    I already hate you for starting this non relevant thread.

    That's what I'm thinking. Not like my cars are going anywhere... And not like I'm interested in any new ones...

    Car driving in future will be like horse riding now. One of many relatively expensive hobbies.

    No more traffic jams, cleaner air, less accidents, cheaper insurance, less fear of Loved ones getting hurt .......... what else? And no worry, it won't diminish our ability to use cars for pleasure; at least not in our lifetime.

    It will diminish our ability to use cars for pleasure as soon as automatic control only roadways are introduced. Autonomous cars work a lot better if there are no manually controlled vehicles on the road.

    You will need an autonomous tow truck to drag your car to the designated manual control zones. I'm sure there is a dystopian future car-guy sci-fi movie out there showing this happening.

    There is a possibility that we will not be able to drive at all if the insurance companies don't insure us, because of risk.
    @Deni2s If it is irrelevant then why waste your time posting twice?

    As much as I love cars I can’t wait for self driving vehicles. The amount of incompetent drivers I have to constantly deal with it’s a good trade off. I had a 15 min commute for work for 6 years and now I have to commute 70 miles round trip and I’ve never been angrier in my life. I understand why people murder now.

    I think eventually gas cars will be for motor sports and “off road” use.

    Sabastian seems like a good guy to me. Ned Ludd is the real misguided a-hole that we have to watch out for.
