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!

The car looks like it has seen horrible things o_O

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!

can see personal ownership going down as it would be a waste to have it stay in your drive-way 90% of the time. would rather enjoy being able to sleep, work or drink while the car drives. take a nap and wake up somewhere else. traffic jams would be a thing of the past.

theres an autonomous google car, that is circulating around their headquarters, and its zero failure to this day, nothing compared to human drivers.
i think it would be great, would solve a lot of traffic problems, taxi drivers will be pissed about this tho

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.

Looks like something from a AI movie.

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?

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.
