I would dearly like one of these. Imagine reading a good book while your car takes you where you want to go. Safer than driving yourself.

And, of course, as we age it means still being able to get around without having to get someone to drive us.

I saw one of these driving around Dallas a few weekends back. People were trying to pull up to it to stare into the vehicle--likely the cause a few of the accidents. My first question was why would Google put so much money into figuring out this tech? What is the end goal (is it just profit?) My next question was if Google began to manufacture these, who would buy them? We shall see.
