When 'Driver' Goes the Way of 'Computer'

Google’s prototype self-driving cars. A few things wrong with this:

  <ul>        <li>Why only two-seaters?</li>      <li>I would prefer a normal car that could self-drive when needed.</li>         <li>Given Google’s <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/05/21/google-predicts-ads-in-odd-spots-like-thermostats/">stated intentions</a> to put ads on new things like “refrigerators, car dashboards, thermostats, glasses, and watches”, this thing will eventually evolve into a roving billboard, with ads inside and outside.</li>         <li>People are always looking for new tech that will ‘disrupt’ the auto industry. Will it be car sharing? Electric cars? Self-driving cars? What about: human feet.</li>    </ul>
