Default Heaven forbid

G'day all...Autonomous Cars...Driving back to work from my lunch break this arvo I was listening to some interviewed "tech geek " on ABC Local radio .He was adamant that by 2030 ...less than a decade and a half from now we'll be hard pressed to find anything but pretty much driver less autonomous cars on our roads..This twenty something , thirty year old at a pinch geek reckons that the technology is advancing so fast that this is almost a certainty...Is this crazy or what ?.Recent Tesla autonomy testing is one thing given the recent incident causing a ruckus but what's the world coming to if this was even a remote possibility..Mining companies like Rio Tinto are going in this direction with their ore carrying locomotives/trains and remotely operated switcher locos are used already in some rail facilities but this is totally different circumstances to road going cars..Hypothetical it may currently be by people like this fella on radio but just imagine if it was to take place in part or as he clearly thinks..what would it really be like over time..Ponder this if you will..Cheers Rod..
