DriverlessShmiverless

You won't be able to drive it onto an unpaved
lot so as to enter (unmarked) parking spaces
in any driverless manner.  Driverless cars can't
invent making parking spaces work where
they don't exist.

Which is just as well.  Your insurer (also search
engine, also the police) will know everywhere you
go, and driving on unpaved driveways or roads
actually voids some car warranties.

The insurers just care to know who's at fault,
without the full blown lawsuit,
more than whether or not you lose control of
your fate in the net.   There'll be accidents for sure,
totally left to the technology, if it's totally left
to the technology, though I don't think many
people really anticipate that happening for a long
time (there're many safety spin-offs short of that.)
