Don’t hope.
Be part of the process. This is what I kept saying. This technology will come. Just like every other technology wave that has come.
We need to be in front of it. Embrace it. And ensure that the government does not run amok. We have laid down our responsibilities for far to long in the country to those that “know better.”
Like I posted before, I look forward to the day when I am commuting to work and I am actually working, not spending that hour dodging people who are destructive behind the wheel. And, I am sure, for the vast majority of them, they would rather be texting, etc. during that commute time.
... I actually look forward to the day of transporters!
The reason that self-drive cars will have a demand vs. mass transit is you are still free. Mass transit requires that you follow someone else’s schedule and stop for everyone along the way. In my area, a drive that takes 20 - 30 minutes, depending on time of day, never takes less than an hour on mass transit, and you don’t end up where you need to be anyway.
Self-driving, I am still in my car alone, my own schedule, and “fast”.
Do you mean like electric cars?
Do you realize that electric car ownership went up, in 2011, from .014% to .062%
The reality is vast majority of the population reject self driving cars.
And it has less to do with technology than it has to do with the recent history of our government.
Which is neither effective, efficient and or non-intrusive.
Although, I have yet to use ANY “technological device”, which I use them quite frequently, that does not have gliches.
In fact, if my tablet or phone were a self driving car I would be afraid to driven by it.
Good luck in the future..I HOPE you get ever thing you want.
Just keep it away from me.
