GM Promises Semi-Autonomous Cars by 2015 and Render Drivers Obsolete by the End of the Decade

GM Promises Semi-Autonomous Cars by 2015 and Render Drivers Obsolete by the End of the Decade:

Carmakers are determined to put us, drivers, out of the equation of…actually driving their vehicles. Not forgetting Google's intensive lobbying, after VW and BMW, General Motors is the latest company to join the ranks of the autonomous vehicle pioneers.

Alan Taub, GM’s vice president of global Research and Development, says that by 2015 cars that will be partially able to drive themselves, while by the end of the decade, more sophisticated system will enable them to be fully autonomous.
