The Case for Robot Cars

I think robotic cars are inevitable. But I also think its going to take awhile. Cars will need to be able to distinguish between birds and toddlers with a deal deal of certainty.

We'll get there. And when we do, we'll see a dramatic reduction in the size of most cars and in the number of cars we'll need. A great many of us will be taking cabs instead of owning. Our houses will lose their garages and traffic systems will become realtime schedulers.

Don't get me started about robotic storage or how virtual factories will be sharing the roads with us.
