Why is it xenophobic to be concerned that non-registered drivers in one country are being allowed to drive remotely in a different country.

  As far as I understand it, they aren't being allowed to drive. They are doing the equivalent of "ignore that, it's not a real obstacle" or "try to go around this way", and then the car takes that input into account and does the actual driving (steering, control of throttle/brake) on it's own as usual.

    You're saying they don't interpret road signs/markings/etc.? Or need to know if e.g. a right or left turn on red is legal in a given intersection?

      It might be for non road code level issues, like physics / crowd ambiguity, where a normal human could fill the missing gaps, US citizen or not.

      I don't need, legally, to demonstrate any knowledge of this to drive on US roads currently (or even, strictly speaking, to know what side of the road I should drive on).

        It's been quite a while, but I'm pretty sure there was a written part back when I did the driving test for my first license.
        • rcxdude 8mo ago
          Yeah (at least, that's probably the case in some parts of the US), but I didn't pass my test in the US.

      No, I'm saying that no one should be "concerned that non-registered drivers in one country are being allowed to drive remotely in a different country" because they aren't driving.
