"Autonomous vehicles’ rollout face tough value judgements that compare to rushing a drug to market before its dangers are fully known, said Patrick Lin, Cal Polytechnic Univ. professor for emerging technologies. “It also looks like a lot of the autonomous vehicle research is using human subjects. Human Guinea pigs,” he said.
Lin said the use of autonomous vehicles may increase traffic to the point that roads will be even more congested. For instance, he said that Waze, by directing its users through neighborhoods instead of congested highways, has destroyed peace and quiet in residential areas and caused more traffic problems."
