- georgemcbay 14y agoWe (everyone reading this) will be dead before that happens. Not because the technology won't be there but because making auto-driving cars mandatory won't fly culturally/politically, certainly not in the US. We'll have optional self-driving Google-car style cars soonish (maybe 10-15 years out when you factor in all the regulation hurdles), but they won't be mandatory for a very long time, if ever, and if even a small percentage of people opt out of the automatic driving system we still need the current control systems and road rules in place.
