what do u think the likelehood is by the time were old and grey that all driverless vehicles will have a standard communication protocol so its like one giant train or w/e but of individual cars seamlessly entering and exiting transport zones like blood cells do or w.e idk how of this works.

yeah, the tech bubble companies and car manufacturers are both really great at developing standard protocols which they use fairly and cooperatively with their competitors.

like that's literally what "probable cause or a warrant" means. it means the cops have to have either a blatantly obvious good reason, or a reason good enough to pass review by a judge. that sounds like possibly the least offensive thing for americans to love.

tbf while this thread's spiralling hysterics are amusing and all the battle for legal weed in the usa has been all but won by this point

it's still de jure illegal in washington and colorado etc but the feds have adopted a policy of not giving a gently caress and the lure of tax revenue at the state level is too strong to stop this snowball from building
