Comments on Calling Google's RoboTaxi
'The taxi utilized sophisticated electronic sensors to perceive its surroundings...'- Allan Dean Foster, 2006. (Read

Especially the outdoorsy types.(I have the feeling a lot of folks here are biased by virtue of being tech geeks) We wouldn't want the vehicle driving for us anymore than we'd want someone to feed us our meals so Zetsche's approach isn't all that unreasonable.
