Apple scientists disclose self-driving car research
There was a time when I thought of regulations as progress killers, but I find myself shifting on that and getting nervous every time I hear about self-driving tech.<p>It's great stuff, but I really do not want my family to be the brave eggs we had to crack to get to the omelet of a driverless future.<p>I now _like_ that someone somewhere has a book listing chemicals that aren't allowed to be shipped on an airplane, and I wish there were a way to jump right to that mired, bureaucratic point in car tech.<p>Similarly, I used to view lawsuits as a menace to free enterprise, but I'm a tiny bit comforted by the fact that everyone working on car tech knows they're extremely exposed to litigation if they aren't diligent.<p>The idea of code from Apple or Google driving on my roads is switching me from classical liberalism to "help me, big government!"
