It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

We'll know that civilization is ending when they invent the first robot lawyer to handle the lawsuits!

Pardon? Are you implying that civilization has actually started?  Huh

We might just skip it.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

This bodes ill for Project Sex-bot.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Right. One second you're getting the blow job of your life, then someone hacks into the software and its jaws snap shut.

BoT, this article points out that removing the loose nut behind the wheel will improve driving safety.

And the technology to implement this system will cost how much? And a sat data link failure will result in what? Ok, British Rail or what ever they are called now are rightly mocked, but I can still get a return from Edinburgh to London for fifty quid. My view is; first get human pilots out of commercial airlines and prove this automation concept is feasible.
Always remember. Who gains from the implementation of this new technology. Follow the money.

I'm not getting into a self driver until they can down load morals.
