Philosophy Wire: Cars without drivers, life without humans

12EA409E5B380885A41C37D6EAF6DCB0Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2012-05-08]: Driverless cars will soon be a reality on the roads of Nevada after the state approved America's first self-driven vehicle licence. The first to hit the highway will be a Toyota Prius modified by search firm Google, which is leading the way in driverless car technology [source: BBC News]. It will not be long until we have robots living life instead of humans. What would you think of an automaton which will eat, drink and dance instead of you?
