I write software for a living. I'm not a skeptic. While I'm excited for autonomous vehicles, I don't think the transition will be completely smooth and is more likely decades away and not years. Once the transition starts though, it will be swift.
The technology I don't like is electronic voting machines. Those were a terrible idea.

I can't wait for the day when I can say, "Siri, take me to Austin." and I can climb into the backseat and go to sleep.

The autonomous vehicles have human backup drivers ready to take the wheel if any problems arise."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Had a chance to spend some time last week with a guy who does transportation research for a living. Very well-respected guy with a ton of experience and publications. One of his specialty areas right now autonomous vehicles and how they would impact road usage, traffic, etc. Fascinating stuff.
I told him I was skeptical about how quickly we would overcome the software and safety hurdles associated fully autonomous driving as it is frequently portrayed in the media and by many prognosticators. He smiled and said, "Oh, we are 40-50 years away in my opinion.""There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Either way, he may be right and I hope he's wrong. 50 years is a long time-- only 66 years elapsed from Kitty Hawk to Tranquility Base.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

First fatality of a vehicle in autonomous mode where supposedly it was the algorithms fault:
https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/19/1...-tempe-arizona
There was a person behind the wheel too. Not sure the point of her being there if she isn't stopping accidents.
