There are obvious challenges to it. There have already been a couple of deaths and crashes because of self driving cars.

For most errands they can't get here soon enough for me. I can pretend I'm rich and am getting chauffeured around.

Are you kidding? I can hardly wait. I realize that it could be hacked, but if not, I would rather program my destination, then sit back and read a book. At my age, I don't want to be driving at night anyway.

well put this way when it comes i open for suggestion then yet a long way to worry about just want to enjoy my present journey

I will be especially careful on the road if I see one as I heard that they have a tendency to kill people...I will continue on my motorcycle.

Once they've reached the point where they no longer require a qualified driver behind the wheel to take control should doing so become necessary, they'll have a huge impact on my life as I've never learned to drive. Since it's likely that they'll dramatically reduce private car ownership, they'll ultimately have a huge and beneficial effect for the entire world too.

Will we have a choice really?

Can't afford a normal car so won't be seeing a self driving one for a long time

I for one welcome our computer overlords! I'm 64 and I am tired of driving on roads that are crammed with people who are over tired from working two jobs or stressed out. Yes it will change things, think of the carriage makers when cars came out. Many changes will need to happen before we see driverless cars. For one and the biggest is income, we need to equalize the income so that we, as a society can move forward and not have a mulri level society.

Would be a gift if I lived long enough to see it. I have issues with my hands and have virtually stopped driving.

i think i will stay home. not sure what i will do when flying cars show up

As a delivery driver this speaks to me personally. A machine is going to take over my job. Finally all that free time and luxury! ... or I'll be homeless. ?

As I am legally blind, and have not driven a car since i was 29, an dam no 55, I think it would be great to be able to be readily mobile again.

I had read that they were not planning to require a driver's license to operate one, but with that pedestrain fatality a few weeks ago, they may decide to require one after all... even though it was the pedestrain's fault and the "safety driver" in the test car said even if he were at the wheel there would have been no wy to avoid it.

So, driverless cars have th potential to change mylife drastically for the better. It is just a question of will they allow it.

For most people it will simplify things once they are truly autonomous. They will be devastating for jobs in the transportation industry.
I love driving my stick shift but I will embrace the technology anyway.
