Today, it has been announced that driverless cars are to be trialed in my area.

This concerns me greatly.
We all know that not all drivers are careful around horses, but how the hell is a computer program going to know that I'm signalling for a car to stop or slow down because I can hear a pheasant in the hedge or a lorry about to come around a blind bend?
Does anyone know what the BHS stance on these vehicles is? How much regard has been given to horses and other vulnerable road users in their design? The council is involved in this scheme, the same council who kindly put horse warning signs on the roads by my yard. Have they never watched The Terminator? Stephen Hawkins might be right, Artificial Intelligence will be the downfall of man!
