Driverless cars are in an advanced stage of development, and will be on the road in the near future.  Wyman Williams, the Director of Development for the College of Business at Texas A&M University-Commerce, and the long-time general manager of Williams Motors in Commerce, says the driverless cars will be very much in demand from baby boomers as they age and their vision declines.  He foresees highway lanes that will be exclusively for driverless cars.
