I don't get the driverless tech.
I mean I can appreciate that the tech can legitimately help some people and can appreciate the engineering behind it but I guess I have a hard time seeing the usefulness of it.

I think a lot of my annoyance with these high tech cars is the endless amounts of sensors and whatever the associated costs that comes with it. I'm already a pretty good and safe driver and so all these sensors seem to do nothing more than provide an annoyance about whatever little thing the car thinks I need to fix.

The mustache guy in the video says "you're driving around with a supercomputer." Based on all the tech and all the various computers talking to each other throughout the car that doesn't seem to me like too much of an exaggeration. Like I said before the engineering, tech, etc. sounds really interesting but what's the ultimate benefit? Just being able to have a car drive you around so you don't have to worry about it?

I fully admit that part of the reason I can't see the utility because lately I haven't had to do a ton of driving to do but I also don't see the utility because I tend to enjoy driving. Also I think it'd be hard to hand off my safety to computers when I work with computers for decades and they fail plenty.
