Driverless Car Mystifies Some in Europe

Driverless cars and other forms of automation can be very shocking to some. Most anything that happens outside the norm can cause people some discomfort or even hostility.

See the video, below, to see a situation that occurred on some European roads.

Some additional automation is currently being experimented by some of the automakers. Collision avoidance is a feature that has great possibilities for saving property damage and fatalities.

Call me if I can help steer you to some real estate solutions in the greater San Antonio area.

So, Wayne, I DO love a good prank, and the reactions were OF COURSE, naturally "What the .....???" They did an incredible job. Thanks for the fun!

I think the Google car operates like this, too. It would drive me crazy, for sure!

Fun video, Wayne. Many people do view new as scary. I imagine it can cause confusion.

Wayne, this would certainly get people's attention, I bet it's not that far in the future anymore before something like this could be reality. Of course, with no one in the car, what would be the point?
