Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 4656913, member: 173"] We’re not building power plants at a rate to support a transition from gas to electric cars. Plus self-driving vehicles will likely be significantly more expensive than manually driven cars. If by “tough on everyone”, you mean impossible to afford the transition and we’ll be a massively less mobile society as a result - I agree. Having said that, I had a business school professor at UAlbany 20 years ago who predicted the US would collapse around 2033 (and would end up looking a lot like Yugoslavia around 1991 as a result); he was right on a bunch of other predictions and things are currently looking up for that one as well. If he proves to be right, then while the next ten years will be tough on everyone - what comes after will be an incomprehensible level of difficulty. Self-driving car safety won’t be a high level concern. [/QUOTE]
