Automated confusion

This reports on legislation for driverless cars in California, adding to the list of (1) states (nevada).  One person involed in it all has the vision of driverless cars to empower those that cannot drive including the disabled, the intoxicated(!) and blind travellers.  The boot note however still indicates that these cars would require a licenced driver to be present behind the wheel should manual intervention be required. Neat trick...

Such unified direction does not inspire confidence.
