Self Driving Cars???

Taken from: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9226976/Google_gets_first_license_for_self_driving_cars

The article says Google has a license from the state of Nevada to have self driving cars.  It notes:

It was the first step toward getting autonomous cars, which are designed to use artificial intelligence, computer sensors and GPS instead of human drivers, on the state's roadways.

What a concept!!!  While the prototypes have to be expensive - the processing power to take thousands of inputs - where are the cars on this street - are they too close - should "I" speed up - slow down - swerve to avoid a pedestrian or other.  


Can you picture the streets in ten to twenty years - all with self driving cars - no accidents (or much fewer), no road rage, no drunk drivers, no distracted drivers (go ahead and text or use your phone - since you are not driving!!!).
