Lamenting the decline of the car

[ssiguy]

I have always thought that self-driving cars were much ado about nothing and I still do.

Even if they start to perfect the technology in all climatic conditions, the legal barriers are too great to cross. If someone is in an accident that their vehicle causes and yet the "driver" wasnt driving then who is responsible.........if you charge the "driver" that is akin to currently blaming the passenger for a driver error. Good luck getting the automakers to take responsibility. Will people even need to be able to drive or get a license for that matter.
