G-Man
Cleared for Takeoff
Massive thread hijack alert, but:
Autonomous cars should be readily available within, say, ten years, so 2031. But last I read, the 'average age of a car on the road' is now eleven years. This means it might be 20 years after 2031, or 2051, for natural attrition to get the 'new autonomous cars' above 85% on the road.
Human-driven and autonomous cars won't mesh well, to say the least.
Do you foresee something ten times the size of Cash For Clunkers to get 'older' human-driven cars off the roads to pave the way for autonomous vehicles? Who funds this?
