Right lanes keep dropping off forcing a merge left.

Good lighting would really help.
Maybe it is where you live. There are tons of street lights near me and now they have switched to LEDs so it is like entering Vegas at night!

Here in Cary? Sweet mercy! LED lights EVERYWHERE.

I know the ones in my neighborhood are like daylight all night.

We will have self-driving cars within the next decade, so public transportation will no longer be the only means to get around. I test drove a Honda Accord Hybrid yesterday with lane monitoring technology and it was an exciting view into the very near future.

Considering the garbage work and recalls in present technology, self driving cars will be a disaster.

Bad enough that some jerks shoot at traffic or drop rocks. Just wait till hackers sit by the roadside messing with the automatic cars remotely with a laptop causing them to crash.

These cars are a pipe dream. Where will owners find skilled technicians to repair these vehicles at affordable prices. They will need airframe and power plant mechanics up the bazoo to meet the demand.

With the stupidly designed roads here, don't expect the automatic cars to operate correctly.

Too late. It's already happening.
