Self-driving
cars have the potential to relieve those stopped for driving while
black better than NBA championship millionaire pouting to refuse to
visit the White House while a non-Negro or female is President.
Self-driving cars are basically raceless, although the on-board
computer could be given to speak with a Gulah accent and answer
police questions about its driving respectfully.
Self-driving cars have some limitations such as passing a slow-moving vehicle ahead on a two- way street. Human drivers need to look ahead to determine if they can move out into the lane of oncoming traffic and accelerate to pass an impeding car ahead to return in time to their own lane before meeting with a head-on collision. Self-driving cars presently don't try that maneuver, yet they easily could with adaptive highway sensors that provide live information to self-driving cars of the location of highway traffic with, say, a country mile of the position of the self-driving car.
It is remarkable that Americans believe all sorts of silly things about energy and technology based on a willingness to believe things that reinforce the present economic methodology and establishment. Of course I refer to those that desire no change from the fossil fuel air pollution power system that developed during the industrial revolution and continued through the day of Henry Ford.
U.S. highways should have some sort of way to collect sunshine and release it to electric cars drawing it from a power line. Self-driving cars might be made even safer. I should remark that solar panels are not air polluters worse than coal plants.
