Nevada has introduced new regulations allowing automated vehicles to operate legally on its roads, following a campaign by Google. Starting March 1, 2012, companies can apply for a special robot driver’s license to test self-driving cars. The discussion highlights mixed feelings about this development, with some expressing excitement over the potential for improved safety and efficiency in transportation, while others voice concerns about the reliability of robotic systems compared to human drivers. Key points include the potential impact on various industries, including freight and public transport, and the societal implications of widespread automation in driving. Participants also debate the technology's ability to handle complex driving situations and the ethical considerations of replacing human jobs with robots. Overall, the conversation reflects a blend of optimism for technological advancement and caution regarding its implementation and consequences.

Everyone is talking about the risks/benefits of giving robots drivers' licenses, but that's not the reason the state is doing this. The state is broke. They just need the revenue. I think the next step will be robot marriage licenses, including for gay robot marriage (quickie divorces too).

EDIT: And where else can you get married by a (robotic?) Elvis impersonator?.
