GURLEY-SXSW.jpgTechCrunch – Benchmark general partner Bill Gurley doesn’t believe there’s a driverless car revolution happening anytime soon.

Today in a conversation with author Malcolm Gladwell at SXSW Interactive, the famed Silicon Valley investor said the technical requirements to bring driverless cars to market will be much too high to have any sort of short-term impact.

“I’m more of a skeptic on driverless cars than most people may be,” Gurley said. “The number of 9s that will be required… for a machine to be out there that weighs three tons at that speed, it would need four nines.”
