India :-p

I am not sure how these cars can react to a cat crossing the road, snow, hale, etc., etc. Then the problem is how hackable they are.

So long as they run on dedicated lines (like trains), i am fine with automated cars.

Well, when I spend time in a small house in my village in taiga beside the Volga, i do not understand why do the people need to drive somewhere else...

I think it's very good. Nissan - well done!

Though problem is complicated. The discussion is a part of the discussion about artificial intelligence. Self-driving car is the future, maybe not the nearest one. The fears of those who are against the self-driving cars reminds some fears of people who change their horses to cars. Electronic driver must take into account many factors and problems, but many - it's not an infinite, all of them can be counted and solved. Robot reacts faster than a human. Yes, there are accidents with self-driving cars, but the fault is always of the humans. Two robots will operate on the road safer than two persons or a person and a robot. Those who are afraid of the autopilot in the car, fly, however, on the aircraft with the autopilot. Today the autopilot on the plane able to carry out the entire flight without human intervention. Boeing 777 is controlled by the human pilot only 7% of the flight time, and it is so not because of the inability of the computer, but because of the rules, which requires the pilot to drive the aircraft manually at certain moments of flight . Undoubtedly, the threat of malicious hacking remains. But it's a part of another problem - the public security. I am sure we will live to see the time when human car drivers remain only in Formula-1 and entertainment attractions. There will be no drivers in the cars on the road, and the traffic policemen will be robots as well.
