  > Though it can be easily fixed, particularly given the lack of user control over cars with FSD: For self driving cars all public roads are toll roads. I disagree. Politically it would be hard to convince the majority of people (which would be the default state until some inversion) that a vehicle that is capable of self-driving should have to a surcharge per mile, given that it could also be driven manually. The only recourse would be to make all roads toll roads, which obviously won't happen.
