My husband and I were quite pro self driving cars. We even planned to sign up for their early rider program and test drive them ourselves. 

That changed tonight.

With that in mind, no way would we want self piloting plane.

I would still get one in a heartbeat.   I would just make sure nobody had access to the classifier but me and my mechanic.

Sounds like the sign of the times.  Anybody remember the Toyota computer take over malfunctions, and deaths.   And the cars had a driver.

I do not remember that, do you have a link to the story?

What could go wrong? Perfect man makes perfect computer as part of perfect aircraft. Ah, but I drone on....

Actually I like the idea of a drone, some kid in a booth in South Dakota joysticks the entire fleet of commercial aircraft all at once. What a resource saver, and the tickets to fly  will be nearly free because of those savings.

My general concern would be things like pranks. The whole knock a stop sign over and replace it with a replica of a speed limit sign is a true danger. Once folks really figure out precisely how and why the computer does what it does in any given model, there are all sorts of possibilities as far as that sort of thing goes.

That could be an issue for sure.  I would like to think that the folks smart enough to make a self driving car have planned for such things, but I guess only time will tell.

The problem with technology aint technology, its the men in high places behind it.

Just wait till drones go on  missions to search and destroy.   Ps, a drone has no conscious, it simply does as commanded.   Not GOOD.

Perhaps a scenario might help. Now I am against war period.   But lets say grandma and grandpa are recoginized by the world federation

as potential terrorist.    A soldier might say , wait this is all wrong...........not a drone...........it kills with no remorse.    It does as its told with no conscious.

And ps..............the list of what is known as a potential terrorist..............just keeps getting BIGGER.

I know this was supposed to be a thread for entertainment.   But a good reminder always reminds as well.

Someone please tell me this was a made up picture and not real.   Does not this thing look like a resemblance of an Egyptian god.
