How to ticket self parking cars?

How often will they really need to ticket them? I know there will be exceptions but in reality they will be able to follow all rules of the road and innovate new rules/laws.

Able to follow, and made to follow aren't the same, though. Forcing your car to break the law or breaking the law with a car that allows manual override will be major factors.

But that would still be a person behind the wheel at that point, at least in the case of a manual override.

Right, which is why ticketing is potentially needed. How do you ticket a self driving car after it has been parked? Because you don't know if there was a software issue, a miscommunication of parking rules or a human parked of their own accord.

Was that supposed to be a vehicle recommendation as well?

Just doing my civic duty.

It's a super duty for sure.

Seems like we have laws specifically to prevent this type of thing.

We do, but laws don't often apply to large companies.

This isn't really net neutrality related... but when did the FCC decide that one-provider markets were competitive?

When it only cost that ISP a few grand to rebrand monopoly.

Corruption is the cheapest form of business.

Few weeks ago. We talked about it here.

Well Sprint, there's a very well-known and accepted way to plead your case to the FCC.

Just visit the address you get from Pai's secretary...

This is really good.

@coliver looks a little tall. . . I figured a single pack of money would be enough . . .
