I admit, I have been silently cheering the progress of autonomous (self-driving) cars for some time. I have a son, who's almost 13. Who hasn't had some trepidation at the idea of their offspring behind the wheel? The idea of him not actually driving, and being safer, is definitely appealing.
But, self-driving cars aren't quite here, yet. There are some on the roads now, but there are still kinks to be worked out...and some of those are issues are human issues.
