I can see something like they have in I Robot where you have certain dedicated thoroughfares where the car "locks" itself onto a sort of track and you can enter/exit at certain points.

Technology is moving very fast and Google already has a car that's done over 100000 miles. It's coming and it's coming faster than most people think.

It'd be a cool option though, and I'm all for advances in technology, but not in this case.

I love to drive to but there are so many benefits to a self driving car. Think about a car that knows the light coming up is red. The car can slow itself down so by the time it gets to the light it will be green and it will also get rid of drinking and driving, speeding, and a whole bunch of other problems.
