Well the idea is taking root in NV, Google has a fleet of autonomous vehicles and the idea is to just eventually put in a destination and it will go. Cars will communicate between themselves using a sort of extended near field grid. Manual override will be left on as emergency precautions. I essentially imagine I, Robot (the movie not book). We're not there yet but we're not far either. What is halting right now is cost.

On one hand, I know this is best. I am fallible (a machine is too but less so), I tire, I get distracted. A computer doesn't. However, I love driving and can't picture myself just sitting in my car.
