I think that Snowden comment fits here: "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say,&qu

Yes this is a real problem. With the human driver this is based on his reflexes (or self preservation). The self driving system changes that, someone needs to program (or learn) software to behave one way or the other, either killing the dr
