This is a link posted by Grelber in another thread, as it relates to a different topic. When I read this article I noted there were a lot of thoughtful reader comments on the topic of driverless vehicles in general, and concluded the topic might use a thread of its own.
Having said that, I like the idea of driverless cars for trips around town, thinking about a time when I might be deprived of a drivers licence due to age and/or diminished ability. I assume I'll still know how to enter a program and don't end up far, far from home.
