At the Consumer Electronics Show one of the highlights was the driverless technology that is ready to deploy. Several car companies have approached Congress to start working on new laws for this technology. Lighter cars, no accidents and potentially no more tickets. RV's and Trucks well not need a driver. Tesla is ready to deploy their technology in 2015.RV'ers well be able to continue traveling even into their older ages and kids will not have to decided when to take the keys away. Of course does this mean 10 year old's well be able to take the car to the store?

Driverless cars are still 8 to 10 years away. The tech may be there (sort of) but the insurance industry (among other things) is not ready yet.

I am not sure I would be ready for a driver less vehicle.I make a terrible passenger and then to sit and let a computer drive my vehicle.Hmmmmm????

I work in Information Technology. Even if it becomes "reality" better keep your insurance paid up. The technology will depend upon computers and as long as I've worked in IT, I've NEVER seen ANY program that worked 100% flawless! If the government has any part creating the software that will "drive" this "engine", it will be more like 20 years before it becomes reality. I certainly would not want to be one of the first to put to take a nap in my RV when the "robot" is driving! If computer systems can "crash", just think what kind of a "crash" will happen when someone trips over the electric cord plugged into the national server that's "driving" this whole mess! Oh yes, the pun on words is intentional! I think it's a scary endeavor!

Only words that came to mind - SCARY! SCARY! SCARY!
