- nextstep 15y agoI wish. Google could have done this (the G drive) when it was originally rumored (2006?) but instead waited until Dropbox had taken a majority stake in the market. I'm scared that their autonomous car program will have a similar fate. Google has been testing their autonomous cars for years and has logged thousands of miles, but they don't seem to have any plans to push this incredible technology to market. The largest roadblock (sorry for the pun) is probably the need for new legislation on driver-less vehicles, but even if these new laws are written soon, I am afraid Google will fail to move quickly in this exciting new market.

- bishnu 15y agoIf legislation is the major obstacle, then what does it matter how long it takes Google? This is everyone's problem.
- agumonkey 15y agoAnd according to recent news it seems it will be quite some time before cities can see automated vehicles. A bit sad to see the big technological step they accomplished being blurred by other processes.

- spoiledtechie 15y agoDitto, But also, if those driver less cars ever do finally hit the market, im refinancing my house to buy one once they hit. I will be saving such an amount of time, it would be worth 40k for me just to get into one of those cars.
