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!

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 love this progress, but I do recall a sci fi story from when I was young, all about a big error that happened and killed so many...seems like there would be a hack, power outage, communication glitch, etc., that would result in something horrible.
BUT who knows, given Google's progress with robotics, etc., I figure it is only a matter of time before Skynet becomes a reality too.

What about the other 25%. Those fuckers will be a problem no?
If everything is automated and communicating with other cars and getting us from A to B as quickly and safely as possible we can still get rammed into, cut up, over taken, slowed down etc. by them?

Looks like something from a AI movie.

I see them every day here, multiple times a day – and they are NEVER driving themselves. Unless the requirement is that you have your hands on the wheel, in which case it's a fucking waste of time.

I wish they sent one into a F1 race!

Could I program mine to be a taxi service while I'm work during the day?
