Like I said, send me a PM when you can go to the car dealer and buy a car that drives itself in every condition you would now be expected to be capable of driving in.

(Hint: It won't be by 2021).

It is mind-blowing how many people there are who are emotionally invested in living in a high tech Neo Tokyo and get enraged when you suggest it may not happen soon.

All these cars are going to be equipped with internal surveillance so they can prosecute the gross dudes who shoot loads in them. No privacy in your car in the future.

Willing to bet on your predictions here or are you just talking poo poo? $1000 (you make six figgies right???) says 10% of vehicles in the united states are self-driving by the end of 2036. That's 10 years under your estimate, seems fair to me. Bet is cancelled if the SA forums do not exist by then. Hell, if you really had convictions you'd give me better odds but I'm down for 50-50.

See you in 2036 you punk rear end little runt!!!

it's mind blowing how you reach this conclusion, and not simply the conclusion that we don't believe you when you say X but everyone else from CEOs of major automotive companies to start up engineers to programmers are going 'this will be done within a decade or two.'

I mean bro super smart scientists and people in the field said the Human Genome Project would take decades and decades and decades but hey technology advanced and we knocked that poo poo out in less than 15 years. That's better indication of how this will go than some random 70s NASA video.

The term Daily Driver makes me very angry.

Its a loving car. A CAR.

Sometimes I think America is more at odds with the Western World than Russia is.

Also "stick shift?" IT'S A MANUAL GEARBOX!!!

We say daily driver because americans are so rich even ordinary people own multiple cars

Sounds like he knows something we don't

We can sit here and argue about this all day, but we've been on this merry-go-round before and it degrades into people who are like Star Citizen enthusiasts but about this technology calling people who have serious questions about it "retards".

PM me when you can go to the car dealership and buy a self-driving car that can work in any conditions you would reasonably be expected to drive in.

The year is 2046, because that is thirty years from 2016. I use my mobile app to summon an Uber autonomous cab to take me to work. It arrives with several major body panels missing. The door pops open and I slide into the back seat, careful to avoid the piles of feces and used needles littering the floor. The car shudders off like an old shopping cart, because two of the tires are blown. "This is progress," I think to myself.
