So many companies and countries are now pumping millions (billions?) into testing self-driving cars. I guess it won't be long until they come on to the market.
This got me thinking - would I actually buy one? After a few days of thought, I've decided I wouldn't. I enjoy driving (I get bored as a passenger) and for those occasions when I'm drunk or don't want to sit in traffic, there's always a taxi (perhaps self-driving?!) or the tube/train.
I'm also guessing that the onus will still ultimately lie with the driver, so you'll need to be as aware as you would were you just driving the car yourself.
So, imagining that a self-driving car would be a similar cost to buy and run as a normal car, would you actually buy one?
