The Next (Newt) Automotive Revolution?

How mainstream is the idea of a driverless car culture?  So mainstream that Newt University (probably no one has them in their driverless car bracket) recently offered a course in the new technology.  Newt University is the brain child of Newt Gingrich.  This is the link to the course description.


From their website on the course:

That’s why I’ll be conducting an online short course at Newt University on Monday, March 25 to discuss self-driving cars and their potential to create a better American future. It will broadcast live at 4:00 pm EDT, but you can click here to register in advance. We’ll make sure to send you a reminder on Monday.

The course will explore the many implications of this new technology.

For instance, because roughly 80 percent of car accidents are the result of driver error, there is good reason to think driverless cars could save hundreds of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars.

I wonder if his driverless car will consistently drift to the right?
