My home town is close to Rome. I would love a car that could drive there autonomously. But in the city? Cobblestones, broken pavement, pedestrians crossing randomly, motorbikes overtaking you everywhere, no formal lanes, narrow streets, restricted areas, broken buses, tramways, city police indications when semaphores are off, people trying to sell you stuff or washing your screen when you have a red light..

I think we'll need general artificial intelligence to handle that.

There are roads near me that people struggle to drive down. The amount of negotiation with other drivers, the ability to bump up a hedge or pavement, or reverse hundreds of meters ... or sometimes the need to assertively barge through. But we have nice roads, so geo-fencing to AI certified roads sounds fine.

Yeah but that doesnt support the "autonomous taxi" use cases that have been pushed for revenue.

Perhaps you need a better government that takes care of all these things. Don't you think?

Isn't dealing with corruption and corrupt officials rife in the quotidian lives of Italians even in 2019? Don't you think its high time Italians figured this dysfunction out rather than expect the modern world to bend to the moribundity of your culture and ways of doing things? [1] [2]
