i was listening to a radio interview with some car guru and interestingly they asked him re automated cars and how soon.
His reply was alot of the hype re automation in cars is still some 20 years off as the current technology really is not up to it yet realiability and safety wise.
He went on to say how current manufacturers are all trying to out do each other with gadgets in their cars which has left some generations unable to operate these cars, citing a car he had to start for a friend and couldnt figure out how to start it.After trying a number of things he realised he had to plug the whole key casing into the dash then press the start button.
A totally pointless way to start a car.
As he said, it appear there is now no uniform set of standards for cars anymore.
Also cited alot of younger people cant afford to buy a car due to limited incomes so there answer is to use public transport and live within public bus routes.
