I love it when they put a specific number of something that can never be quantified. Why 75%? Why not 85% or 65%?
- it's an estimatecannonball1978
- Based on what though? No one knows at this point if people will actually buy these cars.reanimate
- not to an absolute, but some make more informed estimates than otherscannonball1978
- also, would you buy one?cannonball1978
- Only if everyone else does.reanimate
- you will, because insurances will be cheaper on those cars. industry will push them into market.uan
- you either get with %s or you don't,
I like my %sGeorgesIV - I would buy 75% of one.sarahfailin
- This is one of the dumbest questions I've seen on QBN.ORAZAL
- I estimate that the estimation was most probably made by someone who estimates estimations.sem

- this isn't going to end well, it's one thing for a hipster to be taken a few blocks to get his latte but this is people's livelyhoods we're talking about._niko
- truckers don't take this shit laying down, there will be mass highway protests, they'll shut everything down before they let this happen_niko
- it will put a lot of humans out of work that's for sure. There needs to be a smart way of converting these current drivers into new positions within the companylvl_13
- Good luck with that. No company has a problem laying off 10,000 people if that product is no longer needed. That's a LOT of truck drivers.formed
- I think it'll just happen. Evolve or die, as they say.formed
- It'll happen slowly. Someone retires or quits, they won't get replaced by another human.ETM
- Lets not forget the substantial cost in replacing a fleet.ETM

People will just get fatter as they can devote 100% attention to eating while driving, rather than only the 80% attention to eating while driving now.
- it'll be more like 30% snapchat, 20% instagram, 20% facebook, 30% eatingKrassy
- punches for anyone who eats while drivingmonospaced

Cool, frees up society to spend more time looking at screens.

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.
- i like driving. and i like driving faster than 25 mph. and my office is 15 min away.sine

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?
