Part of me wonders, in the future, how we'll view the attempts to automate pilots and drivers. It feels like a natural step now in the technology but perhaps it'll be viewed like trying to make a robot ride a horse instead of looking to invent the car. I wonder what the next order-of-magnitude leap for transport will be. Cheap, fast, safe. Hyperloop maybe? Will we look back at holding on to air and road travel as a bit of a reckless endeavour?

If you took humans off the road and made the roads suitable for only automated cars it would be so much easier to automate, its only hard because we have to make it drive with the signals/lines and such that humans require rather than just broadcasting things like the traffic signal in an easy way for cars to understand.
