The U.S. House on Wednesday unanimously approved a sweeping proposal to speed the deployment of self-driving cars without human controls by putting federal regulators in the driver's seat and barring states from blocking autonomous vehicles.
The House measure, the first significant federal legislation aimed at speeding self-driving cars to market, would allow automakers to obtain exemptions to deploy up to 25,000 vehicles without meeting existing auto safety standards in the first year. The cap would rise over three years to 100,000 vehicles annually.
How will the young impress each other with their mad driving skillz now?

Also, this will give a completely new means of abductions. Hack the car the victim is is, make it lock the doors and deliver you right at the spot.
For murder, the same works, except that the spot is over the next cliff, or against the next tree.
