The future of the self-driving electric car.

Very interesting. This is certainly something that we will be seeing in the nearby future. I wouldn't see a need for specific parking lots. What would be needed would be a car lane on certain streets where those self driving electric cars could cruise at low speeds.

A friend of mine has a 3 year old daughter. His comment to me struck me in a way I didn't expect:

"There's a good chance my daughter may never learn to drive"

If he has the money and love of technology to get his daughter a self-driving car at 16 (or earlier if laws change) - why would she?
