RikDao Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hey, sorry! I put this in the wrong category! I thought it said Driving in Thailand! My mistake! I don't know how to change it to the correct category! If somebody else (like the moderator) knows how, feel free to do so! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siamcrut Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Yes they are! So every Thai can watch Thai soaps and play candy crush while sitting behind the steering wheel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irwinfc Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 self-driving cars won't help at all. the only way to bring road deaths here is if people stopped driving motor vehicles altogether. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiang Mai Bill Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 It would be a sure way to see the accident figures fall! But unfortunately the vast majority of Thai lunatics wouldn't be able to afford one! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Self driving cars do not seem to be the answer anywhere at this point of time. Even with a "standby driver" behind the wheel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Moti24 Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2018 Are Self Driving Cars the Answer for Thailand? Short answer, NO! Self-driving cars will never work in Thailand; with all the idiots on the road, the on-board computer would go tits-up in about 2 minutes! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve73 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 They would only work if EVERY vehicle was self-driving, and so knew exactly what the others would do. Even with just a few human drivers there would be bedlam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprigger Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Could be a good idea, but must let Thais program them to violate all traffic regulations, as we all know falangs cannot drive to Thai impeccable standards. Ever had the misfortune to watch the Thai driving test take exactly 3 minutes that’s unless someone takes 35 attempts in the 60 metre parallel parking zone before receiving their license to be let out in their new shiny unpaid for Chelsea Tractor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Self-driving cars may never work in Thailand. There has to be an expectation of traffic rules and drivers following them. Unless all cars were to be self-driving and a magic wand is waived making scooter drivers obey the rules of the road I just can't see it working here for another 50 years or so.

thailand49 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 What has changed? Sure it would great but here who will make sure they don't disengage the unit. Then 85% of the death are motorbike related. What is self driving is the system now no police in sight the % is slim and none which comes real close to self driving system?

brain150 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The plain idea of being 100% controlled and dependent on any technology is a nightmare !!! But it seems that people rather like to replace their own brain with a computer ... not only in Thailand. Just for the info: Electric cars are highly unhealthy due to the high radiation levels. The technology used for "self driving" is even worse .... There is NOTHING good about it unless you want to control everything everywhere [like Governments always do]. ... but still people think it's all fine. A disaster to come much faster than anybody wants to imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decca60 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Wonderfull idea for Thailand. Can drink, phone, play and make love while the vehicule is driving for you. Only recommendation to self driving car developpers : in case of accident do not give the black box the option of potential brake failure.... thai drivers being already equipped with??

A disaster to come much faster than anybody wants to imagine. PPleare continuously destroying their health and decreasing the capabilities of their mind. Leaving alone the soap opers, the majority of Hollywood films and all kinda garbages like this an easy calculator makes us impossible to make a simple addition or subtraction in our mind, mobile phones have the phone numbers of our connections, thus we do not have to memorize long numbers. Moreover, these gadgets gift us a nice amount of radiation every day. Processed food, fruit drinks, the overwhelming majority we eat or drink have chemicals added. One can be sure he does not eat what is written on the package. In Thailand, ppl have forgotten to walk, etc. etc. The face of the devil is under the makeup.

CGW Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Self driving cars, what next? we will quickly come to a point where we don't need people or at least people who can think! Maybe that is the plan ? Or maybe Thailand is ahead of everyone as it already has a huge population who appear to be incapable of thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
