It's high time we had a thread dedicated to autonomous cars on this page.
If this works out, autonomous cars will be the biggest transportation innovation to occur in our lifetimes. No one knows what kind of change self-driving and self-parking cars will have on current transportation trends - but most analysts agree the disruption will be huge.
Will people need to own cars anymore, or will large public fleets of autonomous taxis be enough?
What will the role of buses and public transportation be?
When cars can park themselves, will there be a need for parking requirements anymore?
