I love folks who have a pet project and it consumes them.
I will never want to turn my driving over to an electronic device. NEVER
Don’t even want to hear about it.

Just think, when you have a driverless car, you’ll be able to send it on errands to get you the next 6-pack!

I suspect 20 yrs from now it will be the standard.
Governments will push for it ruthlessly because it’s another way to gather data and exert control.

It might get hacked and have an accident as a result of the accident.

Wouldn’t surprise me either. Wonder what they’ll do with all the old cars on the road.

They will use a carrot along with the stick.
