We got another 25+ years to go before self-driven cars are the norm. Now for cities and countries to start working on a smart grid for their infrastructure.

Maybe not in the long term. When all the bad drivers are no longer driving, will accident rates plummet?

yes they will, meaning that the most lethal thing on the road is someone driving their own car. society may one day view those who drive themselves on public roads negatively and they will have to pay a big premium for the 'privilege'.

I don't trust this autonomous cars' safety. When there is only one autonomous cars on the street, it might be very safe. But it would be a totally different story when there are tens of thousands of autonomous cars on the road.

I think autonomous cars will be better for the vast majority. Just sucks that we are in the small minority that can drive well

and even though there will be fewer accidents overall, the risk pools are entirely different (no driver vs driver). anyway, fun to speculate.

If society ever gets to the point where I couldn't drive my own car anymore, this is where I would probably end up....................in the nut ward.
