>The self driving stuff will keep improving over the next decades I am sure. But getting them to the point they can safely be driver-less in 20 years seems about as likely as flying cars being common in the year 2000 (which didn’t happen btw). My guess is we will get more enhanced breaking/cruise control/driver supplemental type stuff over the next 20 years.
Have you seen the Telsa autopilot? It’s pretty amazing.

Watch the Tesla autopilot fail to avoid an accident, a situation that a human driver has no problem dealing with:

Pretty amazing!
I know exactly what your response will be.
But Tesla has no business deploying cars using that “autopilot” system, knowing that drivers will invariably ignore warnings and put too much trust in it.
