Could you have the car come get you if you were stranded???? sorta like calling your horse back in the old days...
The Tesla already has a "Summons" feature that can do this. Not sure how limited it is in terms of range, but you can already do this today.

youre not allowed to question people in this debate.
It's funny because I don't think this is even a "debate". This is happening whether people will like it or not. I'm always skeptical of the futuristic nerd types who jerk off to this sort of stuff, but I've seen it with my own two eyes. You can see the strategic moves in the industry in real time - they all see it and are trying to figure out how to capitalize. Somewhat surprisingly, I think Ford, of all companies, is pretty well-positioned right now. Another company that is surprisingly well-positioned is Caterpillar; they actually had some of the original patents on some of this stuff in the 80's and let them expire because they didn't think they would ever amount to anything (whoops), but they are looking great in the industrial applications space for this.
Automated driving and 3-D printing are the next great leaps in quality of life.

I can certainly understand fear of the technology failing and thinking you trust yourself more than the technology(not saying right/wrong, just saying I get that feeling right now)...but can anyone REALLY say the same for the hundreds/thousand/millions of other drivers they'll come across on a daily basis?

You seem mad. Look dude, I trust myself and I haven't failed at driving.
But if you think for one second that electronics never fail, you are mistaken.
Not saying that I wouldn't give it a shot one day, but it would have to be 20 years deep into working the kinks out for me to feel safe letting go of the wheel and sitting back.
Anyway I'm out. Just wanted to add my .02 to the conversation but not willing to argue over it. Rather save my anger for the football situation.

Is that just some standard response to try to boom someone? At no point has he seemed "mad" in this discussion. Get over yourself.

Well, back in the old days my horse would never come when I whistled.... so I guess that's one improvement.

In general there are some really cool advance going on in construction equipment. Site development stuff is awesome and makes operators job so easy.

I don't trust electronics (which can fail) to make a decision when to stop at 70 mph.

All it takes is a short or a surge or a solar flare.

Hell, there was a 60 Minutes segment on the possibility of your car getting hacked by some sicko who would take joy in seeing a wreck.

I just want to be able to post on TD during my commutes.

I get the fear of hacking, I really do. But I don't get why that fear right now without even having the driverless car seems to be greater than the fear of other shitty human drivers.

A) jesus christ what a dumb argument
B) I dont believe you. You must have a high threshold for what you consider failing
One benefit we will see in self driving cars isnt if they crash but how they crash. Consider the plane, which is more designed to crash than it is to fly.
Most of the time, when people crash cars, they do it in the most fricked up way possible.

There are tons of people that can't operate an iPhone or computer. Will these people seamlessly operate a self-driving car?

If you had a driverless car you could drink all the beer you wanted
