I can't imagine it'll always be DOA, but perhaps the 'D' in DOA stands for delayed?
In my lifetime driver assistance has grown from power steering to ABS systems to traction control to stability control to smart cruise to automatic emergency braking to lane keeping, etc. The author makes reference to advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), V2V and V2X radios.
What other advances might remove more and more human element from the vehicle in the next 50 years? Would we barely provide any driving inputs by the year 2068?
And would future drivers be more open to autonomous vehicles, if they grew up riding in cars that one only had to turn on the vehicle, speak the destination, and slightly move the wheel here and there?
The article reminds me of predictions in the early 1990s that the internet would in the future be no more important than fax machines.
P.S. I'm no autonomous vehicle fanboy, just stating it like I see it.
