I read an article that said they could be available in as few as five years, super cruise in the next year.Personally, I like to drive, but I have one son that would absolutely buy one.  He hates driving, we always tease him that he needs to live in a big city with great public transportation so he doesn't have to drive.  4951

So, if you have a car that can drive itself, and it gets into a wreck, is it your fault or the cars? 4951

@RogueHippEE:
 
Let the lawsuits begin.
I like to drive. No I would not be able to sit there and not react. I have cameras all the way around my car. Nothing works like my own reflexes. I look nit at the camera but at all the spots the camera doesn't see.
 
I can not wait to see these cars on snow and ice.
talk about tracking someones every move.
if they are programmed to do the speed limit, what will happen to ticket revenue. Poof nope. They'll get you for something. 4951

In Europe they are introducing self driving busses. They are smaller than a regular bus, and I think electric, not 100% on that part. Just read something in the last couple weeks on that. 4951

@allymansfield: Doesn't look very railish to me?Pilot schemes will take place in different cities across Europe during the next 12 months, according to the press release. The potential of self-driving buses has already been demonstrated in Switzerland, France and Finland. The aim is to develop an automated public transport system. The CityMobil2 platform claims that self-driving buses are a particularly promising addition to transport services in areas with low or dispersed demand.

Driving around Houston and looking at the drivers, for the amount that are actively looking at their phone updating facebook or sending a tweet, you would think self driving cars are already here. Interestingly enough, just saw an article this morning where Tesla is activating a self driving feature that involves lane changes, and soon they will introduce a 'fetch' feature that will pull the car out of the garage for the driver.  4951
