Nope, they run fine on existing roads, from city streets to country back roads to major highways.

From what I've seen on the research, this was then entire point:  To develop cars that could drive themselves on existing, unmodified roads as they currently are built.  It wasn't easy, since it isn't like you can just do things like hook a camera up to a computer and have the computer figure out where the road even is.  It's been decades of work to devise workable means for computers to detect obstacles, identify roadways, identify potential dangers, find a reasonable route to a destination..

One big roadblock was waiting for a more accurate GPS system. Up until 2004 or so, the GPS could only get you within a few meters, and the GPS systems just assumed if you were "near enough" to a road they'd place you on it. Now, not only is the GPS system much more accurate, the maps are better too and the car's cameras and sensors can double-check everything to make sure their given location matches reality.

Well, if it isn't our favorite cynic and professional asshole, H.L.Mencken.

"'how can a libertarian be fine with the government redefining marriage?'

If it's wrong for the government to redefine marriage, then it was wrong for government to define marriage to begin with." --Shane in the comments of this video

"Who wants good people in government? Good people should be in the private sector. Helping us out, helping themselves out in the private sector. We want schmoes in government. We want people who can't find the doorknob. Why waste productive people, as well as looting the taxpayer?" --Murray N. Rothbard

From the Facebook timeline of a lifetime member of LP Georgia (via the LPGA page):

"I became confused when I heard the word "Service" used with these agencies:

Internal Revenue 'Service'
U.S. Postal 'Service'
Telephone 'Service'
Cable TV 'Service'
Civil 'Service'
State, City, County & Public 'Service'
Customer 'Service'

This is not what I thought 'Service' meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'Service' a few cows.

BAM !!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those agencies are doing.

I hope that you are now just as enlightened as I am."

Uhh....was this meant to be a fail quote? Doesn't sound all that fail to me.

I think we should replace 'service' with 'extortion racket'
