Just impound the car by putting stone in front of the tires thereby preventing it from moving then bring a rickety towing van to tow it to their yard and the owner will surface immediately.

The whole world is going gaga about driverless or self-driving cars and how cool they are .Nigerians especially have affinity for luxury and using the latest technology especially when it comes to cars .
Today we would be giving you seven reasons why driverless cars won't just work here in Naija .

1.Law Enforcement Agencies

We all know how unlawful our law enforcement agencies can be at times .They stop cars for no just cause.Its really going to cause a lot of trouble when your car gets flagged down and it doesn't stop,driverless cars has no respect for NPF and LASTMA .

You would be surprised they would arrest the car for disobidience and ask you to pay N50K before you can get your car back

2.Danfo Drivers

If driverless cars eventually become popular in Nigeria there is no doubt that cities like Lagos ,Port Harcourt,and Abuja would be dominated by them.Then comes the problem of Danfo Drivers and other drivers that have no chill.Your poor driverless car which would get "confused" as a result of countless unexpected overtaking is going to get seriously bashed ,plus insults .

kikiki Lol believe you me, those cars would turn to agbero in one week

3.Bad Roads

Driverless cars are programmed and where they come from there are little or no pot holes , so except your car is customized with an additional NPHDS(Naija Pot Hole Defense System),O.Y.O is your case .

R I P to the cars

4.Traffic Lights

Driverless cars depend on traffic lights to know when to stop at junctions etc.This is going to be a big problem in Nigeria where, in some places we have humans as traffic light .

kikiki Lol LWKM ooo

5.Mechanics

Hold on.... I know there are ,learned,accredited ,experienced and reputable car mechanics in Nigeria, but how many of them are available and affordable .Waheedi is going to be messing some peoples car up, case closed .

Kazeem would just reap the car apart, once again RIP

6.Cost

I know there are rich folks in Nigeria that can afford it initially ,but as a result of all the aforementioned, you are going to be spending a whole lot as a result of constant bashing, on repairs and maintenance .

Car jacking would take over

7.Hackers

I could have easily let this slide , but naaah .Whether you agree to it or not, Naija still has a long way to go when it comes to Cyber Security,and whether you also agree to it or not we have some good hackers here.So if you plan on buying a self driving car don't offend any programmer else you would meet your car swimming under Third Mainland Bridge .

You'll need to watch the movie I.T to understand this one, Lagoon straight, just don't offend the Lagos Obas
Hope you guys had fun reading this , is there anything you would like to add ,kindly comment.
Also don't forget to share !!!.

Scary to even imagine on Nigerian roads. When the car crashes and one dies, no one will even mourn. You will hear things like: ''Ayo lo paa'', ''O yo tan, o wa nwa bekun bekun kiri ni''. Some will even say the person was under a spell cos no black man will risk his life like that naturally. grin

Good point. That was the angle i was only looking at it. Does it have a way of dulging or avoiding an incoming car, should incase someone wanted to hit you intentionally? If the answer is no, hmmm, then it can work here. Nigerians are too wicked.

I know what am talking about.

Well ...let me put it this way,driverless cars have sensors so they stop when approaching an obstacle,but its going to have a problem when it has various obstacles (like 5 danfo buses) trying to overtake and manoeuvre at the same time, so its going to get "confused" and depending on the way the algorithm is programed it might decide to keep driving or just stop completely to avoid being hit and the stopping would be too instant leading to a bashing most likely from the back.
