Driverless cars are coming faster than most people think. Cars are already incorporating driverless features. Various types of traction control and automated brake control are standard on many vehicles. The new Bentley can park itself - both parallel and diagonal.
I think the first truly driverless vehicles will be UPS and FedEx delivery trucks. With a robotic arm that drops the package near your front door.
But, will YOU buy a car that has "Autonomous Braking" and can park itself?
I agree. You will see driver-less cars first developed in retirement type cities to help the elderly go to the store, church, out to restaurants,etc.. I sure hope we have driver-less cars when I get older. Also, I would be willing to pay handsomely if it means getting a large part of my freedom to move around back.

Some form of autopilot has been around on Aircraft for over 100 years. Yes I said 100. We still don’t have paying passengers on pilotless planes.

Punks will quickly realize they need only stand in the road in front of it and then have friends stand behind it to trap the robot truck. It will then be stuck due to its own safety systems and free for the looting.
