I loved the first half of this videoand i understand/appreciate the idea of self driving cars (aside that my fun would be gone), but things still break! What happens when a car is at speed and the battery just dies-??? It won't be able to communicate. it would still cause traffic and quite possibly an accident

This is why when driving, you should be looking 5 to 10 cars ahead and not staring at the car in front of you or F**KING TEXTING!!! I also do my best to not use the brakes on the highway. I'll downshift or coast because it keeps people behind me from jumping on their brakes. I also take of with some urgency when I'm first at a light. I won't do the self driving car thing unless EVERYONE has one. I like the enhanced cruise control systems for the highway though. I'd love a Tesla P100D with Autopilot.
