Looking back, when we raced gleefully into the social media era, we probably should have given a little more thought to possible outcomes; like how it might impact our society, what it would mean for democracy, or why I would possibly care about seeing your vacation photos. Looking forward, we should probably be thinking long and hard about what it will mean to share the road with autonomous vehicles. But it turns out, we may not have that much time to think about it. “Right now, maybe 10,000 or 20,000 people have ever ridden in a self-driving car, in any context. Far fewer have been in a vehicle that is truly absent a driver. Up to a million people could have that experience every day in 2020.” Alexis Madrigal in The Atlantic: If Waymo’s timeline is correct, autonomous vehicles will transform urban life by 2020.
