Ty. Love to follow this as it progresses

Government has to get involved. Sometime and somewhere. Public safety is one aspect

I suggested to one town councilman that our town introduces a bill (ordinance) banning driver less vehicles. Just like we can ban oversized vehicles and parking in the winter. Our government should ban then now while it is not yet happening.

He thought it would be a good idea not to ban them but to capture a licensing fee.

Hopefully this will get introduced at the next meeting

Not supposed to down/up vote to show dis/agreement, but since it is already in play have a vote for tempering new-tech zeal with real world pragmatism.

PS: I don't necessarily agree w/ bans or taxes, just don't like the up/down culture of 'popularity'. The sooner the texters & PMGo players are relegated to child seats, the better for all drivers/passengers/riders, IMO.
