This all hits a speed bump the first time a kid gets hit in a school crossing or gets knocked off his bike. Lawsuit city.

I really want to see one of those cars drive up here with all the deer and elk running around. We have rock slides and fallen trees as well. All that happens in less than a second.

I will never have an only self-driving car. Forget that crap. I will turn off as much of the computer as I can.

Of course the cost and concerns liability insurance for self-driving cars would keep an ordinary company out of the self-driving car business for quite a few years in the future. Just like they would have kept an ordinary company out of the nuclear plant business back in the 1950s.

But General Electric and Westinghouse were not ordinary companies back then, and Google is not an ordinary company today.

Can anyone identify what made GE and Westinghouse so special back then, and what makes Google so special today?

DOA. Every time I read about self-driving cars I am left wondering about terrorists loading one up with explosives and sending it on its merry way. And, yes, maybe it requires a warm body to initiate. Okay, so they tie up some poor soul and dump them in the car. The result is a Google-delivered bomb.

How about Google comes up with self-driving buses. Then we could fill the with illegals and ... “away we go!”

Sure, let one grain of sand from a dirt road get into the system and it won’t let you out until it drives you to Cleveland.

That, or you get Hastingsized.

“Google Car, take me to Safeway.”

“Are you sure? Based on your previous driving history you might want to go to Walmart.”

“No, I want Safeway.”

“Did you mean “Savemart?. Here’s a list of this week’s specials!”

“No! I said Safeway!”

“Ok. Heading to Sylvan Way.”

What does this car do when no one gives it the space to enter the slow lane to exit the highway?
