As long as it is there just to improve safety. But it should not be relied on.

In other words, if you 'hear' "don't go", you don't go. But if you don't hear anything, it still doesn't mean it's safe to go, so you'll have to rely on something else. And if you are doing that anyway, is the added complexity worth it?

It certainly will be, once the ocean is boiled = as soon as self-driving cars begin to comprise a significant percentage of cars on the road.

This, in the long run, is a selling point that seems to be missing from most discussions in this comment section.

I can't communicate "telepathically" with fellow human drivers.
