I think that when it becomes clear how much safer driverless cars are, not only will black boxes be required, but it will illegal to drive a car unless you've got a special licence - which will only be given out to collectors, people with specific jobs, etc. Something like current UK gun laws.
Of course that won't happen for 20 years at least.
Can't wait. I'd much rather cycle around a bunch of robot cars than stupid humans driving using their distracted human brains and lethargic human limbs.
I assume that black boxes / limiters will start being necessary (as in, required by insurance companies) in non-autonomous cars once autonomous cars are commonplace on the roads.
Wasn't there something about autonomous car tests and having to make them drive slightly faster than the limit so they didn't keep getting rear ended by normal traffic? :-)
