There are many arguments, both for and against. In the end, I believe cities will be the most benefitted by this evolving technology. There are significant hurdles and obstacles, especially in a software that can process the millions of variables per second in an unexpected situation, but in the end, I believe that it can be done. My biggest concern is hackers and the weaponization of self driving vehicles. While I do see the amazing potential benefit, I see the terrible potential for targeted murders, mass chaos and damage and the over-reach of an increasingly Orwellian government. If there is an uninterruptible manual over-ride and a hack proof "internet" for the vehicle to vehicle communication, it would be more secure, however I don't think I will live to see the fielding of the fully mature technology. With the current state of affairs, it is hard to envision a Utopian technologic future. Somehow, it is far easier to envision a future that involves connecting more with the land, spreading out the populace and decentralizing from the cities. Energy independent homesteads and self sufficient farming. That dream doesn't work for most people, but that is the future Utopia that I envision for myself.
