Gun Control & RKBA

...driverless cars will still have a seat and controls for a driver. AFAIK the coming generation of driverless car will not preempt driver control. (In spite of what some CT believers assert, autopilots did not lockout pilot controls on 9/11.) Those industries that develop algorithms for driverless operation will no doubt prioritize safety over speed but slower is not always safer.

re: "...assuming the tech is capable of doing so reliably." The analogous area has been a part of a more heated subset of the controversy over smart guns. As I understand the guiding smart gun principle, it can be phrased, "The gun fires if and only if a designated person holds and fires it." Since there will always be a situation for which the design is unprepared, it is my opinion that a smart gun will always be compromised in reliability over a model without the smart interlock(s). You don't always *need* a gun, but when you do, you really really do.

Hackers will likely be able to defeat measures intended to control either vehicle speed or gun use.
