On: Google says self-driving car hits municipal bus in...

I think 10 years is just a bit optimistic. I think it'll take about 10 years from the time we have the software/hardware at a point where it is ready. I think that could be 5 years. I think it'll be another 15-20 years after that where the majority of cars on the road are self driving. Baring any crazy legislation, which I don't think would happen, in the US anyway.

I argued that it'd be 10 years when we'd start the discussion, and that it'd be 20 years from now before metros start to go driverless.

Yeah, I apologize, I meant to respond to the GP and accidentally responded to you. I don't want to clutter the thread with duplicate posts though, so I'll just leave it as is.
