So ~now~ in the future we'll strap ourselves into pieces of metal which 99.99% of us can't even begin to understand, controlled by a box of metal and sand which 99.9999% of us can't even begin to understand, then barrel down roads at 80mph while praying that the sand box in the other lane doesn't commit to a course of action that will only be understood when the black boxes are inspected by humans after being extracted from the twisted wreckage ... and that seems more sane?

This will become a huge phenomenon with everyone rushing around every barrier set up by lawmakers (the Internet of (swiftly moving) [heavy] Things) 2. This will be locked down hard by lawmakers and quickly turn into an industry as heavily regulated as aircraft manufacture and only a handful of players will have access to the market, resulting in slower growth and penetration into the entire market.
