Last year, I went to a AI / labor roundtable discussion event at the university where I work. One of the folks attending was a state congressman or something like that, and the topic of autonomous vehicles came up. He said his goal was to ensure that there would NEVER be fully autonomous vehicles in Indiana. I got the impression that the rest of the room agreed.

I was pretty baffled by this, but figured that attitude should be expected at a "labor" event, so I brought the topic up with my IT colleagues, and many agreed that they would never trust a driverless car.

I agree that we will eventually get there, but I think major regulatory setbacks should be expected, and a 5-year timeline is pretty optimistic.
