True.. But point is it can only go where the track goes. I for one don't want a computer deciding where my car goes without my involvement, and even more so, don't want everyone else around me in other cars thinking they don't need to even watch the road anymore. And I work in IT, leverage new technologies as much as possible. But cars move too fast to rely on sensors and computers.

The idea of being able to relax on the regular boring commute sounds wonderful... If it can make me a nice mocha as well sign me up.

As long as I can drive it on the back roads

Self driving cars are coming sooner than anyone realizes! Until recently there was no mobile processor fast enough to handle all the information. Enter Nvidia. They have a new mobile GuI processor with super computer speed than makes this possible. I know GM and Nissan have already been logging close to 500,000 driverless miles already. Think about how you solve a math problem in your head. How long does it take? Then you use a basic calculator to get an instant answer. Computers can react thousands of times faster than humans can. I bet 2018 is the year. I hate it personally i love driving but most people don't like to drive.

No thank you. Eyes on the road people!
Once vehicles begin communicating with each other and the outside environment, collisions could easily be avoided. Heck, if the Iconic laser headlamps can detect pedestrians and animals over 100 yards away, how difficult would it be to create an algorithm that determines the crash potential based on ones driving and nearby vehicles, and simply have it adjust the vehicle to reduce potential issues?

I, as part of a seemingly small portion, love it. What's wrong with trying to advance technology outside the bounds we've formed ourselves? Great showcase for future tech, and a surprisingly mouth-watering idea for an i3. Would buy

Hmmm, so I can drive it to dinner, have a couple bottles of wine, and let it get me home sans DUI? Uber beware.

Ripspeed is a great company of future thinkers/visionaries. Check out the self-driving Tesla video they made in a very similar fashion a few years before Tesla announced Autopilot cars.
