That for sure will the first strong market for an auto-automobile. When I am no long able to drive myself it will be great to get in my car and say take me to to doctors office or the store.
I can see it being VERY popular with the average new driver. The get in and can keep texting and update Facebook and drive through big city traffic with no problems.
The big issue will be hackers. Right now we can't keep the hackers out of sensitive computers. What will happen when they hack a few million cars in LA?
