Robocars - Autonomous Drive, Self-driving, Driver-less cars

Its available now. LS460 owners boast on Lexus forums about snoozing at 80pm, with the radar cruise and lane guidance looking after the car.

Lexus drivers here generally think their car drives itself, going by what I see them doing at the wheel in traffic. Texting, eating, applying make-up, anything but paying attention to the task of driving. Stupid cunts that don't deserve a licence, basically.

People don't want trains though, they want cars. I prefer trains but they don't run on Sunday mornings when I need them so I have a car. Anyway, how sweet would it be if cars could drive themselves and I could treat the drive like a train trip and actually enjoy the scenery or a book or something?! Fantastic. Shit, I want one now.

Living up to your username quite spectacularly, there. People 'want' but are not prepared to do what's necessary to 'deserve'.
Do you honestly think the future of Autonomous cars is that people who can (just about) afford to run a car nowadays will later on be blessed with a personal vehicle that whisks them wherever they like whilst they sit there foffing off to a Miley Cyrus sex tape?
Or...
Do you think that the Government / DoT will happily prise the steering wheel out of your hands, kick you onto public transport and make the future of 'personal motoring' so expensive that only the rich can afford it?

Right now, I can buy and run a (used, probably quite old) car for a reasonable amount of money. That to me is quite a freedom.
I don't want to exchange that for a satellite-tracked, radar-guided, information-leaking JohnnyCab that will likely cost three times as much as a G-Wiz.
