I absolutely can't wait for self driving cars! Then all the slow, inexperienced drivers can be driven around in the right lane and those of us that know what we're doing can stay in the left.
Nothing is more infuriating then a senior citizen that can't look over their shoulder to see who's in their blind spot and driving 10 miles under the limit to be in front of you for miles upon miles of highway. Same thing with young drivers - texting and fooling around listening to music to loud to hear a siren a block away.
And thats not to put either demographic down; I hope to someday be a senior citizen and being a teenager with a fresh license was fun also, but being a good driver is a skill earned via years of practice. If self driving cars can take the less experienced drivers out of the equation, all the better.
