In fact, the driverless car has broad implications for society, for the economy and for individual businesses. Just in the U.S., the car puts up for grab some $2 trillion a year in revenue and even more market cap. It creates business opportunities that dwarf Google’s current search-based business and unleashes existential challenges to market leaders across numerous industries, including car makers, auto insurers, energy companies and others that share in car-related revenue.

Nice car, nice idea, good luck in the PRIVATE INDUSTRY MARKET... no GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES!
I feel so safe.
Speeking as a member of "Blind Pilots Association". This is a step in the right direction. I read about this car while giving a speech at "The Blind Surgeons" meeting in DC.
The awesome thing about driverless cars is that they need GPS, and your location data will be known to the government all the time. No thanks!
Looks like in 20 years or so, I'm going to be a classic car nut. lol
