Self-driving cars will be the norm by 2025 at the latest. Take it to the bank.

Totally unnecessary. It could provide a benefit but the cars will easily be able

I think self-driving cars will happen but not so soon. There is a huge inertia

What are they going to do with a car they bought 3 yrs ago for $40K?

Cash for clunkers program? Might be an incentive from the government

Where's the government getting the money to buy all these cars?

Everything will be completely socialized at that point

People switched over from buying CD's to subscribing to Spotify

The sunk costs on CDs are so small relative to a car. It's comparing apple/orang

I dunno I think cars generate more annoyance than CD's, too.

You're looking at cars as just a means for transportation. For MANY people, cars

Okay, how many people view cars this way? 10%? 5%? Can't be that high.

It will be super easy to retrofit a car to be self driving. Seriously there is

How so? I can see myself owning both, but never self driving exclusively.

That is different. You said never utilize which would be foolish. Sometimes
Baron

I guess I meant I wouldn't chose driverless over piloted.
Backcountry

I can see for some people they would want to drive. I just think I would use it

For every day stuff it would be amazing. I guess that's what we will see.

I think you will have a self driving car that can switch to human driver mode

I'm assuming NYC will make it illegal. The politicians will say they have an obligation to protect citizens and that

thoughts on this statement. most cars sold in 2025 will be designed to spend most of their driving time on auto.

Could be. However, Americans love their cars too much for full adoption

I've heard kids born now won't ever "drive" a car. That makes sense but it will take longer for us drivers to adopt
