But...there would be no more helpful excavator drivers to give to a handy 'nudge' when you need one either :-/

I'd like to see this in a near future. I've had the chance to try a tesla, it was ok since it wasn't in traffic, but then I was more afraid of the other drivers than the computer.
Anyway i'm not sure i'll give it a go for now, I'd prefer some safety assistance like emergency brake or collision avoidance, it looks more reliable for now regarding the percentage of human driver cars.

Can it anticipate and adjust to every situation? Can it learn? I mean, the intentions are great, but I'm worried if things happen, insurance claims etc. But I also see the economical and ecological benefits.

I guess it's the same argument as to we will stop breading horses because we have cars.
Sure, those self-driving cars will become more and more popular, but to completely exchange driver-driven cars?
Arguments given in this video are bogus, stretched and more on the lines of wishful thinking that actual facts. Speculations at best.

I passed my driving test in 1975. Back then people used to go out 'for a drive' just for the pleasure of driving. Traffic volume was much lower. There were no speed bumps; there were no speed cameras, there were no traffic calming chicanes. Parking was easy, plentiful and cheap if not free. Wheel clamping didn't exist, town centre CCTV didn't exist, bus lanes didn't exist.
In short, it was actually enjoyable to take your car out for a drive, my car was a 1967 MkII Spitfire. and it was great fun to drive.
Today, the driving experience is shit. I'm pleased to have lived in the days when it wasn't, but those days are long gone. Bring on the driverless car. Why not?

Cant wait for automated HGVs and trucks - get rid of the HGV driver who insists on overtaking a restricted lorry on a 3 lane motorway with his restricted truck, turning the whole road into a single lane road for miles and miles!
