Delivery of Pizza/Chinese and Taxi drivers have to start updating their resume.

Some state DMV's believe driverless cars will on the roads by the end of the decade and what the requirements will be.

I assume they will start with a body in the front seat, so actual delivery jobs may not be impacted as much as cabs, right away.

Cab's drivers should start talking up their passengers (especially political ones) with the idea of reducing SocSec age to 50 for your own benefit..

On my way home from work on I-75 North in Dayton Ohio. It was a black Rolls Royce with Georgia tags. Creepy! Especially since we were in a construction zone during evening traffic.

Also, if I get one of these cars, can I drink my ass off when I go out without having to worry about a designated driver?

Coming from a state that doesn't have a bullet train or legal weed, I doubt this will be happening here anytime soon, and they predict this in 6 years. Ain't gonna happen.
