Idk if it is bad. The way the article headline is worded it sounds like the cars are crashing into puppies and grandmas. In reality they just caused traffic to get backed up for about 20 minutes because a sensor broke or something. This seems like a misleading headline by kron4.
I think techies make a lot of excuses for tech that just isn't even remotely there yet. Driverless cars is very much that category of tech.
If 10% of the Toyota Camrys on the road in a given city suddenly froze in place and caused traffic jams simultaneously in a major US city, requiring roadside assistance, we'd all be laughing at those incompetent dinosaurs.
Not remotely there? It already drives better than very old and very young drivers, as well as people who are drunk or tired. At least this tech should get our worst drivers off the road.
