Even the most optimistic (realistic) estimates are now around 2030+ for this.
What we're more likely to see in the next decade are so are better driver aides, such as computer assisted braking which we already have and other fine tuning. Fully auto? Likely 2035-2040ish best case scenario from what I've read. Considering how over glorified new tech always is, autonomous driving being a perfect example, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see it pushed even farther back than that.
I'll never own one regardless.  |
I have a crazy-ass idea as a cheaper solution...
- Just better educate people how to drive
- For the dumbasses who can't learn to drive properly, subsidize their Uber use (it will be cheaper to society in the long run)
- Make it harder to attain and keep a drivers license
- Keep roads in better condition
- Have severe penalties for cell-phone distracted driving
And tell the big-tech companies, who are
driving the autonomous driving technology to "F Off".
Hang up and drive...
