I need to see manufacturers have them all on track. Each team races two full-time AutonoMobiles and two full-time human piloted vehicles. Im a firm believer in race-based honing. If all these systems can handle interacting with human and different autopiloted systems at high speeds, while holding onto an objective of creating the fastest lap, then I will feel more comfortable about them on roads.
My biggest worry is that we know automakers feel the need to do something different with their technology and I think this is a case similar to seatbelts, we need a standard between all vehicles with very little customization but allows room for differentiation and growth. Everything I’m seeing now is just fancy cruise control, a bunch of systems that can’t be given a destination objective to complete while keeping their Asimovian Laws, nor interacts with other vwhiles on the road. Humans interact with other drivers, these cars only focus on avoiding them and that creates driving unfamiliarities which is my biggest worry. Have you ever driven around 1030am when the roads are clear but most of the cars are piloted by the elderly? Scariest and most frustrating time to be out driving!

I’ve talked with non-car people about the future of autonomous cars and the expectations regarding timeline of the technology’s availability.
Basically, it boils down to everyone having a different definition of “autonomous.”
Smart cruise controls are the first step into autonomy and those systems are right around the corner of being a standard feature on luxury cars. On the other end of the autonomous spectrum, being able to be drunk, type in an address and pass out, then have the car safely take you to your destination, and then park itself somewhere for you to wake up in the morning is a LONG way off.
In my experience, the later is more common “autonomous” capability people are expecting, which, to their disappointment, I believe is decades and decades away.
