Self-driving cars: The good, bad and unknown

The automobile is one of the most prominent and recognizable symbols of freedom, independence, and responsibility in the world. One major reason that turning sixteen in the United States is so highly anticipated is because it marks the age at which most kids become eligible to legally drive a car. Today's Millennials are no exception to this cultural phenomenon. Bloomberg recently reported that new data from J.D. Power & Associates found that Millennials now account for 27 percent of new car sales, up from 18 percent in 2010. They have surpassed Gen X to become the second-largest group of new car buyers after their boomer parents.
