The autonomous vehicles will be off the road in a decade if they can't stop running into homeless people and the broad side of trucks. Or, they won't be licensed for general use.
AV's that you have to have your hands on the wheel?
As far as the 737....
So Boeing is now predicting that they'll be flying again by the end of the year???
That is 6 months away. I'd hate to be one of the customers counting on them.
Perhaps in the future, we won't have critical safety features sold as "optional".
