Sensationalist headlines have scared many into thinking self-driving cars are unsafe. Is that the case? We steer our way through the myths and rumors about driverless cars and autonomous vehicles.

Is it fun to drive a car that drives itself? Is the "thrill" of driving going to go away? Are Level 5 autonomous vehicles a "Grail quest"? Will KITT save us?

We also talk about the state of electric vehicles: what people want, what auto manufacturers are making, and what's holding us back from real adoption. (Plus: the environmental concerns that should be at the forefront of our minds.)

If all else fails, at least we have Mars (and driverless vehicles there), right?
