      https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/05/watch-live-spacexs-second-attempt-to-launch-its-first-spy-satellite/

      Here is the webcast. Launch is jsut after the 12 minute mark.

      Youtube Video – [12:00..]

      The really cool thing about this one is that the spy satellite was only gong to LEO. So the first stage had ground camera coverage the entire time. Launch to landing. I had never watched that before.

      That was awesome!

                                    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.
