Never thought I’d come into an article where FR commenters are thinking far too two dimensional. If we went off most comments here we’d still be in punch card technology. The business opportunities are endless.

I work in a field where these things are addressed on a regular basis with my clients. I'm a civil engineer with a focus in transportation planning, design and operations.

I'll tell you right now that a scenario where people never learn to drive a car is decades away, regardless of what you read in articles like this one.

this is about control by the big silicon valley types. Google does the maps and satellites. There are no opportunities for regular people.

It’s been a sci-fi concept for so long it’s hard to believe it’s actually happening. And of course nobody thinks about revolutions. In 1990 who wanted to carry a phone with them at all times? In 2000 who wanted to cram a full fledged computer into that phone they were carrying at all times? And now in 2017 who wants to give up driving and let the car do everything?
