According to one recent study, "By 2030, within 10 years of regulatory approval of fully autonomous vehicles, 95% of all U.S. passenger miles will be served by transport-as-a-service (TaaS) providers who will own and operate fleets of autonomous electric vehicles providing passengers with higher levels of service, faster rides and vastly increased safety at a cost up to 10 times cheaper than today’s individually owned (IO) vehicles."
There's 5 levels of autonomous vehicles
How long do you think it will be before we get to these levels? What are some of your biggest concerns? Personally, I think we're still quite a ways away. I'll say another 20 years before we can get to level 4. My biggest concern, being a certified ethical hacker, is the security around it. Having the possibility for someone (or something) be able to control millions and millions of cars is a scary, scary thought.
What do you think?

These will only be as good as their programming...
Could help eliminate bad drivers but will have tons of issues one you called out is a major issue in every aspect of our lives... The more you put in the hands of technology the easier it is to access everything about you.
If cars drove themselves.... And someone could control them I think we see lots of high powered peoples cars suddenly driving off bridges lol.
Personally I would have to be disabled before I let the car drive me somewhere.
Put driverless cars are pointless unless the cars also can fuel themselves.
