One hurdle that autonomous cars will have is that even if they have a track record much better than human drivers, they will make mistakes that are not normal human mistakes. One robot car that does something that seems extremely stupid to a human is much more newsworthy than a hundred humans texting while driving.

I like that I can cut them off with impunity.
Because they know where I am and what I'm doing they will avoid me, whereas human drivers might not even know what planet they are on.

Sorry, Bruce, I am still the fuck inna here.
When your selfie auto can take you to the doctor while you comfortably recline in the back seat, it might be nice. If it took you to the right doctor, of course, and parked in a legal spot. On to the store, reconizing your voice command and going to the right one. I think your best bet will be the "anywhere" one, which is where you will likely end up. |

Google has been using modified cars from manufacturers to work the bugs out of their system for several years. In May they revealed their own car, designed from the ground up with everything needed, integrated into the build. It looks like it was intended for an urban environment.
It's also what many shameless people would call "cute".

they look like British police cars. Not what they actually look like but just like something that would belong with a bobby in a cartoon world.
