Um, you may want to start doing a bit of catch-up reading before making any
further categorical statements like the above since you appear to be making
claims outside your realm of knowledge or expertise. It appears you are
probably unaware of current development in this area. Autonomous vehicles
are probably in the near future; this is what DARPA's Grand Challenge was
intended to accomplish:

I work with Traffic Engineers, state DOT's and FHWA on a regular basis.

Automated traffic crap IS my area of expertise.

I'm well aware of what is out there and the experimental projects.

The statement stands.

If you believe it is just around the corner, somewhere I have a Popular
Mechanics from the 1930's that says the same thing you might like to read.
