Awesome. I can't wait til they license Google's DriveSense (or whatever 2 word name they'll come up with for their automatic driving technology).

It'll feel weird having my car drop me off at work while it goes and gets charged up, picks up my groceries, takes itself to get washed and shows up again when I'm ready to go home, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

But at that point, do you need to own the car? Basically you just described a taxi service without human drivers.

Perhaps a taxi service based around self driving cars could drive costs below the cost of ownership. My guess is that the limiting factor is rush-hour.
