looking at the pictures of the cars, I'm starting to realize (fear) these images will be used for data collection as well! The cars are roving 360-degree cameras! Not that I'm paranoid personally, but these will give the owners a lot of information about peoples' movement patterns, a competitive advantage, an asset. For example, they could tell how many people wait at bus stops and sell that info to municipalities... They could look for trends in fashion on the sidewalks and sell it to clothing companies... Even if they don't achieve autonomy, just putting cameras any vehicle and re-selling the footage data-miners could be profitable.
