Driverless or autonomous cars will only become more common and Manhattan won't be an exception. Privacy rights are what I consider the main issue more than safety. Robotic cars will literally be roving video cameras collecting information, but that's the world of the future.


I believe that driverless cars will have a brief existence. There are just too many variable for accidents to not eventually happen. the lawsuits from one accident resulting in death that is caused by a bug in the automation system will bankrupt the manufacturer.

I've been involved in mine automation projects where the haul vehicles, loaders and shovels are all automated. They still have accidents. The difference is that there aren't any live bodies in the vehicles when they happen.

If the travel corridor is more controlled (rail or sensor controlled roadway, automated vehicles make a lot more sense.
