Then you’d have people getting ran over,hackers,killer BSODs,failed sensors, and missing magnets in the road as new problems.

  @ Anon 22.50 Americans generally do not have higher number of accidents per mile then people in other countries such as Germany or Japan. The problem is Americans usually drive more miles per year then most other people which makes them statistically more likely to be involved in an accident. It’s simple mathematics the more often you do something like lets say play a slot machine the greater your chances a rare event like a jackpot will happen.

  They are generally safer then in a car due to a driver who is usually better trained at road safety then the general public and the mass of the vehicle. This is likely mostly due to drivers being over worked and a badly designed bridge wall both of which hopefully will be rectified.

  If the driver is going to be on duty for 14 hours strait maybe you should be. I remember when they had this problem with airlines and they had to pass rules on allowing the pilots to get enough sleep and have breaks. Some where even sleeping in the cockpit and letting the auto pilot fly the plane which is ok until something goes wrong or it goes in for a preprogrammed landing while the runways were busy or closed.

  Aircraft can fly themselves but a pilot is still there in case something goes wrong. But ironically flying is actually easier for a robot then driving as it does not have to consider a cluttered environment. The big issue with road vehicles is two fold cost and maintenance. The cost of true triple redundancy even it it costs a few million dollars to implement is not an issue for an airliner that may cost over $200+ million. For a car even 5K extra can mean the difference between making a profit …

  I’m not sure about Japan but in the US if the hours of service rules have been violated the blame falls to the company for over working the drivers.

  Naa that obviously was a Yakuza hit but they just said it was a suicide because the police are too lazy to do real detective work and to keep up the illusion the Japan has no violent crime. Don’t cross the Yakuza or they’ll cut your manhood off and pay off the cops to say it was a suicide.

  Yes but then the entire US congress would always be in Japan, wait our congress is useless so this would actually be a good thing.

• Police Hunt Man for Following JC 10m:
  

  Yes and they’ll all tie into switching substations that people like Kudi and Pantsu can freely visit.

  Then maybe someone should introduce blood and crypts strait from Los Angeles so they know what really is a dangerous situation vs one that has zero danger. This also will create job security for the police who presently are completely useless.

  Wha that happens often in your country? In my country it’s just the usual gangsters,robbers,muggers,and the occasional nut job you need to watch out for. Terrorist activity is actually quite rare. You actually 8 times more likely to get killed on accident by the police.
