One benefit is the cheaper insurance, and it will free up time to/from work to pursue a hobby, get some work done, or even take a nap!<p>https://www.bcgperspectives.com/content/articles/automotive-consumer-insight-revolution-drivers-seat-road-autonomous-vehicles/
I can't wait for the moment you have a warrent issued for your arrest that the auto driving car locks the doors and drives to the nearest police station.
I still don't trust a computer's judgement versus my own, so I'm reluctant to jump right into wanting a self-driving car.<p>Instead, I'd want the transition to be gradual. Maybe start with the self-parking stuff and the automatic lane-changing stuff, then migrate over to more and more automation until it really is self-driving. Even then, I'll probably always want a way to take manual control if necessary.
Yes and no. I really want sophisticated cruise control for driving on the freeway, but for the most part I don't desire it for driving on surface streets. My real dream is that computer-driven cars can help reduce traffic because most slowdowns seem to be caused by human response time and limited senses.
Chea!! The car can be comfort focused over driver focused (I want a small kitchen in mine with wrap around windows). No drunk driving necessary. No expensive parking needed, send it around the block or to a cheap lot further away. You can even make yourself the last pickup in the carpool with your own car!
I want a self-driving car for long distance drives like for a vacation and if I am too tired. However, I also enjoy driving a sports car with a manual transmission on back country roads.
Have you been driving recently, with all these idiots (excuse my French) on the streets? Of course I would want all of us a self-driving car. We would be so much safer.
