more-inIt should be here soon, the self-driving car (affectionately known as the autonomous vehicle). I haven’t actually conducted a survey, but I imagine that a goodish number of us would feel rather foolish if struck by a self-driving car. The manufacturers of a self-driving car have patented a new “sticky” technology to protect us if we get hit. For those with a soaring imagination, here’s another scenario: two adhesive cars ram into each other. Somehow — foolish of me — I thought the whole charm of self-driving cars was that they would be accident-free.
