A very interesting a16z podcast (Venture Capital firm from Silicon Valley)

The whole podcast covers a range of topics but in the last 90 seconds of the podcast the topic turns to whether his 2 year old or 6 year old will ever drive. The opinion is maybe for the 6 year old and no for the 2 year old...

What is interesting is the reasoning...parents would not want their kids to have to drive. Given the risk of accidents for young people with piss-poor assessment of physical risk it makes sense that parents would much prefer to have a taas or autonomous vehicle that will ensure that their kids will get to and fro as safely as possible.
