Volkswagen exec admits full self-driving cars 'may never happen'
This strikes me as weird:<p>&gt; &quot;This is one of the hardest problems we have. This is like we are going to Mars,&quot; Hitzinger said in a comment. &quot;Maybe it will never happen.&quot;<p>First of all, it seems obvious that we are going to go to Mars, eventually. Maybe not any time soon, but never?  Seriously?<p>But the bigger thing is that there is about 1000 times more economic benefit to self driving cars than of going to Mars, at least in the near term. To think we&#x27;d just give up on it seems absurd.
