[ExI] self driving cars again

[Anders Sandberg]

Car companies and auto engineers are all for driver aids, and are 
developing neat systems that 1) sell cars, 2) fit into existing legal 
frameworks, and 3) can be developed in the same way as other car systems.

Meanwhile Google, DARPA and the others are total outsiders who view cars 
as robots-to-be, aiming at full autonomy. These two groups do not 
understand each other. Maybe we are going to see a disruptive takeover 
like when Apple took over the music business, maybe we are going to see 
a total failure to produce anything saleable (like any number of 
dotcoms). Maybe we end up with a car app store.
