Being behind the adaptive cruise control people set to three car lengths is super annoying in LA, where everyone drives 80 bumper to bumper. Cars keep getting into the gap, which makes the adaptive car slow down, repeat ad nauseum.
Teslas used to always do this. I haven't seen it as much lately. I think the drivers got tired of it too. |

For me, I find it's far less stressful to just calm down and let the car deal with all of the stuff like that. I'll sacrifice a minute or two of commute time for that. |

But if I was napping in a driverless car, I guess I would be okay with it. Or better yet, if all the cars were driverless.

For those interested in these self driving cars, you might enjoy the series on Prime called "Upload."

Driverless cars drive slower than 96 year old asian women. No thanks.

I hope that guy donates blood.

It's been 9 years. Have driverless cars changed anything yet?

Technology is allowing cops to shut your car off while you driving it.

I did Waymo for the first time in my life two weeks ago with a client. It was weird as hell having no one drive the car but I felt 100% safe.
They even called into the car when I took my seat belt off in the back seat as it was strangling me and I couldn't adjust it. Jaguars suck! The only downside is they stay at speed limit and EVERYOME passed us by!

Waymo was cheaper than Lyft and Uber by about 25%

Woof. I didn't realize it was this bad. I haven't taken the time to see the legitimacy of what he's saying, but it's bad.
