"Almost everyone is predisposed to engaging in irrational behavior while driving -- Dr. James even goes so far as to say that most people are emotionally impaired when they drive. The key, psychologists say, is being aware of your emotional state and making the right choices, even when you are tempted to act out emotionally."

I myself have raged a bit. There have been times where I wanted to get off my bike and punch their window. They deserved it I promise.

They endangered my life and I feel that they need to feel what they did to me. But then I remember that I chose to ride. I accepted the risk. Be the adult, ride it off.

that's what always triggers it isn't it. you feel someone else unnecessarily put your life in danger not only without realizing it, but without caring about it. and something snaps. you dont even realize what's happening until 15 minutes later. worst i've done is yell at people. but i've seen people get in fights over the smallest mistakes. people forget that we're animals. hard to overcome that sometimes.

Does this article offer up an explanation about why I get just a tiny little itty-bitty-bit frustrated when I'm driving a 23,680lb rig through a tiny town where people jaywalk like it's the "hip" thing to do and foreign tourists with no concept of american traffic flow or lane-change-procedures decide that it must be safe to use the merge lane as a passing lane before cutting off a large truck/trailer so they can completely stop traffic in both directions while they attempt to parallel park a large american rental car in a parking spot that is obviously waaaay too small for the dimensions of their vehicle and require 4+ forward/reverse attempts before finally giving up, only to finally turn on a turn-signal and attempt a 49-point turn in the middle of a busy two way street with 400+ cars backed up in each direction due to their ....uh.... [I don't want to say "stupidity" because that's a mean word.]

Don't hit their doors - break off their mirrors if you must. Me, I just catch them on a next intersection and stare them down without saying anything.

I just speed off.
If i let the countless times i have people make right hand turns without looking once in my direction, or the number of times someone tried to make a left in front of me knowing if they didn't stop, my life would surely change for the worst. Sucks at times when people give you that WTF look like you were the one doing something wrong when in fact they had no clue in what THEY did. People today are more prone to blame others instead of looking in the mirror and fixing that asshole first.
I do not let any of this get to me, as i do not let the fear get to me, cause if i did i would not be able to ride again.
Having a touch of being scared is a good thing, but fear is something you never want to feel on something capable of injury so quickly.

I usually just give them the finger and shake my head.

Oh I've had those moments, give them the american sign language, yelled at them, but I would never put myself in harms way to teach someone a lesson. I have had more than a few times people get down right nasty with me for no apparent reason known to me. I show them my middle finger or just shake my head.

I just don't care as long as they don't hit me.

Autonomous driving cars will not get road rage from stupid drivers mistakes.

allanoue nope but I hope to never be around when we depend that much on electronics to do our tasks. They maybe in the works but when they become road legal, certified, I think women might get a break on their driving by then lol jk.

In 20 years your car will be more intelligent then you.

They are already faster them pro race car drivers on a track.

I have no issue with electronics being used in a way that can increase platforms or better functionality. I love to work on electronics. But where it becomes the point of creating a lazier humanity then I see it as more of a hindrance. Is it something that is truly needed to function? Can probably argue it may cause the rate of crashes to lower but that reality is far off in the distance. I'm all for advancements, just has to be truly beneficial.

70,000 fatal crashes a year, just in the US and the EU, gone.

I will call that a huge benefit.

Unless you're a truck driver.

feeding off emotion...kinda like how the media works.

I lived in the US for three years. I was always amazed to see road rage, especially in an area where everyone was packing.

Coming from multi-million dollar aircraft operated and controlled solely by the usage of electronics and avionics, the amount of failures of sensor suits and parts of the avionics were ridiculously high for a machine that spent more time being actively maintained than operated. We then want to take a stripped down, cheaper made version which may never see a maintainer on it ever on the road and hand over all cognizant operation over to it makes me believe we may just be in for a huge rude awakening in a very near future.

Besides, the Google car is fully legal and certified in CA to operate on the road. Just waiting on google to cater to the lazy and this nightmare will become reality sooner than probably later.

I'm glad I don't live in cali.

Angry Luddites are funny.
FreelancerMG technology can never improve? My eyesite system has limitations but in the 2 years I have had it, has aways worked.

The problem is that the tech isn't perfect. We have a very hard time as a technological whole, being able to design electrical control systems integrated by software without some bugs coming out. On aircraft, we're trained to keep alert and to never fully rely on the flight control computer and software package because there is nearly always some error or miscompare that'll put the whole crew in the ground if you'll let it.

This tech for cars though is being advertised as allowing the driver to tune out the whole driving experience and do something else. That's where this tech may bite someone in the ass.
