      I hear you. I love driving and I have zero interest in buying a self-driving vehicle. However I can still stand outside my own preferences and look at it objectively enough to see that it’s just a matter of time untill AI gets so good at it that it could be considered irresponsible to let a human drive. I don’t like it but that’s progress.

      Travelling in a community whose public roads require 100% AVs will probably be the safest implementation of driving, period. But if you don’t trust the tech, then just don’t live or travel in that community.

      I suspect we’ll see an AV only lane on the hwy soon, and people will realize how much faster you can get through traffic without tailgaters and lane weavers constantly causing micro inefficiencies at best, and wrecks at worst.

        When vehicle-to-vehicle communication improves, and gets standardized, it will be interesting to see “AV road trains” of them going almost bumper to bumper, speeding up and slowing down all at the same time.
