    Your assumption is that cars will go autonomous everywhere. It won't in the same way fibre optic broadband hasn't. It will appear where it has the biggest benefit.

    Uber is a good example because those self employed drivers are taking a large cut of the income each journey earns. Uber can see that they make more money if they can pocket that themselves, which makes the investment worthwhile.

    I'm not ignoring infrastructure, I'm pointing out that autonomous vehicles do not need it. Your example of a country lane is a good example of this as there is no reason to beleive autonomous vehicles will be incapable of passing in the same way a normal car would. Two autonomous vehicles would be aware of the other cars presence and require less space to pass than most drivers so it really isn't the issue you are attempting to paint.

    The key problems facing autonomous vehicles today is the inability to anticipate what another car will do and adverse weather conditions that change the appearance of surroundings ( Snow is a complete killer at the moment ).

    I appreciate you taking ten minutes out of your day to get the spelling right for once. The sentence structure could do with some work.

    UBER charges its self employed drivers 20% of the fare. The drivers own and maintain there own vehicles. Where is the incentive for UBER to suddenly own and maintain these vehicles, which it will have to, If the driver no longer exists? It's likely that buying this technology would make the current 20% very attractive. The same argument could be used for delivery drivers.

    If vehicles can't go everywhere automously, then what you are arguing is semi-automated vehicles or driver aids?
    You claim they go where they get the biggest benefit, but use delivery drivers and taxis as the basis of your argument. These are the very vehicles that, in there working day, tend not to go to the same place twice!
    Perhaps we could just from a point A to a point B and walk the rest, just like a......erm bus or train.

    You are dismissing country lanes? How does an autonomous vehicle pick up signals from an approaching car, through twisting and turning, single lane country roads. Often, when you come up against another car you have to either pull into the nearest clearing or even reverse back to a clearing to allows cars to pass. I would love to see the algorithms for this scenario?

    Snow can cover the sensors and the systems can't function.

    The key issue remains the liabilities mate, it'll take a manufacturer with balls like melons to take a driverless car to market

    Robots to steal 15million of your jobs, says bank chief: Doom-laden Carney warns middle classes will be 'hollowed out' by new technology
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...es-hollowed-new-technology.html#ixzz4S3zpCzre

    "And it has even predicted that entire professions, such as accountancy, could be pushed to the brink of extinction as developments in computers make their roles redundant."

    Accountants encourage their clients to use online bookkeeping software now and are happy to just review the work done and advise. If anything, automation will enable accountants to concentrate on more high value work and charge even more.

    Looks wise yeah, she isn't unattractive, but there is still no way i would put my dick in a womans mouth who was blowing people in a queue.
    All kinds of horrific consequences could come of this.

    Aye, but it'll make the kind of accountant who prepares the books of taxi drivers, and low end punters, and say - works from home, maybe in a garage.....defunct.

    Good luck pitching for new high end clients tubby <laugh>
