Google's Plan to Eliminate Human Driving in 5 Years

"What’s important here is Google’s commitment to its all-or-nothing approach, which contrasts with the steady-as-she-goes approach favored by automakers ... One of the trickiest ... challenges facing automakers is how to handle the transition between computers and humans, particularly in an emergency. ... Audi’s testing has shown it takes an average of 3 to 7 seconds, and as long as 10, for a driver to snap to attention and take control... Google wants nothing to do with that interaction. It believes computers can drive better than humans do, and it’s working full speed to hand over the controls completely, and as soon as possible... This tech will just appear one day... like Venus rolling in on a scallop shell, fully formed and beautiful." - Google's Plan to Eliminate Human Driving in 5 Years | WIRED
