Good one archfan! But unlike jetpacks, driverless cars aren't far down the horizon. My friend from Pittsburgh tells me so. I have no idea what impact they'll make but I doubt it will be small. It's fun to think about in any case.
And it seems right on topic for this thread, which began by considering Google's new self-driving technology development center in Novi. It's an open question whether Detroit will remain the automotive capital in the driverless era too.
I really hope we get this right. It's a real opportunity. What becomes of it will of course depend on economics, and complications like insurance, legal, and regulatory considerations. It's easy to imagine how those could limit the opportunity by all manner of mistakes. But let's be optimistic. It's far from too late.
