Why do people think fully autonomous self-driving cars (not Tesla "you still have to watch the road and takeover" garbage) won't sell like hot cakes?
It will take just the first few early adopters bragging about how they can now go out and drink as often as they want without having to deal with taxi or Lyft, and every boozehound will be in line to buy a self-driving car.
people like to be in control. Even if they're actually complete shit at driving and probably shouldn't be in control.
You underestimate how rampant alcoholism and drug use are.
Because most people won't be able to afford them at first, and because self-driving cars will still have to share the road with erratic, unpredictable drivers, they'll get a reputation for being dangerous when they're inevitably involved in lots of accidents.
Self-driving cars are a great idea, but can only really work when every car on the road drives itself, and that's an economic impossibility.
well, more what needs to be done is there should be separated lanes explicitly for self driven cars
you overestimate it if you think enough people are that addicted to spend thousands of dollars on a car instead of just getting an uber.

This could work out in favor of the based half of the country desu.
M8, the amount I drink there's no way I could get a car to drive me home. I can't even use the key on my fucking door.
