Most days my bike commute goes right by either monuments, museums, the white house, the capitol. Still gets me everytime! So crazy.

Yeah - we def need more movement towards this and not away, and I get that there's a lot of good stuff we can do before we get to full autonomous operation
However - going by the reactions of engineers working on this technology, I don't think it is as far along as either of us want right now.

I think we're still in too young a phase with autonomous vehicles. Theoretically, computers should be able to avoid pedestrians/cyclists much better than (very distractable) human drivers, but I don't know if the technology is fully there yet.
I for one, can't wait - my desire to live as a pedestrian/cyclist greatly outweighs my desire to drive a vehicle myself.

Yeah it's got a lame vibe. I prefer Dupont Market for some pretty solid sandwiches made to order
