Lots of cities look at traffic cops as profit makers because they can write enough tickets in their daily duties to cover the expense of hiring them and give their city a profit margin..

I can't wait to own a self-driving car. I will of course still drive it on my own but I love the idea of getting in and saying "Jarvis, take me home".

I wonder what happens in certain legal situations. If a self-driving car hits another car, is the driver still responsible?

And what if you're out drinking. Normally you wouldn't get behind the wheel but if your car can drive you home, should you still do it? And if you're pulled over anyway, Would you still get a ticket or lose your license? Technically you're behind the wheel, but, you're also not driving.

Regardless, TECH! I love it.
