The idea of self-driving cars may seem like a far-off dream but, as I’ve written about before, the advances in robotic cars have been amazing. Perhaps somewhat counter-intuitively, I don’t think self-driving cars will simply be a matter of robotic technology “pushing” the technology to market. Instead, as customers continue to use their cellphones to do more things (call, text, email, Twitter, watch videos, etc.) they will not want to be burdened with the hassle of driving and will thus “demand” self-driving vehicles.

If you agree or disagree, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
