#2I'm optimistic. I agree with Musks estimates. At most I see first fully autonomous vehicles being on the roads within 5 years.
Yes, they may only work in places with clearly marked streets but if I could use my autonomous car for daily commute or roughly 50% of the time it's still an incredible achievement and well worth the cost.

#5Although this site doesn't really offer any substance, I'm glad that Google is making this project more public. Not only it nice to have updates on the project (I do hope they continue to update this site with their progress) but I think PR campaigns like this will go a long way to swaying popular opinion on self driving technology. The faster they can get the public on their side, the fewer regulatory hurdles they will face.

#6At least they could have given a more up to date report on what they are doing. 7 years passed since 2009 and all we've seen is a couple of promo videos with scant actual information. We have no idea how they compare to Tesla or other self driving car startups.

I live in a small enough city where I need to drive for some things but I can walk to work. If an autonomous car could help with little things like shopping for groceries or driving to get a haircut, then my last mile problem would be effectively solved.
I think that there are a lot of little steps towards 100% autonomy that will still provide tremendous value to people, even if the product is far from perfect.
