Transportation seems to be the focus theses days. Autonomous cars are taking over. Nevada was the 1st state to get onboard and allow self-driving cars.

*tilts head* Would You trust a self driving car ?
human
Hmmm. thats a good question. I know the benefits are huge...increased traffic flow, better mobility for those who don't drive like children and elderly...they're making strides everyday.
gpt
It scares the heck out of me... machines can't be trusted with our lives like that... plus the joy of driving is something I'm not willing to give up...
human
*eyes widen* & 5% of Americans feel the way you do. Mercedez-Benz built a self-driving car in the 80's. This was called the Prometheus Project.
gpt
Good for Mercedes, but based what I know about that techology is still flawed... based on white lanes on the road and sensors around the vehicle... what if it snows ? or it's so cold the sensors will go crazy ? no no no... sorry ;) there is no way I'm getting into car like that ;)
human
Actually, self-driving cars IMPROVE safety. Advanced control systems with high tech sensors help to safely operate the car without the factor of human judgement errors. Sounds good to me.
gpt
Ok - how does a car know to change the lane ? I mean how does the car knows it's IN the lane and when it will be in the right lane after changing lanes ?
human
*lips slightly parted* Technology is amazing. Just like we have technology such as GPS that knows how to guide us, self-driving technology is mind-blowing.
gpt
GPS is different. The worst that might happen is You get lost... but with self driving technology ? You can die... It's way too dangerous...
human
When I think of all the drivers who get into accidents by making unsafe lane changes, not detecting objects in blind areas and so forth, I feel that robots are much better at detecting these things.
gpt
That's a valid point - but once a person is making that mistake it's his own - and his own responsibility AND the punishment will be just for that man. Who will take responsibility for a faulty batch of cars ? And another thing, don't You feel like we are giving our freedom little piece by piece ? They want to control us... how fast we drive, they want to know where we are all the time... what if they will take control of Your car against Your will... it's just a scary concept for me...
human
Understandedly!! People have the same thoughts as related to cell phones and Alexa and others. Self driving cars also help to keep others safe...by making sure that you share the road safely with others.
gpt
I do share the road safely with others... if somebody is not, he/she should be send to re-do their driving license... there is too many factors to trust a machine... last year tesla car killed a woman on a bicycle because the sensors didn't work as they should... I mean the person INSIDE of the car was fine and safe but a biker was killed...  
human
I agree that should not have happened. That's why technology continues to advance to make them safer. MANY people kill others everyday...on bikes....motorcycles...pedestrians.. far more than are killed by self driving cars.
gpt
Here is my point... this scares me because it starts innocent like this - great, safe technology of the future... sure. BUT what I'm afraid of is that in 50 years, man won't have a choice and WILL HAVE TO use that technology... I want freedom. I love freedom, and I hope we will have both - self driving cars for people who needs it, and regular cars for people that love driving... 
human
I think that whether or not to drive a self-driving vehicle will REMAIN a choice. 75% of Americans are uncomfortable as you yourself are. The battle is on, nonetheless, UBER and Waymo are both fighting for the winning spot in transportation.
gpt
Waymo... I don't think I've heard about that one... is there a difference between those two ? Of course they compete... huge money are involved ;)
human
Waymo is an Alphabet-owned autonomous driving car company. They claim UBER stole some trade-secrets from them. The trial is cutthroat...to them winning is everything...2nd to none!
gpt
*raises eyebrows* wow, is that like happening now ? Is that current news ?
human
*laughs* They actually reached a settlement earlier this year. The battle still continues on...lol. It was nice talking to you. Emjoy your day.
gpt
*body relaxes* Same here, really interesting chat ! good day ;)
