To their credit, Greco realized what the danger was. They tried early to ban self-driving cars from town entirely. That didnât hold up in court, of course. What were they supposed to sayâthat the cars were making the town too safe? They couldnât very well make their real complaint, which was that they had built their whole economy around the reliable imperfection of human drivers, and suddenly that human element was just ⊠gone. Replaced by an orderly little line of crossover SUVs with LIDAR sensors that always knew exactly what the speed limit was.
Either way, the point is that in that crucial moment when the officer rolls down the window and asks how fast you were goingâyouâre not quite sure. And that little moment of doubt, repeated over thousands of traffic stopsâŠit might, just maybe, be worth big money.
