I yearn for the day when driver-less cars become the norm. But then, I'm sure the same people will find ways to jailbreak the software and enable reckless driving behavior :(
Isn't it sad how pefectly fine we're with hauling 2000+ lbs of hardware just to get 150 lbs of flesh from point A to point B in the morning and back in the afternoon.
A driverless car is a taxi that's cheap and effective. You don't have to park it, you don't have to figure out the route. You just hail one, get in and type in the destination. Its sane public transport.
Not controlling the destination usually matters more since that means you may have to change train or bus several times.
