I assume this is allowed? Are autonomous vehicles without drivers legal?

I am certainly impressed by the video, but I don't know if they're allowed to do that.

If it's not a public road, you can do this kind of thing

And I mean, if you really want self-driving cars, then yes this is the least they could do

I patiently await the people that put traffic cones adjacent to the sidewalk to start messing with their pathing. It would be kinda funny to see a driverless pile-up caused by two guys with surplus road commission signage. Who needs LIDAR anyways, right?

Double points if you succeed at fooling them from the standoff distance of your own private property!

I mean… does it matter what’s legal in this case?
