In 20 years it will probably be illegal to drive a car yourself.

Why?

They have had their prototypes driving around California, with a total of 140,000 miles without a single accident.

I don't know if I can trust a completely self-driving automobile. Will there be, at least, a manual override?

What don't you trust about it? It's safer than a human driver.

In the tests they've done they have always had a button you could press to override the automatic controls. I'm not sure if that would be in the final version, and how that would work if you didn't have a licence to drive.

It can, they prototyped it in LA, and other CA cities, 140k miles without any incidents. Even went on the "curviest road".

I told this to a nonprofit agency and asked them to use it in a campaign. I am repeating it here...


Americans spend an estimated at least 1.2 trillion dollars a year on gasoline.
This is close to all the IRS brings in each year in net revenue, 1.9 trillion.
With most of the oil in foreign countries, this money is leaving the US and no wonder the economy has been failing.
Shouldn't the government put in more high-speed rail systems to keep trillions of dollars in this country and save this country?
