I seriously doubt real, production SDCs from the likes of Ford, GM, et al., are going to lack manual controls. Consumers will simply not accept them otherwise

I seriously doubt real, production SDCs from the likes of Ford, GM, et al., are going to lack manual controls. Consumers will simply not accept them otherwise (I know I won't).
If I'm wrong about that I guess I'll continue to drive myself in an older car as long as it's legal, which should be for a long time to come. Hell, at the very least, buyers of Ferraris/Porsches/Corvettes (or even Ford mustangs) are not going to want to sit idly in their sports cars and be chauffeured around at the speed limit all the time :)
- Houshalter 11y agoMost of these cars will be taxis like Google's. There's no reason for Uber's car fleet to have manual controls, and they will probably cut them. That said I'm not too worried about this. It's already possible to lay out roadblocks, or just shoot people driving by. It just isn't done much outside of third world countries. And robot cars will have cameras and an internet connection.
