Hey, I'm not disagreeing, I enjoy driving, but the time is nary upon us... already insurers are offering lower premiums to owners of cars that have these features fitted as standard, and as we submit to autonomous cars it's the details of the incidences of road-related deaths that will change is all.

Having been driving in Sydney for over a year now, autonomous cars seemingly can't come soon enough, as the way the vast majority of the cars are being "driven" here is shocking
