Interesting. I wonder if the simulation contains people deliberately
spoofing the GPS or the laser guidance.

It would also be interesting to hear what Google has discovered about
the safety of the Californian road network. It their simulation is
realistic, I would expect them to have identified some real-life hazards
that the road engineers could eliminate, and to have some statistical
data on the injuries that would be saved.
