I think an autonomous farm tractor makes a whole lot more sense and is safer/more practical than self driving cars which I think is a pipe dream. Farm tractors work in an enclosed, known area with fairly simple maneuvers. However, they certainly won't be any cheaper and as long as its an option that a 2nd hand buyer can disable or remove them, I think they'll be great.
As for cars, I don't see how programmers will be able to program for every event where a human makes a split second judgement (bike or deer in the road? swerve instead of stopping?, etc). Just on the radio the other day, the automotive writer mentioned that self-braking cars were causing problems in car washes. As soon as the brushes came in front, they slammed on the brakes. :roll: He described the procedure to disable them on a Mercedes (remove start/top button, insert key in its place, press on brake,stand on 1 foot, blah,blah,blah). He said the procedure WAS in the owner's manual.....but it's over 500 pages long.
