Hummmm... Too optimistic. I think the driverless car thing is going to be hampered by rural living as well as the dependence on fossil fuel. Refueling is still a major limitation to this. I don't want my vehicle parking 5 miles away from my work using up more fuel at my expense. It sounds like a recipe for me hating cars in general.

This kind of thing would also give techno terrorists a very easy way to cause havoc on the masses... I think we would need to take cyber security quite a bit more serious before this could take place.
