Regaining consciousness looking up from the floor. A bit confusing and frightening to say the least.
Not from pounding beers or shots of tequila.
Not from being knocked out in a fight.
Not from anything you created or control.
Epilepsy. What a pisser.
3 years ago I was diagnosed and it was determined that years of motocross anarchy was catching up with my body.
Some here know that I have a badass 67 Mercury. Unfortunately I don’t drive it anymore. Start it up,back it out of the garage, warm it up, and give it some sun once a week has become the routine.
After finding the right medication and being seizure free, the Drs. cleared me to drive again. Great! I did just that for about 2 months but had reservations. Uncomfortable and uneasy is a good description. Passenger safety was barely a thought in 1967. No doubt whatsoever I would be maimed or killed in an accident.
Id accepted that possibility.
The issue was what damages and possible deaths to other drivers could i be responsible for. This was the issue. So removing the possibility, I stopped driving.
Finally to the point of this long post, could autonomous vehicles give me independence again?
I don’t convulse and thrash about, I simply
lose conciseness for a moment and drop to the floor. Would autonomous vehicles take over if I did have an momentary issue? Or would I have to have full autonomy set all the time.
Thoughts would be appreciated and valued.
Autonomous vehicles is why I have followed Tesla for years. They know what they are doing and could possibly change my life.
