The End of the Taxi?

Just looking through the news tonight and came across the latest developments in the "driverless" car. In certain cars now there is a function that reverse parks or parallel parks for the driver by the touch of a button.

In the news there was a story about the trials of cars driving around a city using sensors and computer intelligence. This article highlighting a potential use for this technology instantly gets me thinking that in the future once this becomes standard in newer cars, I may never have to order a taxi again. New Years celebrations can be anywhere in the country, there will be less people staying over in hotels etc...

Another thought, does this mean that you dont need a licence -just buy a car and never "drive" again!
