Driverless cars are killing people each and every day, but we just don't recognize that as the cause of many accidents.

Driverless cars are killing people each and every day, but we just don't recognize that as the cause of many accidents.

If there are fatal accidents every day that involves driverless cars, wouldn't we hear about it by now? And wouldn't Google be forced to stop their experiments?

He didn't say autonomous cars...just driverless. As in, cars that aren't supposed to be driverless.

...as in passengers riding in the left-front seat. THIS is why I think there is a need for autonomous cars, because we've already got plenty of autonomous car drivers practicing out on the roads these daze.

Juke Box Heroes?
"Nissan Motor Corp. will replace the timing chains in more than 104,000 Nissan Juke subcompacts from the 2011-13 model years sold in the United States and Canada as part of a voluntary service campaign.

The action covers 104,439 Jukes produced in Nissan’s plant in Oppama, Japan, the company said today."

104,000! I assume most are sitting in sales lots.

Leaf me A Loan!

Nissan is recalling a total of 211 examples of the the Leaf pure-electric car supplied to the U.S., and another 65 Leafs sold in Canada for a problem involving missing spot welds in the motor compartment. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that the front structural member assemblies in these cars could be missing welds in several crucial places, to the left and right of the electric motor. As a result, the affected Leafs might not perform well in a crash. The Leafs in question were manufactured between Feb. 28, 2014, and March 12, 2014.

The NHTSA says that Nissan will start notifying owners of the affected cars soon, and it will direct them to have their vehicles inspected at Nissan dealerships. If a given Leaf is found to lack the six different spot welds on each side of the motornear the sway bar ends, the whole car will be replaced free of charge to the owners.

GM issues 4 more recalls covering 2.4 million U.S. vehicles


Sales of 2015 Escalades, 2009-14 crossovers suspended

General Motors is recalling 2.42 million U.S. cars, trucks and SUVs in four separate safety recalls, raising its recall total for the year to more than 13.6 million vehicles.

GM said today that it expects to take a second-quarter charge of about $400 million, mostly to cover the cost of recalls announced during the period. That includes a $200 million charge from five recalls that GM announced late last week.

Wouldn't it be Leaves?

Couldn't you just hook some jumper cables up to the battery pack, grab a stick of 6013, and fix the welds?

Ask those fans of Toronto's hockey team re: Leafs versus Leaves.

Like most new technologies, I think this is driven by more stringent safety and fuel economy requirements.
