It will be some bullshite what if you need to manually override ?

I think so in case you have to use the manual override. At least, that's what the guys I work with say. Could be complete bs

You can text though probably

Actually a pretty interesting question. Driverless cars in general are going to change a lot about the world in areas all the way from infrastructure spending and standards, car manufacture regulations and the civil and criminal justice systems. Exactly how the landscape changes remains to be seen with how exactly the technology evolves in between now and when these cars are in mass use and these issues actually begin to arise. I'd imagine specific to your question it is something that state and federal legislature will have to examine depending on the level of control one can have over the vehicle when it's in "driverless" mode or otherwise.

But there has to be some traffic violation for the police to pull you over

And if the car hasnt malfunctioned, then it should be operating properly, i.e. shouldnt be any traffic violations

So if its operating properly it should be impossible for you to get a OWI unless a cop sees you stumbling out of a bar into the driver's seat

Driver's seat? I'm riding in the back and let my slave robot chauffeur me around.

Im sure the law will require at least one licensed individual to be in the driver's seat just in case it has to go to manual mode


Hypothetical: the radiator goes out and you have to take control. You dont want to in the backseat when it switches control to manual

No way they wouldn't install a weight sensor to prevent the car from firing or remaining running if there isn't someone in the driver's seat, at least for the first few years (decades?) of self-driving cars and that person would be considered to be in control.

Here's how they keep the DUI gravy train going when self-driving cars become the norm and the "failure to properly signal" fishing expeditions go away: Checkpoints everywhere, comrade.
