If water were priced properly, it is a safe bet that farmers would waste far less of it
So by adding a "tax" on things or legislation that penalized farmers who are apparently mispricing due to not calculating the water they are "wasting", said bureaucrats will ensure a) that no food is produced in California and b) the cost of living increases as fuel costs are paid to have all food imported from out of state. Well done sirs, well done.
I'm willing to bet that the genius who came up with farmers "wasting" water has never been to a farm let alone worked one.

Right. These things are usually put down as "act of god". They happen today too. If you're clutching to the notion of a freak accident to throw out a concept, well I've got stuff to sell you. I hope you're one of these survivalists who is betting it all on the world ending. Real soon now.
No because you see, the other autonomous vehicles will stop in time.
As for the manually driven cars plowing into them - well they do that today anyway, don't they?
