                                  How to ticket self parking cars?

                                  How often will they really need to ticket them? I know there will be exceptions but in reality they will be able to follow all rules of the road and innovate new rules/laws.

                                    Able to follow, and made to follow aren't the same, though. Forcing your car to break the law or breaking the law with a car that allows manual override will be major factors.

                                      I think of the movie "I, Robot" anytime I think about needing a car with manual override. "You are having an accident." lol.

                                        But that would still be a person behind the wheel at that point, at least in the case of a manual override.

                                          Right, which is why ticketing is potentially needed. How do you ticket a self driving car after it has been parked? Because you don't know if there was a software issue, a miscommunication of parking rules or a human parked of their own accord.

                                            Now we're starting to border on civil asset forfeiture. If anything, the person needs to be responsible for what their vehicle does.
