[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 469634, member: 562"] I might be in the minority, but Im pretty excited about having fully self driving vehicles that I can just sleep in while road tripping to destinations around the country. Would make travel so much easier to be able to leave at 10pm and wake up in any city you want within an 8 to 10 hour range the following morning. How fun would it be to bounce around the country checking out new places if you never have to actually drive yourself between destinations? Also have you heard of platooning vehicles? I dont like the term, I prefer caravanning, but essentially self driving vehicles could travel in strings that draft each other, maintaining communication between the cars, at very close distances to cut back significantly on wind resistance, making travel much more efficient. Also if you are sleeping, speed doesnt matter nearly as much so your car could travel at 50mph instead of 80, energy savings could be around 30% just from driving slower. [/QUOTE]
