Automatic Cars Or Distracted Drivers: We Need Automation Sooner, Not Later argues professor Don Norman. Technology is moving that way. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
In 2005 Stanford's "Stanley" a driverless VW SUV won the DARPA award for negotiating a grueling 132 mile off-road race in the California/Devada desert.
By 2010 Google had several driverless Prius cars plowing streets in California practically accident free.
In 2015 the Google car is unveiled with no steering wheel and a top speed of 25 mph.
When will the ability of driverless vehicles meet and exceed the ability of drivers? Driver distraction and age effects are helping technology by raising risk which is better controlled in driverless cars.
