    Somewhere I read that Australian maps are being recalibrated to match gps locations more accurately due to continental drift since the 70s. They plan to do it more frequently in the future.

    And of course there will be times with the supporting technology will fail for a period, be it gps, internet or the latest software update or a bizarre situation like a locust swarm, smoke, hail, dust etc or a meandering Defender driver in 2030
    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.
    apologies to Socrates

    Clancy's gone to Queensland Rovering, and we don't know where he are

    If parking sensors are anything to go by, auto driven cars will just bring us further down to the lowest braindead common denominator. I'm city centre (ish), parking is tight, so often see a car parked with 6ft each end, taking up 1.5 spaces, presumably as the sensors went beep.

    Probably just a senseless driver.

    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    well, Australia is drifting north at about the same speed as hair grows.....

    so work out how long your hair would be if you hadn't cut it since 1970 and thats about how far north Australia has moved in that time

    Yes. Although someone is bound to take it seriously and complain bitterly that us car drivers are being provoked into becoming bullies.

    A thought occurred.


    Why put all this development into just driverless cars.


    Why not prove the technology first on driverless trains. That will solve other problems.
    Then driverless busses and tams.
    Then pilotless domestic aircraft.


    Buy then it should be proved with driverless taxis.


    If all that is successful, then test driverless cars.
