And most train accidents are due to human error.

I am afraid so.
Rinspeed has always had a weird take on design and color choice.

True.. But point is it can only go where the track goes. I for one don't want a computer deciding where my car goes without my involvement, and even more so, don't want everyone else around me in other cars thinking they don't need to even watch the road anymore. And I work in IT, leverage new technologies as much as possible. But cars move too fast to rely on sensors and computers.

The idea of being able to relax on the regular boring commute sounds wonderful... If it can make me a nice mocha as well sign me up.
As long as I can drive it on the back roads |

Self driving cars are coming sooner than anyone realizes! Until recently there was no mobile processor fast enough to handle all the information. Enter Nvidia. They have a new mobile GuI processor with super computer speed than makes this possible. I know GM and Nissan have already been logging close to 500,000 driverless miles already. Think about how you solve a math problem in your head. How long does it take? Then you use a basic calculator to get an instant answer. Computers can react thousands of times faster than humans can. I bet 2018 is the year. I hate it personally i love driving but most people don't like to drive.

I, as part of a seemingly small portion, love it. What's wrong with trying to advance technology outside the bounds we've formed ourselves? Great showcase for future tech, and a surprisingly mouth-watering idea for an i3. Would buy

They certainly can't screw it up any worse than we have.

I think it is awesome to have the option for something like this. Very futuristic and impressive. Well done.

Ripspeed is a great company of future thinkers/visionaries. Check out the self-driving Tesla video they made in a very similar fashion a few years before Tesla announced Autopilot cars.
