[Driver-less tech in the next 2-3 years]

Driver-less tech is 200 years in the future. You may wish to begin reading about science.

Nuclear fusion is 20 years away, again and again.

Every sci fi movie is off by 100s of years.

Driver-less tech is not even proven feasible yet.

“Driver-less tech is 200 years in the future. You may wish to begin reading about science.”

Try 10 years.

Today, there are ports where shipping containers are unloaded and sorted with zero human intervention. It’s 100% automated.

Robotics, AI, and similar technologies are getting pretty close to, and in some cases have exceeded, many sci-fi predictions.

The biggest obstacle to self-driving cars being on the road immediately is not even road conditions. It is human drivers.

This is NOT even a technological challenge. That part is 98% solved, door-to-door. It is a regulatory challenge to accommodate human drivers.

As Elon Musk said, eventually, human drivers will be illegal.

Where do you see horse-drawn carriages on the roads today?
