Self-driving cars may turn out to be as popular as Google Glass.
Remember those?

They haven't programmed in "California stops". That's why they get

Actually I haven't seen any of Google's test cars around here except
possibly the fleet of similar cars in the lot where I parked at Google
back in February. But those looked more like a fleet vehicle they
might use if they needed to drive out to a meeting in the area. But
they were Spark cars.
We were sold the idea of driverless cars back in the 1950s but we were
supposed to have them by the 1980s. I even heard they put cables in
the Interstate highways for that purpose. Driverless cars might be
more appealing for long distance travel so you could kick back, watch
a movie, play games or take videos of the scenery. But then take over
again once at the destination. To some extent impractical since a
better solution would be cheaper and faster rail transportation but we
pretty much killed the railroads and who wants to fly with the gestapo
at the airports?

The gearheads in D! etroit, Tokyo and Stuttgart have mostly
figured out how to build driverless vehicles. Even the Google guys
seem to have solved the riddle.
