There is a market. But I'm allowed to state my opposition to it. A lot of people assume it will all be better than human drivers. My faith in software isn't as strong, and lives are at stake.

Did anyone see the new commercial where the vehicle is constantly checking for wrecks two cars ahead? Or BMWs lights that autodim for upcoming traffic in both directions, but only dim the necessary lane?
