I can't wait to see driverless cars available everywhere, but I'm afraid of the pushback, especially from governments who will inevitably come up with stupid regulations that will make it as cumbersome to use as possible.

Also, given that I live in France, I'm sure there won't be any Google car allowed anywhere before the French automakers are able to make one -- which is to say, probably never.




Right, because, for instance, they prevented Toyota to sell their Prius because none of the French automaker had a plugin hybrid ?

You know, it's easy to always blame the government when the real problem is that you start your thought process as if it was hopeless from the beginning ...

PS: Yes, I'm French.


The french gvrnt will let them reach the market and tax their asses once they are on it. Classic!


France is a democracy. Traffic accidents are a main cause of death. Self-driving cars appear to be safer already.

Let's make it an issue and make government change.
