By the relevant organizations. For example if a car is insured with a parent as the main driver and observed to often be parked near a college or university then this could be further investigated.By whom?

The insurance companies and the police to name just two. However the police are busy.The relevant organisations being?
It could be observed by various people. If the police don't have time for this then a separate agency could be contracted to investigate.Observed by...?
And who will pay for all these new people to sit and watch cars they think might just possibly have fraudulent insurance?The insurance companies and the police to name just two. However the police are busy.

The fines paid by people that are caught will help with that.And who will pay for all these new people to sit and watch cars they think might just possibly have fraudulent insurance?
Do you not think that if there was enough of a reason to do this, that they would already be doing it?The fines paid by people that are caught will help with that.
I remember reading not that long ago that many people didn't even know that fronting was illegal so that would suggest the issue until recently has not been that high profile. I believe the companies actually are starting to clamp down on it now though. It's not just the risk of a fine though that people should consider, is it really worth risking a criminal record? This can have quite serious consequences in some jobs.Do you not think that if there was enough of a reason to do this, that they would already be doing it?
I have thought about the way driverless cars would quite a few times since I was first introduced to the possibilities back in 2009. The ideas I have talked about are not unique to myself.Zoe, you're making this up as you go along.
As I said above, I have said nothing at all on this subject.You don't even drive, or have a licence
There are quite a few difficulties with the plan under the technology currently available but that doesn't make it impossible in the future.or appear to be aware of any of the significant flaws to your cobbled-together plan.
That's what you think, not what may or may not actually be the case. Just as something is near impossible currently, doesn't mean it always will be.You clearly don't drive as you lack any of the common sense and knowledge that a driver would have. None of your answers make a great deal of sense. There are plenty of posters, many of whom drive, who have pointed out obvious and fatal flaws to your plan to have on-demand driverless cars.
It may well seem that way when people are used to having the convenience of a car sitting outside for immediate use but that doesn't mean the situation will never change.One day we might have driverless cars, but some sort of pool where a driverless car will be shipped to you on demand is ridiculous.
People are underestimating just how powerful computers could be in the future. It may well be that they will be much better at doing things than humans are now.And In all reality, I imagine any 'driverless' cars will be in the form of cars with substantial driver aids, maybe doing motorway driving and parking, but without the capacity to do city driving, reading roundabouts and junctions or country lanes.
I'm not talking about power as in the definition in physics. I was saying that people don't seem to thinking about the possibility that as the technology improves, computers will be much better at doing things than humans are.No one is under estimating how powerful computers will or might be in the future. However power and other technological advancements don't necessarily mean such advancements in AI.
The Downside of this Technology
At the same time, driverless cars will dramatically affect employment around the world.
Over time over 232,000 taxi and limo drivers in the U.S. will lose their jobs.
Over 647,000 bus drivers will be out of work.
Over 125,000 truck drivers will be looking for new careers.
Other jobs affected will include jobs at gas stations, parking lots, car washes, traffic cops, traffic courts, doctors, nurses, pizza delivery, mail delivery, FedEx and UPS jobs, as well as vehicle manufacturing positions.
So would you avoid travelling in a Rover 100?I'd not want one of these turning up to take me on a long journey and amongst other traffic, including lorries and buses.
What a person does personally has no relevance to the topic which is discussing the situation in general.if he'll refuse to answer for no logical reason?

Yes although driverless cars could be introduced in just 8 - 10 years time, these would simply be cars that are self-driving using existing infrastructure. This doesn't mean it will stay that way though.Driverless cars will come, that I am sure, but to do what you are suggesting is way way way off....if at all.
The problem with AI is that it can, almost by definition, never reach the sophistication necessary to be irrational. This means that, for instance, it will never be able to anticipate that the Volvo estate behind you is about to overtake at dangerous speed on a blind corner, which a human driver can guess because the driver of said Volvo is wearing a cap back to front, silver neck chains and an expression of frustrated hatred. And, if AI ever did reach that level of sophistication, it would also be able to mimic the Volvo driver in its irrationality, so the roads would be no safer.No one is under estimating how powerful computers will or might be in the future. However power and other technological advancements don't necessarily mean such advancements in AI.

The issue here is that the car is unsafe to travel in regardless of it you are driving it or not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUs-h23sp7MIsn't that the car that scored lowest for crash protection? If so, yes, I'd avoid going in one of them too.
Now, if I might be so bold to ask: Do you drive yourself?
When driverless cars are introduced I would expect the will have the latest safety features which considering introduction could be about 8 - 10 years away will likely be more advanced than now.
