This is great news to me. Automated cars open the doors to: - A potentially larger market for private tracks where you'll be enjoying racing, or even pleasure driving. It would be totally possible to have roads that are only here for pleasure driving. I can picture the Izu Skyline or other really beautiful roads that you pay to get a marvelous driving experience. - A much safer world. If every car on public roads would be driving itself, you would not have to worry about a driver having an abnormal behavior and hurting/killing you in the process[1]. - Cheaper insurance? I don't really believe this, but it could happen, as there would be a lot less accidents. I enjoy driving, I really do, but I'll use a self driving car any day, and I'm totally willing to pay an extra to drive in a safe and controlled environment like a private track. I think it's a win for everyone. If you enjoy driving, you'll enjoy staying safe, and self driving cars are bringing this safety. [1]: I recently had an accident while coming back home, an old driver panicked because he didn't know where to go, and suddenly pushed hard on his brakes.
