Snarky question

Judging by the way my lane keeping assist and ACC work. No how, no way.

It's bad enough letting my wife drive the ranger scares the heck out of me

I just passed the 2-year mark with my Ranger. My wife has still never driven it.

The 1st wave of Rangers will come from a distant plant ...

Yes, the world is full of moral dilemmas.

In 1997, I spent three months in Cambodia in support of the United Nations effort to rid the country of millions of land mines. We had a series of briefings prior to the trip, one of which included the moral rationalization for the widespread use of anti-personnel mines. Buddhists, they said, believe strongly in the idea of karma and reincarnation, where good intent and good deeds contribute to good karma and happier rebirths, while bad intent and bad deeds contribute to bad karma and bad rebirths. Grabbing a rifle and shooting someone imparts bad karma to the shooter. Burying a land mine, which kills someone when they disturb it imparts no bad karma to the person who emplaces it. Instead, the bad karma of the victim is the cause for their injury or death.

In this perspective, the person who programs the decision-making algorithm for the autonomous car is guilty of nothing. The bad karma of the victims is the cause, and they can try harder to be virtuous in their next life.

The current pre-collision tech is a reactionary not predictive device . It can not look ahead and anticipate the upcoming event , only use it's sensors to react to what is already happening .

correct you are, humans could do that if we were not posting selfies on instagram or making a tiktok vid.

thats a point i did not think of, good call! the lane keep assist is far from perfect. a couple of times it has nearly caused me to crash and i found myself fighting the "system" to steer back on the road. it really does not like it when the road surface changes and the lines painted are choppy or faded. in theory a good system. i keep it turned off most of the time.

I don't see how they can have it working when it picks up only one line. I would think it would require both lines to be seen by the system but noooo , it will detect the center line and steer you to the right then there's no line so it just sends you off the road , especially going into a curve !
