In 2015, we're on the cusp of a similar change: the computerized car.
no, we're not
i know alot of very wealthy people have invested alot of money and research into the idea that it is, but it's always been an over-reach to think they would be in general daily use...especially the google car with no steering wheel
self-driving vehicles are more advanced than ever, because *all automation is getting better*
i can definitely envision self-driving semi-trucks in dedicated lanes, or google car-type things at amusement parks and even in a central downtown area like Manhattan
i know it's hard to hear this but a truly autonomous car that interacts with daily traffic with no restrictions is much, much more complex than anyone other than the actual people who do the coding work will admit
talk to someone who actually codes the AI for this stuff...there's a bright future ahead, but the hype machine is in full effect
