At the same time there are issues that need to be addressed / forced. I'm still waiting for mean spirited drivers to start bullying self-driving cars. For instance commuters cutting them off knowing they will stop to avoid an accident. Which leads to another question. Will driverless cars report bad drivers to police? Making tech companies police informants... will laws be pass forcing this behavior?

Oh. I would love it if they did.

  I can only imagine... Here's the logs of the aggressive driving, during the last 50 seconds. These logs entail a full 3d pointcloud showing that they were not responding to other drivers' potentially erratic patterns. Other driver came within 1 foot of car on multiple occasions. License plate is ABC123 and facial scan of user is $face . User appears to have wronged our passengers with the following laws: $list We're talking an open and shut case here. And every car with enough of these sensors could provide "dumps".

  Are you sure? Sounds like a crowdsourced surveillance dystopia to me. What if driverless cars reported every jaywalker too?

    Great. Ambiguity creates accidents. "Are you walking? Should I stop!? Oh no you aren't walking I can go, oh wait you are I should stop." How many times have you had that happen when you're driving and you see someone hesitantly about to jaywalk? Also, as a cyclist, when a cyclist doesn't ride on the road and follow the laws it drives me nuts. Are you a vehicle or a pedestrian? Please don't be both.

And if a plied to trucks there will be more cases of hijacking or for cross boarder runs illegal immigrants.

> Will driverless cars report bad drivers to police? Human driven cars can, and their are public ad campaigns encouraging them to, and its easier for a driverless cars to do something detailed data without interfering with driving, so I'd be surprised if they didn't.
