Nah I wouldn't worry. At this stage to help driverless cars requires infrastructure spending on the NBN to allow communication. Fat chance with this neanderthalish lot.

(Gee it's good to be old sometimes; I leave these probs to the young people  Tongue Embarrassed)

Isn't that what we've all done?

Every time She Who Must Be Obeyed gets behind the wheel I feel that I'm in a driverless car. I just hold on and hope it knows where it's going.

I've been thinking for a while that driverless cars could be the go, except I am not sure of the technology and how it would work. But I am sure it will eventually come in. But probably not in the format you are thinking of.
I imagine it as keying in a destination and computers taking the car or transport pod along the roads, keeping it from crashing into other cars. I suppose there would have to be set tracks in the road-maybe not physical tracks but some sort of electronic tracks for it to follow.
Which would mean there could still be traffic jams, I guess, although you would be warned of them.

But what I would think could come in before that is driverless transport. Maybe mini rails alongside freeways, with small coaches, all automated or controlled from headquarters.

As far as work goes, things will sort themselves out somehow. Maybe over time there will be a lot more jobs in technology.
Automation is going to affect every area of life. I used to teach, but the days of the classroom teacher are numbered-or should I say, the days of the classroom as such.
Everything changes. I once read that after cars replaced horse & carts, the horse population fell by about 9/10s.
Driverless cars might be available within 10 years, as in ones that can do a lot of things automatically, but they won't be in the majority on the road, so another car will still be able to crash into them!
Truly automated roads are a lot further off than 10 years.
I once attended a lecture (in about 1993) where the lecturer stated that books would no longer be printed after 2000. they would no longer exist.

She's right about the technology, wrong about the timeline.
that is usually the case, I follow predictions as a kind of minor hobby.

So don't worry too much, we're right for more than 10 years.

Isn't it something like metalic magnetic strips they are putting in the side of the road for this?
I saw something about it somewhere.

Me thinks it would be a great idea, not to have people at the control, and let the cars do the driving, thus no more accidents, no more being fined for any traffic offence, and the cars won't have to be built with too much gizmos or steel or bumpers, steering columns, indicators, probably more economical, maybe the cars we are driving today, will be the recycled scrap metal used for the cars of the future eh? 
And the future gen can just relax and make phone calls, read their electronic ipad newspapers, or just have a snooze.

Now, here is something I had always wondered for the future, flying cars.
When it was the 1960's, me thought that by the futuristic 1980's we would have them!

In the silent movie era, I think the 1920's, they made a movie called "Metropolis" and it had some spot on future ideas that did come true (the telephone on the wall and seeing the other person talking to you)....but the one thing that didn't come true, was their flying cars, and they had flying Model T Fords at that!
