U.S. Signals Backing for Self-Driving Cars

"The instructions signaled to motorists that automated vehicles would not be a Wild West where companies can try anything without oversight, but were also vague enough that automakers and technology companies would not fear overregulation."

That ought to set back automated car evolution by twenty years. It's always fun to watch lawyers trying to write rules for industries in which the technologies change before the ink dries in the federal register.

Government regulation of the Internet has been sparse and technologically-neutral. The CDMA Safe Harbor comes to mind. Not to mention the fact that Congress has gone to great lengths to deregulate any part of the Internet that changes rapidly. Is there an example you're thinking of?

What about the government regulations for crypto-currencies makes them susceptible to being obsolete in light of technological changes?
