Audi announces that it has been granted the second-ever license for testing self-driving cars in Nevada.
And yesterday I watched a TV program of a Pennsylvania motorcycle group that deals with government regulations regarding motorcycles. One of the subjects brought up, was that "when public traffic flow control systems in the future control the speed of vehicles so as to optimize traffic flow, these people who ride motorcycles want to drive home the point that when motorcycles have their speed controlled by systems other than the rider if the speed is made too slow in a turn the motorcycle will fall over".

Someday when the technology is ready, the yearly deaths and injuries caused by people being in control of vehicles will force laws to be passed requiring vehicles to be designed so it is not possible for a human to be in control when the vehicle is on public roadways.
Look on Wikipedia. We are talking of approximately 30,000 people killed each year in vehicles accidents here in the United States, and probably more than that number injured.
