If these can even do this well, the writing is on the wall. Driveless will be our primary form of transportation and goods delivery in 20-30 years. It’s inevitable.
And by then, our love of automobiles will be satisfied by ludicrously realistic video games, for those that still need the experience. But once they die off, fuggetaboutit. Cars will be seen as something driven by automation.
Buses, cars, trucks, ships, trains and planes.
I don’t believe it will be that long. I suspect 10 years from now.

Enjoy the freedoms you still have while they last.
I think there will still be enthusiasts for self-driving just as there are horse riding enthusiasts and bicycling enthusiasts
