Autonomous cars are not perfect, and they might never be. And we need that safety threshold of perfection for them to really catch on. We're ok with people crashing into each other. We are not ok with machines crashing into eachOther. I don't think you can have autonomouss and human trimming cars mixing. So lots of stuff going on with autonomous cars theare preventing them from main stream acceptance.
Eddie Alterman really likes cars. He is the Chief Brand Officer of Hearst Autos and was the editor-in-chief of Car & Driver. Alterman’s new podcast is called “Car Show! with Eddie Alterman”.
