At some point self driving cars will need their own loser driving laws.

Perhaps allowing them to drive around school buses is not a good idea, although personally I have felt far safer biking or walking in front of a Waymo than a human. But rules few humans follow, like rolling stops, and allowing them to go 5 over seems like a no-brainer. We have a real opportunity here to br more sensible with road rules; let’s not mess it up by limiting robots to our human laws.

What do we have to gain by allowing self driving vehicles to roll through stop signs?

[ninalanyon]

We, the general public, gain nothing.

Corporations gain control of public spaces by allowing corporations to cast other road users as incompetent. Much the same as GM, etc., did with jay walking laws in the US.

Distinguishing between human and robot drivers in this way benefits only corporations and the politicians they pay.

Faster commutes and less wasted energy. This is obvious to anyone even moderately intelligent.

This is a discussion about why autonomous vehicles should have different rules than human drivers, not about the energy efficiency of stop signs. Don't be a dick, dick.
