personally I am very excited about this. It may still take decades for it to come to India. But still, it sounds totally life changing, atleast to me.

Also see this: the process to make self driving cars legal has already begun.


Your thoughts ?

Well I see this being compulsory 20-25 years down the line, at least in all the developed countries. There will no longer be any road accidents.

I would rather see this technology on public transport than a private one.

I would never let someone else to drive my car, let alone let the car drive itself.

But promising technology. I would like driver aids to come up in cars first, but those are restricted to super expensive cars for now.

But nice to see this tech. Awesome !

However, I am not optimistic whether this will workout. Take a look at this:

google is the epitome of a business gone bad.
they started out so well.
now all they care about is revenues and ads.

the consumer is left to rot.

I think the project is very old.
Google won the DARPA Grand Challenge ... see this link

I saw the telecast of this DARPA Grand Challenge on TV. It was very nice and exciting...

project is old, but the new thing AFAIK is that its running on public roads now. And its achieved over 200,000 miles on public roads without a single accident. Which is totally awesome!
