   Yep, and all it takes is for one person to accidentally or on purpose   
   change something and all of a sudden the harbour bridge is supposedly   
   20ft further left and all the self-driving cars are driving straight   
   off a cliff like mythical-lemmings.   
      
   No thanks, self-driving cars is a silly enough idea at the best of   
   times, but self-driving cars being directed by humans who don't even   
   know the area ... it's bad enough with government idiots already doing   
   that when making road decisions.  :-(
