18+ is reasonable since it's still a dangerous experiment.

I actually would love an automated version of this that goes at 200 or 300 miles an hour, the ultimate thrill ride. Have it run on something like the Autobahn. While it's impossible for a human being to drive at that speed, computers definitely could .

It would be like sky diving but on land

Why not go on a train?
I love it when the self driving threads always circle back to reinventing the concept of public transportation as if it doesn't already exist. Want to know what the best hyperloop system in the world is called? The subway, invented 200 years ago.
Can't sit on the front seat :)
The fastest passenger cars today can only make it to 200mph. Even a computer with perfect vision and 0ms reaction time would not be able to stop in time for a blocked road at that speed unless visibility/road were perfect.

Maybe on roads in the Mojave Desert/South Dakota I90/etc?
