The local governments will ban all these self-driving cars, they won't get enough traffic tickets to fund their stash... while at the same time, saying they are trying to protect their residents...

Or imagine a RV with this? Just have it drive you to new parks while you sleep. Most awesome RV EVER.
I like the idea of google driving. Then let them be liable.

I love it! Lay on the air-horn, and when you finally get past, look in the camera and see them shaking like a leaf on the tree! Or better yet, when they pass you, cut you off and then hit their brakes and then you see them having those cartoon eyes bulging out of their sockets when they hear you hitting the Jake and realizing they may end up with your living room in their back seat.

Any way in which patterns or signatures can be derived, one can be tracked. Be it RFID, Behavior, GPS, DNA, Nano, Brain frequencies etc... Nowadays newer cars can be hacked into and keep a great deal of info. This is just part of a myriad of different ways to profit.
