Motorcycles are a viable, profitable, and often times actually very expensive, section of the market. Self driving cars are looking to START with much higher market penetration.

Actually pretty much EVERY tech company, and most of the car companies are working on this. It ain’t politics, it’s tech. Tech that IS coming and WILL succeed in the marketplace.

Rest assured the "market" for "autonomous" cars is absolutely political in nature. Just as is the market for "electric" cars, ethanol, solar and wind power and on and on. The fact that tech companies and even car companies are working on something does NOT mean there is a market for such products. This will be proven real quick when people have a choice as to buy one or not. My bet is the self drive car will be about as popular as "smart cars" electric cars and other politically correct offerings.

People want 500HP big gas guzzling American muscle and $1.00 per gallon gas. The only reason that is not the only thing you see on the road and at the pumps today is left wing nanny state politics.
