AutoJoshNG your car reviews are impressive and quite interesting I must say. I was looking forward to see WELL MARKED ROADS as the number one criteria for self driving cars but surprisingly, it wasn't even on your list.  W‎hile I respect your views and expertise on conventional vehicles,  I certainly would question your expertise on self-driving technology. Please note the term "SELF-DRIVING". 

As a car enthusiast I implore you to do an in-depth research on the technology you wish to blog about before coming out with an article. Doing otherwise will make Artificial Intelligence (AI) enthusiasts like myself question your competence.

I wish you all the best in your career.




You guys should think of a well Mapped Lagos with 101% GPS accuracy for the self driving car to navigate the routes

It's very possible sir. Lagos is a small state and it's major roads can be mapped within a short time period but you know 3 dimensional grid mapping will require enormous financial resources which Nigerian programmers don't have and Nigerian investors including the Government shy away from investing in Tech start ups. They only pay lip service to it while waiting for Mark Zuckerberg and other foreign investors to invest in it.

Let's just say Nigeria isn't ready for Technology yet. I myself have my dreams focused in faraway Silicon Valley. It's unfortunate we're that helpless.

What about proper mapping of the streets and infrastructure to connect the cars electronically?
