Autonomous Vehicles discreetly log 140000 miles, compliments of Google
Finally, I can devote all my time to texting.

So if you're traveling on a wintry Interstate, catching up on a Rockford files rerun on Hulu, and a little undetected black ice is present under the tires, what happens? Does the car still try to maintain 65 MPH as it enters a curve?

That is a huge consideration, though. If people become to reliant on this technology, use it when they shouldn't, and someone gets killed, whose fault is it? I can't imagine the liability an autodrive system would put on an automaker that builds them.
