Not my fault, the car was driving itself. I can't be charged with a violation or a higher insurance rate, go see Elon.
Man, I was thinking that very thought while reading HapMo's post.

I was wondering who'd pay for it, the human, who, like Bruce said, wasn't driving, and can't be held at fault, the insurance co (Would the insurance rate be based on the self-driving programming, the company whose algorithm is being used, or the car manufacturer's track reord ?), or the car co?

Musk is saying they will have a fleet of a million robo-taxis with full "level 5" autonomy NEXT YEAR!

could be a statement just for investors... there will be huge regulatory problems to face even if it works that well...

As a pedestrian, this concerns me a little bit. I'd like some reassurances that these things don't run people over.

And why the hell are Metrorail trains still driven by people?

I wonder how long before there is a social stratification in what cars are available where/when. Drunk folks puke in taxis, I don't want them puking in "my" car. Or we'll have to create a passenger credit-rating, and then we can restrict our cars to users above a certain ranking.

New cars are OK if you know the language.

I've seen uglier. I've *driven* uglier. Could be brightened up with a single color paint job...


crashbar/towhitch is a nice touch.
