The question is: "Do we WANT Self-Driving Cars?"

Don't know about you, but I definitely prefer to drive myself, if I take a car...

I don't want a self driving car (well at least until I am a geezer and can't drive well). As a software engineer I'm not sure I trust them to do the right thing. Only in a closed system where every car is self driving on designated roadways would I trust them. It's going to be real interesting seeing the lawsuits that come up when one's car self drives them off a cliff.

On the other hand I do want all the other jackholes on the road to be in self driving cars, today :P.
