I saw an A&M branded self-driving golf cart a few weeks ago, but there was a guy driving it. It would have been cool too see it self-driving, I'll be on the lookout for these things around campus.
Nothing could possibly go wrong here. How many students will walk out in front of one of these things that have no driver and expect it to just stop because they think they have the right of way.

So the perfect place for testing!
What did A&M officials say when questioned about that same concern?
"Trust"
Just what the youth of this country needs, another way to avoid physical activity!

They just need to build a monorail. That would solve all of the problems. It could go all over both towns and campus.
Eh. Even traditional cars have driver assisted braking these days. If anything, computer reaction times will be faster than a human's. Plus I don't think they will be rushing across campus at breakneck speeds.woodometer said:

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, we better build it before Shelbyville does. Do you have a cool and catchy song to help sell the project idea? I really want to be a conductor on one. (Yeah, I'm old.)woodometer said:
