Motorway driving is already massively dull, so a car that keeps in lane, overtakes etc for you will make it even more tedious. When it gets so tedious that you want it to be fully autonomous, I think that will be the tipping point.
This is how I see it. I hate driving: it's dull, irritating and gives me back ache. Driverless cars sound amazing to me- taking a lot of the danger and all of the general rudeness out of a car journey can only be a good thing. It's an interesting point about where the cyclists fit in though- theres a chance that society might end up needing to make a decision between the two, which would be sad.
Cheers HH - theres a bit today on DC Rainmakers blog from MWC about Fords autonomous tech.
need to read down this link a bit

It's bound to happen, but it's going to be the end of my soul. I will resist self-driving cars as long as it's humanly possible, purely because I love driving. I don't even mind being stuck in traffic.
As for start-stop because of P-takers - possibly, but with any luck they'll not be that sensitive and p-takers will have to know to get the hell out of the way as with trams.
