Several self-driving cars have been demonstrated over recent years but will autonomous vehicles ever make it out of prototype and into our everyday lives?

Very interesting.. I don't see that road train as totally Autonomous

I think it will happen in maybe 10 years but i for one would find it very disconcerting

I would love it.

Stubby on the way, drive me home, I'm drunk.

Tired from work? Have a nap, or perhaps a beer? Catch up on some sports etc on the TV.

Excellent

This reminds me of automation that is entering aviation.

The aircraft of the future will only have two crew, the pilot and a dog.

The pilot is there to feed the dog. The dog is there to make sure the pilot doesn't touch anything!!

Many of the large vehicles on mine sites now are fully automated with no driver.
