In two months I'll be 79. At this point in my life, I don't drive at night anymore. My night vision isn't what it used to be. I stay off busy expressways as much as possible. My reaction time isn't what it used to be. I am responsible enough to give my keys up when the time comes. A self-driving car sounds more attractive than it did a couple of years ago. It sounds like the ticket to continued independence.

My Mom turns 82 this June and had to give up driving a few years ago due to her neuropathy in her feet (she can't feel the pedals anymore). I'd love to get her something like the CyberCab to give her some freedom back. This tech will help a whole lot of people! It'll probably be 10x safer than a human driver when you're ready to give up your keys.
I checked out the CyberCab. Should have all the kinks worked out in a couple of years (always are kinks). Scheduled to market for 30K. Not bad. Checked cold weather use. Not too bad if you leave it plugged in during coldest weather. All in all, probably a better alternative to Uber or kids. If I'm still alive :)
