The only serious roadblock (pun not intended), is regulatory. All it takes is a few jurisdictions to pass laws and it will spread quickly. I don't foresee this as a hurdle.[/QUOTE]

I don't think this will be a serious roadblock for long, once the insurance companies are confident in the impact automated cars will have on their bottom line and risk they will lobby for regulations that support and encourage pro-vehicle automation.
