Well, let's pretend that the "Smart Driverless Highway of the
Future(tm)" is funded with our tax dollars, in order to provide a
suitable arena for testing driverless vehicles.

But they're testing these things now on ordinary streets. They're
attempting to make the cars, not the highway, "smart."

Which brings up the problem of "who do you sue"? After all it the auto
is self controlled you obviously can't sue the bloke sitting there
staring at his hand phone and the car makers are going to have legions
of extremely highly paid legal "consultants".
