There were a couple of great stories back in the Eighties about robot cars that caught a ‘virus’ and ‘mono’ed’, (Carbon Monoxide), their occupants and then drove off into the hinterlands to form roving robot car gangs.

The cautionary tales warn us once again to be careful of what you ask for. You might just receive it.

On the other hand having a car take me to work on long boring commutes where I could sleep in late might be cool.

I remember that episode in the 1980's era TV show, "Whiz Kids." BTW, there was a similar episode like that on NCIS too.

I don't think self driving cars will ever be ready for prime-time, I don't think we are at that level of artificial intelligence yet plus driving a car also requires some gut feelings too, can we do that with a computer? I really don't think so.

I like the concept of having your vehicle drop you off at the door and then go park itself. If it can’t find a spot, it can just go for a joy ride ‘till it’s time to pick me up.
