During my stint in the automotive biz I wrote a bit of software for automatic cruise control - the type that watches for traffic ahead and brakes/accelerates accordingly. It was pretty cool but nowhere near the complexity of what Google engineers are playing with today. The biggest issue with autonomous vehicles IMO will be serviceability. They will not be mainstream until they can survive being maintained by local service stations. :eek:

Hey, pretty soon we won't have to do anything. A computer will do it for us. All we'll have to do is sit in a chair all day while a robot feeds us and wipes our butts.

Ho difficult is it to drive? Isn't driving sorta fun? Or is driving now a secondary "task" that we must endure while we're doing other things.

Hiya Mr. Pots. Here in the megalopolis on the coast (LA/Orange co.) it would be a welcome respite not to have to deal with the braindead masses and the young invincibles on the roads and highways. Just kick back with a book or a martini in hand and watch the scenery drift past. :)

Heh, OK, you made your point. No way in hell I'd want to be on those west coast highways.

Give me the wide open flatland roadways....where you can crank up the music and get it up to 150....

Last time I drove in that area, I learned a few new hand signals. 😊

Will DWI deaths be a thing of the past with driverless cars? Amazing!

I'm looking forward to getting my pizza delivered without the meth head coming to my door.

If AK legalizes weed this year, you can have your local weed dealer deliver pizzas. :D A win win.
