Technology companies have been remarkably bad at playing the propaganda game. We, as an industry, have done such a bad job of security that trusting the computer to drive you is going to be a powerful problem to overcome. "You've replaced your credit card because of a computer security failure, now think about that when getting into your computer controlled car. Can your family risk having a hacker at the wheel?"

- protomyth 11y agoWell, we do elderly transport in our neck of the woods (not sure about the urban folks). People currently sometimes have no options, but those groups probably won't overcome the regulatory wall that will show up. Plus, the truck driver is one of the most common jobs in almost every state, and it is a job that cannot be outsourced. Its going to be a rather large hit to the economy. I would imagine which side a politician would come down on. I will think it might become an issue when I see a Google Car in North Dakota in the winter. Until then, I'm not sure the technology for a national roll-out is really there.

- protomyth 11y agoI know that. That's why I mentioned it.
