Jim, Chris, I suggest you don't visit Silicon Valley any time soon as Google's autonomous vehicles are cruising around, especially downtown Mountain View, all the time. You will regularly see them on the road, in fact some fellow EV enthusiasts know when something is happening at Google from looking at the frequency with which they see the autonomous cars cruising around.

And when you're in the vicinity of anything you could hit, you're not permitted to use it. Since when? I'll have to remember that next time I fly an ILS approach, that I can't have the AutoPilot coupled... In fact a Cat-3 ILS REQUIRES full AutoPilot control and the pilot must be hands-off. OK, I'm not current (by a long shot) - kids are too damn expensive! BTW, I also have little desire to be anywhere near an autonomous car any time soon!
