Have no fear young Okian Warrior, despite what the news grabbing headlines is feeding you self-driving vehicles are still decades away from replacing anyone's jobs. What you are seeing is very much still in its infancy.
"And we're so close to making them happen". No, we're not. Stop believing the hype, we're literally still in the infancy of self driving, the problems that still need to be addressed are numerous and not easy.
"What NASA could teach Tesla about the limits of autopilot" is a great read. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/time-seem-fly-faster-age/
Thats exactly the point however. It's not that the machine is safe, its that the machine has to deal with humans that are unsafe. Thats the problem you don't see in the news with driverless cars.

No ridiculous subsidies for fossil fuels then as well right? How do you think that would affect your gas price?
Wrong. Name a car company without an electric plan. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Ford? Going electric. Audi? Yep. Porsche? Yes. Nissan, Volvo, Chevy, Hyundai, Aston Martin, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz? Yes.
2016 update on Google Self driving cars. A much watch video if you are interested in this stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj-rK8V-rik
That's pawsitively correct!
It's not purrfect is it?
I bet the guy with this head lopped off is pretty mad he broke the rules.
It said it 'included' powdered cheese and canned tuna. It could of also had literally anything else.
Which is why pretty much every vacuum on the planet can turn the brush spin off.
I'm sure they will lower the price of the pizzas since they will be saving money, right?
Will it fly in the rain? Snow? What about winds? Can I order one before a storm is about to hit?
So in about 15-25 years?
Was the guy who got his head sheared off a skeptic?

6-8 years battery replacement? Why would you replace a perfectly working battery with well over 80% of its charge left?
Do you completely separate your personal email from the work-related email? Yes, I do. 2 accounts. One work, one personal. It's not hard.
Why smoke and mirrors? Care to explain...

Best post yet. +1
So all the cars on the road today and being sold today will just... what... vanish? Switch your 10 years to 60 and I might agree with out.
I love how it goes from some functions are automated all the way to full automation in one level. Just flip the switch! Good luck with that.
Autowash.
I know. They can rent out jetpacks to launch up to the helipads! It's about as likely of an idea as stupid flying taxis is.
If they have made this battery you know. Does it or doesn't it?
Have current taxis taken them off the road? No, and neither will this.
