It sounds aggressive, but most of the hurdles at this point are regulatory and insurance related (at least during fair weather conditions). Uber is aiming to have autonomous cars within two years and Google is actively testing local autonomous commuter cars, so it seems feasible. Also note that current Tesla cars (assuming you are in the beta program) can drive themselves on highways today.
- rhino369 11y agoI mean fully autonomous, like let it drive to pick up the kids on its own. Not a really advanced cruise control / break if it sees an accident about to happen. Uber's map system can't even correctly get me from my house to my work without leading the driver into an alley. I think we'll get 95% of the way to autonomous, but I sort of doubt we'll have a car that you can, for example, sleep in while it's driving you around. I hope I'm wrong. I'd love to buy one in 3-6 years.
