I Can't wait for self driving cars. It'll be so fun to have all that extra time.

Same! I don't see the point in learning to drive with how close they are now.

If self driving cars turn evil, we will have to learn how to drive once more.
The war hasn't begun yet, but we must be ready.

It'll be a long time before you can be in the driver's seat without a license. If something goes wrong, you're considered responsible.

I thought they were already pushing for the cars to be recognised as drivers on their own

That requires changes to laws and those are always slow, at least on our side of the pond.

Yeah I know that but I thought that they're working on those laws right now. I know the UK government has just invested a large amount of money into driverless cars, I'd wager they'll want to push the laws through sooner rather than later if they can.

Also I'm not actually planning on not learning to drive because I'm waiting for driverless cars, I just have no reason to learn with being at Uni for the next 3 years and not being able to afford a car or insurance anyway. I think I'm gonna consider it in a couple of years and see if I think its worth it.
