My wife wishes this would happen now.

In a world where driving a car is illegal...

...Fast and Furious LXXXVII will be very, very boring. Also, Vin Diesel will have legally changed his name to Vin Lithium-Ion.

I have some crow to eat in this thread.

Seems to me like the driving force behind this initiative is the World Economic Forum. Today they are calling for the end of private car ownership and their agenda is supposed to be realized by 2030:

"You will own nothing and you will be happy."

Could have sworn I have read of several accidents Google cars have been in, but oh well.

Absolutely correct and in every case the driver of the other car was a human and was at fault.

The expression "but oh well" means what exactly ?

It means another human (two human drivers) may have been able to avoid it but the Google car didn't have that intuitive human intuition.

Restricting travel even a little bit or making it a pre-planned route for charging stations ect regardless is a restriction on ones freedom and it will be until we are drawing zero point energy from the aether or whatever so one can just jump in their car and go... like petrol provides
