Do You Need a Road Test for Autonomous Vehicles?

The big practical challenge will be figuring out can you get a test that actually works for what you want to demonstrate and is not gameable? Well, you don't. It's like all the stories about how people perfect a demonstration of a new product. And it's rigged for whatever the demonstration situation is. So you want to have a driving test that will be fair. The companion concept is a concept that's been used in other industries such as nuclear power. And that's where you have ways of looking at whether the risk is as low as reasonably practicable. You need to be able to back that up in some form.
