Nevada Approves Rules For Self-Driving Cars

Griller_GT writes with news that Nevada has become the first U.S. state to approve regulations for allowing self-driving cars on its roads. "Autonomous test vehicles will display a red license plate, Nevada officials said. If and when the technology is approved for public use, the cars will carry a green license plate. ... Nevada said it worked with Google, automobile manufacturers, testing professionals, insurance companies, universities and law enforcement to develop the regulations. Other states also have similar bills that will be voted upon to determine if they, too, can follow suit."

A driverless vehicle may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, unless in Reno and with the intent of observing said human's demise.

Car goes out alone at night

[fleebait]

Next thing, after I go to bed, the car wants to go out on it's own, and just "hang out"

Morning: "Where did you go?"
Car: "Out"
Me: "What did you do?"

Car: "Nothing."

Use the existing standard!

Green licence plates? Pah!
Everybody already knows that a sweeping line of red LEDs in the grill is how you recognise a self driving car.
Sheesh!

What a waste of Energy

[Oswald McWeany]

Self driving cars are a waste of energy.

They should at least be driving goods or people around. But just driving themselves around is such a waste.
