What does it mean to "put driverless cars back in the slow lane"? If it means to slow down investment, research and development, that strikes me as foolishly shortsighted. I don't think I've talked to anyone with even a modest understanding of the relevant technologies who doesn't think most driving will eventually be done by robots. Having a financial stake in those robots is reasonably likely to pay off. If it means that robots should have to pass a driving test before being allowed on the road without adult supervision, I don't think many people would argue against that.

The concept of a driving test for self-driving cars is pretty interesting - is there anything like this currently in the works?

  There appear to be numerous competing standards for evaluating self-driving cars in the works.

    Sounds lucrative but also a hard industry to break into. I have some interesting ideas related to self-driving cars but I have no clue where I'd even take those.
