Jonty WareingThings I regret: Looking at github issues for the open-source self-driving car conversion kit.
Thousands of people use these things on public roads.

simonbp@kkarhan @jonty To be clear, it's very illegal in the US too if not properly registered. Which I assume none of these are, because hobbyists aren't going to go through the kind of licensing process that a company would. It's a matter of time before one of them causes an accident and the insurance company of the car they hit sues them for all they're worth.
@simonbp @jonty granted, in Germany cops would instantly pull over someone with some #DIY #SelfDriving and definitiely confiscate the license and impound the vehicle as evidence for a case of "criminal negligence" and multiple violations of traffic code.
- Cuz not even engineers would get permits to do such experiments on public roads!
@simonbp @jonty OFC, that's the same with illegally loud mufflers...
- OFC people tend to "#FuckAroundAndFindOut" sooner or later...
