Spot the difference.
Can you spot the difference between these two pictures
you'll need to look closely as it's only slight 
Google in it's never ending quest for world domination has decided we need self driving electric cars, firstly why would we want a car that drives itself
bearing in mind this is from Google, never known to have flaws in it's software 
so I can't see it being safer, mind if going slowly makes it safer then maybe, the Google car is one of the few stopped by the police for going too slowly 
as Google picture search can't tell the difference between a man & a woman half the time I can't see it being able to spot a child kicking a ball out between parked cars, let alone expect it to run into the road to retrieve it personally I wouldn't want a car that selects a route to take in all the shops that advertise on Google, there'll be traffic jams outside them so plenty of time to window shop 
Secondly, coming back to the pictures, as President Barack Obama's plans to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide from US power plants have been stalled by the US Supreme Court today, are electric cars the way forward
in some states in the USA coal fired power stations make up 95% of production, meaning the Google car is just like the smokey old steam engine in the picture, just that the chimney is in a different place 
surely if Google wants to produce something useful looking at clean energy should be the first step

My goodness z, also agree with you, first priority clean energy is a must or that will bring our world as we know it down faster then all wars.
On the pollution aspect, yes until they can make electricity cleanly, for me making more things reliant on it is a non-runner
I think even though it is very futuristic, I will want to have people actually are in the wheels. But for the people who can't get their license renewed due to age and being a hazard, this will work.
If you are not driving you dont need it
That is SOOO twentieth century!
You gotta start thinkin' 'Jetsons', Dude...
YouTube passenger carrying drone
Yes! Really!
Now seriously speaking I have to find out if it would be coal or crude oil we will run out of first. Will ask Google later.
The drone is made in China, Z.
They have plenty of...
Gotta admit...That'd be one very cool ride!!
Except for the potential crash thing.
Here ya go!!

Cool thing about the drones...
You don't drive it, so it's being envisioned as a taxi service.
Hop in.
Connect to your smart phone.
Enter where you want to go.
The fare is charged to your Drone Taxi account.
The drone is ready to pick up its next fare at the new location.
VOILA!
Ain't technology cool?
I still would not get into controlled car never ever
