^The "road train" of self-driven cars on a Spanish motorway.
I know by posting this I'm inviting all the cynics to tell me how stupid I am and how not wanting to do something so simple as driving a car is what is wrong with America.
Let me save you the trouble: I am stupid and lazy.
I would trust Toonces more than a self-driven car.
It might be a wonderful idea, but the lawyers will have a field day with it.
“Were you injured or killed in an accident with a self-driving car? We’ll help you sue Volvo and claim the damages you deserve!”
Of course, the liberal plan is to do away with private automobiles.
Why are you making the trip? Perhaps you could put a robot in the car and have it do the task for you when the car gets it there?

I want Train Ferries - where I can drive my car onto a train car with a bunch of other cars, the train takes me to a town a few hundred miles away, then I drive off.
The reason transportation sucks is because we all live in poverty. Face it.
Since I saw “The Sontaran Stratagem” episode of Doctor Who, I’d be really leary of giving anything else control of my car! :-)
Google is beta testing this idea in cooperation with the state of Nevada. It also has a more limited test of several self-driving cars on the road in California. These tests are an accumulation of real-world road experience that will be critical if this technology is going to get established.
If it does catch on, the expense of development and testing, though considerable, is minuscule compared to the advantage of being able to use existing infrastructure.
that was already done here in the states years ago.
A self drive car is a great idea but I don’t think I could relax while being in one.
Give it a ten year trial and then compare to current fatalities and if it wins, I may try it.
