But, would you trust a self-driving cab? Would you miss the chat with the driver?

We’re asking: Would you trust a self-driving taxi?

    That’s the problem all the media and garda are saying slow down don’t drink drive.

    Just cause you don’t speed and drink drive. Dose not mean you dont have to pay attention, just cause you walking / cycling dosen mean you have a right.

    Just comeing home there on a national road doing the 100km speed limited a guy didn’t stop at stop sign. Had to avoid them nearly ended in the ditch could of died, this guy just drove on with out a care in the world.

    Yet if I did die the head lines be young man loses control while speeding.

    Main prob on our roads is everyone is complacent every body thinks its some else fault.

    We need to show adverts showing the dangerous of not looking.

    LOOK TWICE AND SAVE A LIFE!!

    When is the Journal ever going to stop comments on stories like this??? Close the comment section for god sake…. Trolling A-Holes just lapping it up and it looks so disrespectful to anyone who knows this person or their family to see the childish behavior that goes on here 99% of the time that a death is publicized…. Out of respect and a bit of common sense/courtesy

    I am highly insulted and shocked at those comments from horrible sad individuals here on the journal.ie I am a cousin of this lady and find the comments offensive. I hope you never experience what the family are going through at the moment because it is a dark horrible time for them all. The lack of respect and empathy makes me question the society we live in today. Let the family grieve in peace. Rest in peace Eunice X I hope the journal remove such comments and prevent immediate family and friends from seeing them.
