I've been in the automotive industry for 22 years, self driving cars are coming and that's that. I gotta say that I'm all for it, most people and I mean most, have no clue how to drive anymore. It cracks me up when someone says I'm going to turn the car on ... I've always started the car fired it up, started the engine, in my book you turn on an oven, a light etc, you start a car!

A car nowadays is purely a means to get from here to there without missing anything, they promote office software, hands free phone and texting, heck you can buy movie tickets from your car without talking on the phone! Driving is a lost art, which is all you should be doing behind the wheel, I've always preached to my kids, "what are you doing when your in your car?" And they answer, "driving Dad, we know".

The point is driving is as dangerous now as it has ever been, a car that can drive itself, by the time it's available to most people (15years) will dramatically reduce accidents, I guarantee you ... A computer controlled car will drive better than most of today's humans. C'mon, they relied on autopilot to get guys to the moon in the 60's, the auto manufactures will get this done and they will do it right. I see the biggest problem being what are the states and municipalities going to do without traffic fine money? They will have to get it from somewhere keep an eye on those taxes and fees. Oh, insurance rates would go down too (yeah right) just my two cents.
