Re: aftermarket autonomy...
I'm not that worried about the durability of the sensors.. as much as the safety of the AI for level 4 autonomous driving software. Will it prioritize my safety in the car over pedestrians? :P

Re: aftermarket autonomy...
@mhhf1ve  interesting point, my question would be how long sensors will last and how easy to replace them...

aftermarket autonomy...
The real market test will be when aftermarket "autonomous sensors & software" become a mainstream product. There's already an open source project that is working on a Honda Civic retrofit -- that'll turn a cheap reliable car into a driverless car for a few thousand bucks (if it works). 

If level 4+ cars can avoid 99.9+% of road accidents, cars might even be able to do away with airbags and other safety features that wouldn't get used very often... And the auto insurance industry might get incredibly profitable.. until it suddenly becomes completely obsolete.

obligatory Henry Ford quote...
"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."

This is an interesting survey, but people often don't really know what they want. If full autonomy was as good or better than a human driver, I think people would change their minds immediately and say they'd get a level 4+ autonomous car. 

There will be some adoption curve and gradual improvement to autonomous features, but I think at some point, it won't matter what age bracket you belong to -- you'll want a driverless car for day-to-day transportation because it'll be cheaper and more convenient to get picked up by a robot car, instead of having a car sitting in your garage unused 50-80% of the time.

Re: No surprises
There is for sure a mental barrier that many of us need to go through when it comes to vehicle autonomy. 

Driving is still something that older generations want to experience, whereas millenials are over it. That's the chasm I see.

More Car Features
They are always coming up with new inventions for cars so this is no different but hopefully it will make things easier, safer, and convenient for the person driving.

No surprises
I can't say I'm surprised by this finding:

"baby boomer and Generation X survey respondents were less stoked about full autonomy"

I am a member of one of these age groups and tend to agree. I am less stoked about full autonomy.
