    They haven't fixed GPS's yet.
    Wrong turn: Man watches car being hit after GPS sends him onto suburban train line - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)


    Mine is often telling me to go through wheat paddocks.
    I am very interested to see how autonomous vehicles cope with the complexity of our roads but I also would like to see the relevant laws in place and understood before they are allowed on our roads.

    I agree with the Australian Government on this subject. After all who cares if a Polly gets snotted?
    Cheers, Billy.

    I see the Google driverless car crashed into a bus. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

    I was towing a barge to Brisbane in 2001. The Tug was equiped with two very expensive GPSs. We were about 20 Miles off Smoky Cape doing about 3.5 Knots. One GPS said we were 30 K North of Armidale doing 250 Knots. The other said we were doing 15 Knots which is still impossible and in the opposite direction.
    I pulled them both out in Brisbane, took them to a dealer and left them with him for over a week. They didn't find any thing wrong with them but they didn't malfunction again as far as I know.
    Cheers, Billy.

    I was using a cheap Tom Tom and top of the range Navman in Corner Country. Both were conflicting and confused, but that's normal operating mode for the Navman.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    What I would like to know, who is responsible when the car has an accident?
    It will be chock full of sensors so will go to the video ref
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Imagine outside the schools with every kid being dropped off without mum, oh wait it may get better.
    isn't landrover experimenting with technology where the vehicles communicate locally and centrally, I.e lookout new pothole at 66 Smith St etc

    school zones are on the whole driverless. the majority of those behind the wheel seem more intent on finding their precious little progeny than actually driving/thinking about the situation they are in. the steering wheel is a handgrip for swivelling about in the seat to look out or a phone and tablet holder

    So, who will be at fault, get the blame and be sued when (not if) a driverless vehicle kills someone? I can imagine the first test case like this will be very interesting.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
