These cars that have millions of dollars in R&D sunk into them can be rendered useless by simply covering the sensors. It reminds me of the Keurig situation where they tried limiting the functionality of the machine to Keurig-signed (barcoded) K-cups. People immediately figured out how to bypass this by taping a keurig lid to the sensor so it would run every time. People are going to look for ways to get around this.

These companies are gonna have a hard time pulling that off politically. Public transit serves everyone (which this technology also kills), why should governments support infra built for private companies like this? The technology is not public by design. It would be political suicide.
