Not much else then what already happens now. You get an adrenalline rush while the cars around you slow down. Then you steer to the side of the road while the remaining traffic steers around you and speeds up again.

What do you think would happen. The beauty of the system is actually that it is safer as well even during major breakages. Because the traffic is so much closer together you don't get high speed differences which lead to major collision damages. Think about it.



2) People are not going to want to turn over control of their very lives to a computer.

You mean computer systems like traffic lights, nuclear reactors, fligh by wire airplanes, cruise control, medicine production and what not else in our computer controlled societies. Our lives are already turned over to many many many computer controlled system; this is just illogical fear of the unknown by the common man. Or does anybody believe that a computer glitch on a road crossing with traffic lights will lead to anything but very serious harm ?
