I can't wait for self driving cars. If they work out the bugs, they will open up so many possibilities. Crashes will go down, people with disabilities will be able to travel freely. Send your kid off to school and have the car come back by itself. No more deaths and disabilities from drunk drivers. Drive 24 hours to your destination. Roaming taxis that know how to get anywhere. Send your car out to get a bag of groceries or that beer you ran out of. It will be a radical change. As big as the internet. It will have impacts and applications we can't imagine.

But there will be an equal number of negatives. It will put autobody shops out of work. Will insurance rates go down? Will insurance rates for those that drive manually go up? Will that put more insurance employees out of work? The junk dealers and repair parts businesses will suffer. Some truck drivers will be out of work. Will there be any pride in ownership or will they become utility boxes like refrigerators - only to transport bodys.

The courts will have some interesting cases.

It will be fascinating.
