    I'm still waiting for Microsoft to quit breaking something in Windows with every update. So count me out for now.

    Quoted from flashinstinct:

    ... With advancements in lidar technology...

    Wonder how LIDAR handles weather (downpour, snow, fog). That has to cause of bunch of refraction.

    Quoted from BC_Gambit:

    ...A ford leader was saying ~5 years ago something along the lines of "we will be selling a car without a steering wheel in ~5 years"...

    I bet he didn't run that statement by the Ford Engineering team first.

    Quoted from jawjaw:

    I would think all liability will passed onto the driver...

    Doesn't work that way for the gun manufactures. Sorry, not trying derail this into a gun debate. More about lawyers using the same strategy to go after the car manufactures. Ditto on a lot of things, ladders come to mind too - with what seems to be numerous warning labels all over them.

    But back on topic: I rented a Honda Insight using the Tura app a couple of weeks ago. I was seriously impressed with all the 'smart' safety features that car had. Keeps you in lane, adaptive cruse, can recognize speed limit signs, the center display shows the right side of the car when turning right (very handy), etc. Really neat features. Granted not driverless, but impressive nonetheless.
