YES I’M STILL WATCHING THE NEWS ON DRIVERLESS CARS (AKA AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES) AND I STILL CAN’T WAIT UNTIL I CAN USE ONE

A nice, brief rundown on the current state of driverless cars can be found on the Antiplanner’s blog.  He links to an article at Boston.com titled “How Arizona became a driverless car utopia.”  I like the sound of that.
The Boston.com article is somewhat informative, but the tone is obviously negative (about what you would expect).  It trots out the usual cast of self-interested non-profits who always advocate for more regulations.  The article also strains to point out the mortal threat to the citizens of Arizona by discussing at length the one (one!) traffic collision reported so far that involved an autonomous vehicle, and all the horrible things that could have happened if only the circumstances of that one collision had been different (i.e. had the collision been caused by the autonomous vehicle, which it wasn’t).
