Re: If Google wants to limit the speed of their test cars/prototypes to 25 mph....

This being the most obvious question - it's not like google don't have any map capability and how is it that deliberately sending out a slow-moving vehicle on to a minimum-speed road is not an automatic and non-forgiveable bookemdanno*? Do they have people programming the car that don't know the highway code**?

What happens the next time, will the speed cap be removed and will we finally get satnav data that is actually valid for the current road, or will there just be a continued exemption for the robot car because it's a machine and therefore can't be sued if anyone dies as a result of the 3-mile tailback? Remember that by approaching the car and speaking to the occupant instead of the driver, you are accepting the terms and conditions clearly displayed on the plaque on the boot.
