While you make a bunch of good points about the unintended consequences of regulations, it's clear to me that cars work as is without an auto-pilot -- and have since the original Model T.

That said, Ralph Nader's "Unsafe At Any Speed" is a great example of why regulation of automobiles is needed. There's also a reason why cars have safety glass on the windshield.

I'd like to see your entire post again, but related only to self-driving cars.
