Re: Self driving cars/trucks in future?
I think the most interesting issue is who will own the data. To maximally exploit the potential efficiency gains of self-driving cars, they're going to have to be networked. Records of every trip made by every "driver" would be extremely valuable, and a serious privacy issue.
