CNBC: 'I hate them': Locals reportedly frustrated with Alphabet's self-driving cars

15. Two things:

There is a lot more going on between drivers than these robot builders are willing to admit. I predict the auto-cars will be stopped all over the place as they try to figure out how to do something like simply merge in congested traffic....I think the most difficult maneuver to make is a left turn from a side street onto a four lane major roadway. Robot cars will be unable to do it and will be programed to turn right and work from there....or just sit there waiting for midnight when traffic dies down.

2. We the taxpayers will be on the hook to rebuild the entire road system to enable the techies to foist their robot cars on us in the name of safety. If they have a problem with people driving cars...why not, right now, take their licenses and make them take the bus?
