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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

Hope you guys had fun reading this , is there anything you would like to add ,kindly comment.
Also don't forget to share !!!.

Na dat 7 sure pass..especially u were get many Exes..so many people would meet der car inside lagoon.m

The only thing i agree with there is number 2, Even a manned car is still finding it difficult to maneuver beside them. Very heartless people

Meanwhile Check my siggy

It won't work on this buhari era

self-driving cars would be disastrous in nigeria. nigeria doesn't have the environment nor patience for these type of cars.

hahahahaha


number 7 thou, op u don crase gon


people like mankide of naijaloaded can easily have seun osewa car

Nobody to yell and transfer aggression to.

it will work wella.....self-driven cars are conditioned to avoid accidents and obey traffic rules.they are more patient than nigerians drivers,who are suffering from ADHD.the more the number of driverless cars,the lesser d number of accidents

That is still going to be along long time coming.

9ja isnt ripe for this @all

Its Buhari's fault.

Nice points @Op...
its just cant work!

Because Nigerians are too spiritual

One fair olosho for you opp

LOL NA ONLY INSIDE ESTATE YOU GO FIT DRIVE AM NA, AT LEAST ONE ADVANTAGE

@ Op you should write something meaningful next time because this type of car wont work in our clime here....gbam !

Who do you want me to shout "Oloriburuku" when I'm hungry and someone is driving nonsense huh?


Kolewerk men

true but untrue

OP should research more on self driving cars before writing articles about them.

Danfo drivers fit jam that kin car intentionally

It will work.

You need to read and research more before writing.

The most important reason is lawless enforcement agencies

Kolewerk in nigeria.

H

I blame d dullard for dis



Buhari u will never go unpunished

Some people never trust their driver finish. Na computer driver dem go trust abi

Good hackers indeed

We all know it won't work. We don't even need reasons. We just know

But come o If driverless cars commit traffic offences, who do you arrest?
