Google's Self-Driving Car Coming Soon?

At a recent conference, Google's Anthony Levandowski announced his expectation that the technology for self-driving cars will be released in the next 5 years. Scott examines the likelihood that these cars will realistically be on the streets in the not too distant future.

I actually think this is a cool idea for those that are disabled and don't have a driver's license. I'm one of them, and it would be VERY nice to be able to do my errands on MY time, without having to FIND a ride and then HOPE the driver has patience to wait until I get in and/or out of the vehicle.

It was supposably told to be released this year. Not sure why but also 16 states have announced a new law saying you can not sleep when google drive is on.

2016, ppff big fucking deal.. In that time we probably have something alot better since technology is advancing alot faster than expected.

Only people who have the money will buy new cars. Most people cling to the current cars they have as long as possible. Eventually, all new cars will be autonomous. Then human drivers will be weeded out by governments around the world.

GOOGLE'S SELF -DRIVING CAR COMING SOON ?

[BurkeLCH]

Technology is going to keep getting faster while inversely government keeps getting slower. Gee... wonder what that will result in.

[TheZehta]

Fair point, and a good one

[TheGeordish]

Yes a good point but assuming self-driving cars are put into production, not everyone will have one immediately and so there will be a mix of both human and machine cars for a long time unless human only cars are banned. It is likley however that if self-drive cars are used people will still be expected to pay attention and take control of the car if and when necessary
