Self driving cars? Whats the point?

from my point of view, self driving cars are going to be here soon. Im worried the "law" will outlaw any car that is not self driving!
I don't think so, not for many years anyway. It would take a while to get everyone "converted over" to a self driving car. What they need to do is test it in the form of public transportation for a few years. A self driving bus, or taxi service. See what it does in crowded city traffic before pushing onto the masses. The closest thing I have ever experienced was the self driving train at Atlanta airport, its pretty neat, but its on rails. I remember being freaked out for a second when you think that there is no one behind the wheel.
