I suspect the most dangerous time in the future will be in transition with some driverless and some human driver cars on the road. Can you imagine, one set of vehicles following the rules of the road and others not?

A couple of other things to imagine...no longer will space be taken up with car parks. The need for multilane highways will be reduced. Will we need safety systems in the vehicles when they are all autonomous and programmed not to crash? This technology has the potential to radically alter civilization as we know it.

A related question...how many vehicles does the world really need? What do we do with the factories and people that used to make all of this cars and then drive them around?
