Seems like people who are already driving SUVs equipped with optional turn signals will be willing to shell out the extra money so they can be driven with their coffee in one hand and cell phone in the other.
Honestly, how is this better, more economical and sustainable than some reliable public transport?
Me? Hell, I'm still happy to pay less for a manual transmission.
On another note, with security and hacking concerns these days; what the fuck, Google?

I work with some car manufacturers, the tech is pretty much there, they no longer talk about the driver sitting ready to take over, more like, play on the iPad or take a nap...
..but it'll just be more time for you to be "productive", ie your boss will expect you to arrive at work with a bunch of stuff already done!

if the US continues to completely eschew mass transit this is really the only viable way to avoid having constant traffic gridlock in every major city.

Is this driverless cars initiative some kind of "racialism" (as Ali G would say) towards Asians?

I don't understand how people can not see how this would be better than what we have now. I drive 30 mins - 1 hr to work everyday. That's 1-2 hrs a day that I could be doing anything else. Even staring a shitty gifs and buzzfeed surveys would be a better use of my time than driving. We would go from 10's of thousands of driving deaths in the U.S, to just 10's and we would get places so much quicker. People will say "Well, what about public transporation?" Where I am it doesn't go to where I need to be, and even if it did I want the autonomy to go where I want, when I want.

Not having to find parking would be a big advantage too. I'm assuming the cost will be significantly lower than taking a taxi? Or knowing Google maybe you will just be forced to watch ads as you drive or something.
