You obviously distrust technology, while I on the other hand distrust the average American.
I envision the technology being used almost exclusively on the interstates, and executed so well that it wont have to be “pushed” on anyone.
Thousands or heck MILLIONS of cars linked via computer and programmed properly could make rush hour interstate traffic a distant nightmare relic of the past. Robocars could travel safely at extreme speeds and merge and unmerge flawlessly if all the other cars are also linked and the actions of all are coordinated.
Now.. off the interstates... or especially on small rural roads... maned driving will be the norm for many decades to come.
This isn't an issue of technology. The technology to do everything this article describes has existed for years.
