Comment on Talking Schmidt: Google to soon bring its driverless cars to the UK, humans don’t have eyes in the back of their head yet by pdixon1986

Given that humans are behind the wheel, and that humans are involved in the accidents, there are very few other causes for the accidents... so yes, 94% seems like a normal number for "human error"... But i wonder... if a driverless car was going 40mph and a kid ran out into the road, would the car magically stop in time?...i would like to see a driverless car in a built up area with many kids and people -- i think most people would end up getting out the car and walk because it would be quick -- the car would be going so slow and stopping all the time.
