I don't know why people get bummed about self driving cars. I for one will embrace that.

I was recently (as in yesterday) driving through Toronto on the 401. It happened to be raining. For some reason, I couldn't go faster than 95, and every time the rain went a bit harder, I'd have to slow down. People are not good at driving on the highway. You can tell this by use of brakes, hogging the left lane, cutting across three lanes of traffic because you didn't plan ahead and get over for your exit ahead of time, not leaving adequate space for the vehicle in front of you, etc.

I can't wait for the day that I can hop in my car and have it drive me wherever I need to get at it's top speed for the whole trip while networking with the cars around it to make the most efficient use of the road. Travelling will take no time at all, plus I can sleep, watch YouTube or do whatever the fuck else I feel like doing while I get driven around.
