Brian, until ALL cars and vehicles (including legacy vehicles)are equipped with identical software there is no way that a software controlled transport system is feasible. The human element is too unpredictable and careless, and having only a portion of vehicles so equipped seems likely to make the situation more dangerous. Can you imagine the cost to manufacture and purchase a fully automated automobile/truck. The complexity and inate technical difficulties boggles the mind....maybe in 30+ years it will prove more feasible...but then again will all those illegal aliens with licenses be equally equipped? The potential problems and costs are immense. It would require a total social and transportation infrastructure overhaul.
