I spend a lot of time here on the west coast. I hear a lot of talk about self driving cars and communicate now and then with an electrical engineer working on the subject at Google. He won't say a word but, I get the impression that the cars are a ways off.
Have another friend working at Flir. Probably need their stuff to make the cars a reality. He also doesn't say much.
Pretty sure they will have a few cars in ten years. Then, they'll need buyers.
I wish them luck.
