SELF DRIVING CAR IS A NO IN NIGERIA

Hello my lovely friends on this platform, I hope you’re all doing great, its been a while since I posted and I have missed you guys.

A self driving car is a car that is equipped with technology that senses conditions around it including, traffic, pedestrians, and physical hazards and also has the ability to control its speed with human control, now for me from the definition its actually a good one but I really do not know if a self driving car is actually worth the hype and price because I have never seen one or even been in one before, and as far as my country is concerned I don’t think its a good idea to drive one here unless you just want to be riding it within a safe and secured estate with good road.

My area is actually one of the worst places to buy ride a self driving car, the road has to many pot-holes, and has so many pedestrians walking on the road, so I believe its going to be definitely a bad idea to bring such a car.

Although it has the ability to control its self but its only a machine, and this machine was made humans, and it can also get faulty and loose its control, what if this car gets faulty on the highway and pedestrians are about crossing the road, what then happens? Even the one that humans have full control over gets faulty all of a sudden and crashes. Honestly if I had the opportunity to buy an autonomous car at this point of my life, I tell you my readers I wouldn’t try it, because it would definitely bring unwanted attractions to me and my family, I haven’t seen anyone with those type of cars in my area, and I wouldn’t want to be the first because this might attract kidnappers, robbers and unnecessary attention from people I know and even the ones I do not know.

And should incase an accident should happen its either the owner of car that is to be blamed or the company that promoted the car would be blamed, because I believe with a such that has that kind of high technology then there’s also going to be a warranty and an agreement, so if the accident happened because a part of the car is faulty and it wasn’t crossed checked from the company which is not the fault of the person that bought it then the company is to be blamed, but the accident happened due to a fault caused by the owner of the car, then the buyer is to be blamed…its just like buying a phone that has a warranty of one year, and the phone just suddenly goes off with it falling, then it can be taken back to the phone shop, but when the phone falls or maybe it was thrown to the ground and it goes off then the owner would be held accountable.

Lastly my thought on this car is quite negative here in my country because, It lacks security and good roads, with pedestrians that do not follow traffic rules, so anything can happen even if the car has the ability to control itself.
