Default Self-Driving Vehicles

Has anyone ever ridden in a self-driving [autonomous] vehicle? I don't know that I would trust one.

We've seen that regular vehicles can be remotely hijacked. I would assume it would be even easier on a self-driving vehicle. But my conspiracies aside, would you prefer a self-driving vehicle?

I can see how they would reduce impaired driving incidents.

Yeah you could get drunk and stoned and just ride. **** if I were like money I’d let that robot ****er drive me around for the hell of it. Get a self driving van. Blast tunes. Chill in the back. Be like where the **** am I who cares. Hit the next rest station so I can toilet up then run through Taco Bell. Take a nap. Pop some vikes. AC blasting. Buy a blow job if my dick gets stiff.

But what about when rogue AI takes over and decides to kill humans? we're making it too easy for them.

The only issue is that it would be way too easy to get wasted and get in the back or your self-driving car and tell it to take you to Cali just for the **** of it and then wake up in Tennessee (I live in VA).

Sound a bit Philip K. Dick-ish?

Hawking says it’s one of the top ten likeliest ways humanity will end. I’m good with that as long as I don’t have to drive.

The hack who's going senile? Take it with a grain of salt.

Is it possible for AI to become conscious and self-aware? If not, why not? And if so shouldn’t we recognize that as a danger? And really, even if it’s not self-aware why is it so hard to believe we could lose control of it? How much of a stretch is it from terrorism through computer viruses to hacking AI or simple malfunction or even a self-educating program like DeepMind simply taking control? Many nightmare scenarios are very possible.
