Elon Musk, Sam Altman Predict Self-Driving Cars on the Road in Just a Few Years

I don't see it happening and here is why-- when was the last time you used a computer + operating system + software that you would trust your life with?

Out of nowhere we are expected to believe that a new computing platform is going to appear that is not going to be susceptible to bugs, viruses, and hacking? If it was possible to create such a platform, why don't we already have it?

It sounds like pretty much everyone working on these thinks it's commercially viable tech in less than 5 years.

So massive disruption in 5-8 years? It's the kind of technology that will move very quickly once it works and the initial social/legal factors are dealt with. The benefits are too strong for it not to.

People don't want self-driving cars. People want to roam the open range--its the American way. I doubt self-driving cars will ever become mainstream.
