If you drive an RJ, you'll own the road."

That's the only color it would come in.

Driverless cars = The driverless car bomb.

Good bye revenue from traffic tickets...

Wait... what's that? Government doesn't easily give up revenue sources and takes steps to cut it off at the knees?

The Government is already listing that as a reason why we shouldn't move to this.

Driving a car is infinitely easier than hitting an 80.

I live in Los Angeles, and let me tell you, it cannot get much worse. The amount of stupid shit I see on my daily commute is staggering. Texting while driving, driving while on the phone, doing 45 in the fast lane on a freeway where the speed limit is 65, making right turns from the far left lane in the middle of heavy traffic. I mean to be honest, a four way stop sign is more than most of the drivers around here can figure out, so I absolutely think that if it could be a really good thing to take the human equation out of driving.

I do believe however that there should be a manual override in case of emergency.

While I agree with your statement 100%, unfortunately the law doesn't. We have a no texting while driving law here in California, but you can't roll past a police car with out seeing them on their phones.

Being conscious is barely a prerequisite to being given a drivers license.

DFW is the exact same.

I think I would be a little nervous about the driver-less Semi Truck and Dump truck.

Hopefully everyone in OP gets one. Finally be able to pass on the left for once.

"Drive by Jenny's house 14 times."

Eh, it takes more look ahead, but I think it's doable.
