Summary of the topic

Summary

Recent announcements that manufactures will soon sell
self-driving cars raise hopes that autonomous vehicles will quickly solve many transportation problems. Advocates predict that by 2030, such vehicles will be sufficiently convenient and affordable to displace most human-operated vehicles,providing many savings and benefits to users and society overall.

Overall, the question is not whether cars will become autonomous, but rather how the
progressive shift towards driver-less vehicles will come about, how they will coexist
alongside traditional vehicles and how they will steer the change.

The main question is are we prepared for accepting this change?
