Lol.
Many bad roads in Nigeria will confuse the car's mentality. It might even self-drive itself and the owner into a canal. God forbid! I'll rather jog or walk than ride in this thing on a Nigerian road.
It's not true. The car uses artificial intelligence, therefore, if you and I can learn how to drive and master the roads, the car too can do it, if not better. Although, it needs sometime to master the Nigerian roads which is typical for any road user.

Artificial intelligence in Nigeria? I don't think you have seen the states of some roads in Nigeria yet. Some roads will make you prefer a canoe to a car when it rains. That car will be confused in that situation, I swear.

Yes you are right, they will only replace 90% of what humans do.... so lets not worry.

Cross-walks mean Zebra crossing.

Nigerians sure aren't ready for this innovation though. Danfo, trailer, private and official vehicles fit jam you on top zebra crossing(your right of way) cheesy

Cross walks are NOT Zebra crossing oga. It is what we here in Nigeria call pedestrian lane. That was probably the reason she was killed

Hello Gaz, just want to ask if you repair Mitsubishi? I have to do a general maintenance check, and change the shock absorber possibly. The steering needs to be checked as well, because it is over sensitive.

Zebra crossings are not absolute rights for pedestrians. You don't just jump in front of traffic.

Over technology..

Man is still relevant in the pursuit of advanced technology.

Last week a man "killed" a sex doll,now a robot killed a man.

I don't believe God will destroy the earth again,its man that will do the destruction this time

It has started already

If it's in Nigeria this incident happened now, some unpatriotic folks won't hesitate to blame the people in power. But since it is the oyinbo man's land then it is a normal thing.
