Yeah I think self driving cars are inevitable but here's the thing this is a point out to me by Rodney Brooks, one of the first guys to make commercial robots he made the room. He says it will take a lot of investment over time to accommodate them. We're not just sort of swapping those cars out and expecting it to work. There's more involved in just replacing the cars we have to replace the entire transportation system.
