Actually I was thinking how stupid traffic lights are, and how long they have had to improve, and how this doesn't bode well for a robot driver.
But yah, political, completely. How do you think google got 'em on the road so fast. It wasn't "free market forces"... And they they make up stuff when the things do fail. Pure politics, and the fanboys got techno-boners. Or are just talking crap because of work/investment related conflicts of interest. (or some combination).
Yes, driving wise, a cop watching the streets and controlling the signals would be a HUGE improvement.
Every single "safety" speculation is a step towards totalitarianism. Which is what the invested want.
