Considering the season, I’d like to see if one of these self-drivers can distinguish between a shallow puddle and an 8-inch deep pothole filled with water.
I’d like to see how these self-drivers negotiate tricky construction zones, whether they obey hand signals or signs held by workers? And for that matter, how well do they deal with cops directing traffic?
Can they deal with an out-of-commission stop light? Debris on the road?
How much do they depend on painted markings on the roads, which are often in poor condition or non-existent?

The car is speeding. A cop chases it. It refuses to pull over - how would it know to pull over? Perhaps it finally stopped. Who gets the ticket?
In an autonomous car, can you have open liquor?
The car is used in abank robbery. Who drives the get-away car?

The car is speeding.Impossible. They will be programmed to never speed. And just think how these "road nannies" will gum up traffic on the interstates.
But as for cops pulling them over, there will be a way for the cop to electronically command the car to pull over. Regulations to require connectivity between nearby cars are already in the works. That will provide the mechanism.

I am NOT looking forward to standing in line with a bunch of Bolts at the DPS to renew my driver’s license. (Some of the dolts that are there now are bad enough)

Not really. I am a dyed in the wool car nut. With over 50 cars registered to me in my life, and currently in possession of a modified Corvette Z06, a hot rod 1970 Opel GT and 4 other rides, I would love one of these.
As a sales rep on the road it would be awesome to program my car to go somewhere then sit back and have an office day along the way. It wont be the end of automotive fun, as a guy who averages 250 miles a day for work it would give me hours to be more productive, or have leisureish time.

Remember, GM is the company that knowingly let innocent people go to prison as they covered up their criminal wrongdoing. Every senior Exec at GM should have gotten a nice long prison term.

a hot rod 1970 Opel GT Let me know if you ever decide to part with that one. Bought a '73 off the floor and have been looking for a salvageable restore. Most of the ones I have found are either too far gone, way over priced, or both.

The change would be gradual enough if it extended into the 23rd century.
