By the way guys, thanks for humoring us, considering we've actually posted this cartoon twice by accident!
stotheco I would agree that it's a good idea to have lanes rendered specially for these driverless cars. However, it's too taxing on infrastructure, don't you think? I don't think the number of these cars...
Evlushun Beta test version of the Driverless Car. 'Human judgement' feature and other safety features will be in the next release. For now...HANG ON TIGHT!
