Soooo many fewer accidents and fatalities from distracted driving, drunk driving, etc. I have a lot of hope for automated cars. As for job loss, it's all a part of progress. When cars came around, they complained about job loss of wagon wheel makers. The jobs aren't lost, per se, they are just changed into different jobs with different skill sets.

The automation of driving sets up an industry battle that is coming between Google, Uber, Lyft vs. All Big Auto companies and the networks we use to control them AT&amp;T, Verizon, etc.<br /><br />GM, Toyota, Ford, Kia will not just allow automation to someone else&#39;s standard. It will be a slugfest to see who gets to establish the standards. The lobbying alone will take 30 years.

Does anyone dare drive that with a semi- next to you? LOL&gt; And they make the roads more dangerous because first of all, trucks cannot see them. And I am pretty sure your groceries won't fit into them. lol<br /><br />I call B.S.!

It's inevitable. As technology changes, the needs for redundant technology and it's accompanying workers diminish. With new technology comes new jobs. We adapt, or we fade away.
