Navigating the Legality of Autonomous Vehicles

Navigating the Legality of Autonomous Vehicles

I wasn’t long in the backseat of Google’s self-driving Toyota Prius, cruising smoothly down California Highway 85, before a sober, gray-flannel question pierced my giddy techno-utopian buzz: Is this legal?

On principle, it would seem downright churlish to penalize Google’s upstanding Prius — which kept letter-perfect lane position, following distance and speed-limit compliance — while all around us human drivers committed a panoply of illegal acts: talking on their phones, speeding, changing lanes without signaling, tailgating, you name it.

But what does the law say about autonomous vehicles?

L'évolution de la technique permet maintenant de faire voler des drônes à près de 50 km/h de manières complètement autonomes. A l'aide des ces caméras stéréoscopiques et des ces processeurs, il "voit" et analyse en temps réel son environement et adapte sa trajectiore. Enfin, comme le code est sous licence open source, vous etes en mesure de pouvoir faire exactement la même chose.

Developments in technology now allow drones to fly at nearly 30 mp/h completely autonomous ways. With the help of these stereoscopic cameras and these processors, it "sees" and real-time scanning its environment and adapts its trajectiore. Finally, as the code under open source license, you are able to do exactly the same thing.
