> this is why I don't believe self driving cars will become mainstream any time soon Firstly your assuming cars will be down with any level of frequency to concern people. This I doubt as cars are amazingly reliable these days and electric (which should grow with driverless tech) should be further due to less things to go wrong. Secondly, driverless increases the chance of the non-owner model (probably some all you can eat Uber type model) where you have hundreds of cars at your disposal. I think true self driving will delay a little due to the huge number of scenarios systems are going to need to account for almost perfectly. From this I guess we will get increasingly 'assisted driving' on freeways and know roads. But even this will disappear fast as cars with driverless tech requiring people to drive unknown areas will be uploaded and compiled to make this a known area fairly fast if there is any level of traffic.
