While the notion that the state has any authority to let you drive is laughable, this is good news for those with disabilities, state-imposed DUI restrictions, or age restrictions ( minors) .. to now get in a car that they own and go

DMVs, driver's licenses, and driver's insurance ( for the most part) will be a thing of the past. Though the individual should be allowed to drive regular cars if they so choose ( and all the liabilities to them for making such a choice)

Living here in Nevada, I will be eagerly waiting to see these cars show up and observe how they perform

http://singularityhu...ver-is-a-robot/

An extended campaign in Nevada by Google has led to a new host of provisions which will allow automated cars to legally drive in the state. Starting March 1st, 2012 innovators like Google can officially apply for a new kind of robot driver’s license that will give them permission to openly test their cars on the road. Automated vehicles will be able to travel the same streets and highways as human drivers, with only a red license plate marking them as robots. Once research on those automated cars is complete (which may take years), the Nevada Department of Motorized Vehicles will issue them a neon green license plate – an indication that the robot drivers are good to go. Google, whose robotic Prius cars have already driven 200,000+ miles in California quasi-legally, will undoubtedly take full advantage of Nevada’s openness and further develop their technology for general use. Just as important, other states like Hawaii, Florida, and Oklahoma may follow Nevada’s example, paving the way for robot cars to operate all across the United States.

In 10 years you'll be complaining about your fascist robot overloards.

Cause you're not quite evil enough. You're semi-evil, you're quasi-evil, you're the margarine of evil,
you're the diet coke of evil, just one calorie, not "evil" enough.

sounds great, I hope there are no accidents. Just imagine if one of those cars ran over a pedestrian in a week of testing them
