Surely it would be ridiculous to deliberately program the machine to break the law, though. It sounds like in the best case scenario, you're describing a situation in which the law should be changed to correspond to how people actually drive.

In my driver's ed course, it was explicitly covered that police will often not pull you over for doing 5 mph over the limit. If we're training drivers to casually break the law, then it's only logical we'd be doing the same thing to self-driving car AI.
