If you think self driving cars are cool, wait until two years from now when you're stuck behind them in your morning commute every day, while they drive 15 miles under the speed limit.

15 mph under the speed limit during SF morning commute is ~30 mph faster than today, so that'll be awesome.

But the speed limit in almost all of SF is 25?

Not on freeways

I look forward to the day when there are only careful, fully aware, sober, non-facebooking drivers on my morning commute.

I can't wait to ride my fixie 5mph in front of them :)

They will run you over because you were classified by the AI as fog.

Pretty tough to get stuck behind a car for very long while on a bike, so I'm not too worried.

That may be a downside, but consider the upside -- you wont need to drive the car so much of it can be productive time: sleep, read, code,...
