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

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

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

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

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

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'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
