Autonomous cars &a your thoughts?

[FPV0002]

Evening all, been a lot of buzz surrounding autonomous/self driving cars these last few weeks and their arrival in the not too distant future. I have heard some 'futurist' describing a scenario in which we will no longer need to own a vehicle one day and we will simply command one to come when we need it, take us to our destination and then bugger off and pick someone else up. I would like to hear other car enthusiasts thoughts on the self driving car and what the motring landscape will look like once they are mainstream. I personally love driving and with the exception of the odd slow boring commute in traffic to work would prefer to steer myself. Getting your pride and joy out on a nice day and taking it for a cruise is one of life's pleasures that I always look forward to. I cannot imagine there would be a love for an autonomous vehicle as it would simply be an appliance? I am also a tradesman so in need a vehicle everywhere I go to carry all my gear. What are everyone's thoughts?
