Are automated electric vehicles about to transform our roads out of all recognition? And will it end private car ownership?

Ed Butler takes a test drive in a Tesla - with the car doing a chunk of the driving - to find out just how far self-driving technology has already advanced. And he speaks to car tech think tanker James Arbib, who claims that soon all of us will be ditching our old petrol-powered cars altogether, and renting Uber-style electric pods instead.

This could destroy many existing industries - the big car-makers, the oil giants, lorry drivers, and the traditional car salesman. We ask Jonathan Collegio of the US National Automobile Dealers' Association whether he is nervous. And what future problems could this new tech hold? Ed speaks to Doug Davis, head of automated driving at chipmaker Intel.
