Robotic Drivers by 2030

Have a long commute to work that you'd rather spend in bed? Well, you only have about 23 more years to wait:

Scientists are developing the next generation of robot-driven cars and predict they could be shuttling humans around by the year 2030, a conference was told.



The first wave of intelligent robot cars, capable of understanding and reacting to the world around them, will be tested this November in a competition run by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

This means a lot. Besides putting truckers, postmen, bus drivers, etc. out of work, this technology could mean a lot to weary commuters, even our military. I just hope there won't be heavy handed restrictions on us humans considering road rage may get a whole lot more complicated.
