Multiple car makers are predicting they’ll be shipping self driving cars by 2020. This isn’t 50 years, and it isn’t a few applications. Driving is joining manufacturing as something that will no longer be done by people.
The metro rail in DC has a driver because they have a union.
As soon as one of these self drivers runs over a little kid that is the day it would end. Heck you could be in the back asleep and when you get he the victim could be stuck in your grill. Pleasant dreams.
We don’t have driverless trains and they are on RAILS! LOL.
