Thanks, fitzroy. That is interesting I'll have to read more about this.
It's just my opinion but at this time I can't see self-driving vehicles as a viable option for anyone. It just seems like another layer of complexity added into an already complex situtation.
In the case I need to assume control of the vehicle am I going to be fighting against the autonomous system for control? Not only will I need to understand the current environment and what others are doing around me; I also need to understand how the system is computing the situation and maintain control based on my observations and my observations of what the system is trying to do.
