It’s not a question of what feels right, it’s a question of what the law actually says. I’m pretty sure most of us are actually not all that fond of the idea of cops making up or creatively reinterpreting the law to suit their own whims, so I don’t see why we should suddenly be cheering for it now.
If the law isn’t written in such a way as to be able to apply to driverless vehicles, that’s a problem that lawmakers need to correct.
And, just so we’re clear, you’re saying you’re cool with the alternative being proposed here, which is that the police just make up the law as they see fit?

Lawmakers are too busy focusing on irrelevant distractions to be addressing gaps in the law.

I don’t believe I said that, nor implied it ?
So which is it then? Do you want cops making the law, do you want lawmakers making the law, or do you want to offer a third option?
