The conspiracy keeping self-driving cars off our streets

They were meant to be here by now. We’ve all heard the self-driving scenario where the autonomous car drops mum and dad at work, swings back to get the kids for school and then parks up while it waits for the afternoon summons. No more stress for us driving in peak-hour traffic, no crashes triggering human tragedy, no fighting for parking at crowded destinations. Your own private shuttle of serenity. They were meant to be in our driveways by now.
