On: Google's Driverless Car Is Worth Trillions

[lucian1900]

Would you use an optionally driverless car? On long trips you could just take a nap, but you could have your fun driving any time.

However, at some point the safety factor may force you to stop driving. I wouldn't want you to be driving, when a machine could do it better.

Many will not take such a rational approach to the safety issue. Every driverless car fatality will get huge press. No one I know has ever died in an airplane, but quite a few I know are afraid to fly.

Indeed, public perception will be an issue. I still have hope that people will get over it.
