"Cars already decide when to change gear for you"
None of mine do. Nor will any of them, ever. Too much to go wrong.
One wonders how, exactly, these obvious non-driver executives are planning to get rid of actual drivers and real cars. There are many of us, and we are legally allowed to drive on public roads here in the USofA, and I suspect we always will be.
One also wonders what will happen the first time a self-driving car kills somebody ... it's only a matter of time, after all.
