Not in the context of self-driving cars. For that, US roads should be good enough. If they aren't why not just provide roads that are prepared with aids (electronic or otherwise) just so self-driving cars will work properly?

I fully agree that self-driving cars should be able to go on US roads, and of course they're "good enough." They should be designed with any type of road in mind, because you never know where you'll have to drive.

I was simply responding to someone defending US roads when there's a publicly visible crisis happening with our road (among other) infrastructure that no politician seems to want to address.
