Combined PING! and DANG!
Are they gonna put tracks in the roads like the do with the ‘old fashioned’ cars at amusement parks now???
Who’s going to be at fault if there’s an accident? I’ll lay money on it that there will be cameras all over the vehicles and they will actually be driven by remote operators during the first phase because ther’s big money and potential government contracts riding on this type technology. So I highly doubt they will be completely driverless but that’s the image that will be potrayed to sell it.
And always will be because ... who ya going to blame? A computer?

Cops are still scratching their heads on how to write a self driving car a ticket.
A very dumb idea. These are not self-driving cars. They are assisted-driving cars. They can’t and won’t ever do everything, so the driver must be ready to take over.
People worried about potential crashes should remember that in California, accidents involving self-driving cars have all been the fault of humans so far.
there is likely a very serious gap between the reflexive reactive responses of a Human driver...and that of a droid car. Often the cause of an accident may not be as important as being able to avoid whatever circumstance caused the accident.
If driver not at fault can not avoid.....the collision based on any number of factors within...his control.....he still “gets in a accident”
Id be willing to bet that a humans is far FAR better equipped to avoid danger..that a machine.
