If self-driving cars start to catch on, it seems that the standards for roads must improve. There are some roads in my area that could be an excellent Turing test. If you follow what the lane markers are telling you to do, you die and are probably a robot. If you ignore the markers and survive, you are probably human. I'd rather increase road standards and accelerate the evolution of self-driving technology than require the development of technology that is capable of driving on today's terrible roads. I know this is not a binary choice -- realistically, both would happen. But I don't think anyone's even talking about better roads for self-driving cars. If even just major roads had to be maintained to a minimally machine-readable standard, it would be a good thing for drivers -- whether human or machine.
