Going to be a bit safer soon when a certain well known drink driver gets his ban.

The roads aren't a race. I think I'm right in thinking that 90% of road traffic incidents are a direct result of driver error.

For sure, heaps of work still to be done, but I think it will get there eventually, and that it will be a super thing.

I hope for the 'minds' in Iain M. Banks' Culture novels, mega AI's that run vast orbital world's, spaceships the size of cities and do their best to look after humanity like wayward children. I'm wary though. Michel Houellebecq's book 'The Possibility of an Island' is an interesting look at this, goes the opposite way, humanity gradually replaces itself via transference to machinery.

Be interesting to see the role of car insurance in automated cars. Who gets insured, Driver or car company and in terms of a crash between automated vehicles, who is to blame?

The owner of the car would have insurance for the car. I suspect the days of individuals owning a car that is so scarcely utilized are at an end and we'll move towards an Uber style model, but with no driver.
