Eisenhower never Prestiged....

With all the time that I have spent in the car lately, back and forth to Virginia, I want to know where those damn cars are that we were told would be here by now.  You know, the ones that drive themselves, like an autopilot?

They also have prototypes of automatic public transportation. I think Japan's systems run mostly autonomous. Just like with hydrogen powered cars the tech is here the problem is integrating in with the existing system. Iceland used very little gasolene. But they have a bunch of natural resources they can use. They use the steam from geysers to produce hydrogen for their cars.

The technology is already here, we just don't have the infrastructure yet. The real issue will be dealing with all the older cars that don't have the newest tech.

There are cars out there that have adaptive cruise control. Basicly, you can set the speed you want to go and if the front radar detects someone a few car lengths ahead of you it will automatically slow down and match their speed. Then when that car gets out the way, the car speeds back up to your preset value. I have driven a car with this feature and it made long trips a lot easier to manage. A lot of drivers who have this installed on their car don't use it because they prefer to drive on someone's ass instead a few car lengths behind them.

They actually do exist but not for consumers just yet. And when they do arrive, they'll be out of reach for average joe. So it's probably going to be another 10-15 years i would guess.
