Innovation, safety sought in self-driving car guidelines

These cars will cause massive traffic jams as they crawl along at 40km, or 80km on the highway. The amount of stress, lost time and destruction of the environment will be immense. If your car self drives, who cares about paying attention?

@Goodlucktoyou:

I'm not sure how much driving speed affects traffic jams compared to say construction, accidents, or just sheer volume of cars (ie. rush hour times), but in one hand you've got driving at the speed limit with stress, and in the other hand you've got drastically reducing accidents and saving lives ... I'll take the latter.
