LONG before the actual experts have predicted that they'll be here. Not only that but he thinks that they'll "replace" public/mass transit, and that they'll be a boon to both cyclist, but pedestrian safety.
About the only thing that I agree with him with regards to fully autonomous self-driving cars, is that we as cyclists and pedestrians shouldn't have to wear any sort of transponder so that they'll know where we are.
He is also very surprised that people are still talking about the failures from companies like Tesla and Uber instead of all of the successes.
