This, of course, is not vexatious: You need to add their "thinking distance" to your own as clearly they have no time to react, which invariably means you have to go slower. That's the reasoning excuse I use!

Not at all, I'm sure you're NEVER vexatious!

Its just the same in Israel. I'd say that most Israeli drivers drive like lunatics, but I don't waant to insult the lunatics.
I would love an automated vehicle (a tank, by preference  )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You should try Quebec City. In some places the exit lanes on the highways start immediately after the entrance lanes and they have no concept of adjusting speed to join/leave AND they drive so close that you sometimes need a feeler gauge, not a tape rule, to measure the gap. Added to that, in winter 10' piles of snow piled right up to the corners of side-turnings, so they just close their eyes and pull out.
You need take speed to drive there and valium when you reach your destination.

Its not for me as I wouldn't want to leave my life in the control of a computer on wheels when there are also other idiots on the road that aren't on a leash

I think that's just initial suspicion. It was the same when .NET came out, I was convinced that the garbage collector was the work of the devil, but it turns out if can do the job much more reliably than I can.
This is why the trials will be so interesting. If people have confidence in the safety its just one less thing to do. You could sleep, read, watch TV, have breakfast, entertain the missus all on the way to work. Awesome. I'd like one with a bath in it.

Don't get me wrong I shall be watching the whole driver-less cars technology with great interest.
But after driving around Oxfordshire they take careless driving up a notch or 2 and that is the part that worries me, how could you evade an idiot who decided to run a roundabout because he was texting or running late? I have seen some people in Jags on the Morton in Marsh roundabouts tussle with a truck because they don't want to wait for it to turn right.

DLR anyone?
Autopilot on your 747?
FFS, real time decision processing is a pretty well understood concept within the spheres of computer science. Just do it, get going and put it in an all-electric car too!

In knowing that man makes so much errors computer driven cars are a good idea.
"Test driven development" will get a new meaning.
Last but not least: I wont buy a car from or with Microsoft

One little detail that people tend to want to ignore is that personal transport has reached ridiculous levels of wastage, both in resource usage and loss of life.
So yes, computerise it all, and take the prestige and sense of personal power out of driving. The world will be better for it.

Yep, that hurts, isn't it? 
It happens to me all the time. In fact, there aren't many CCCs which I can solve and the ones I actually can, get answered in no time.
