""Self-driving cars will alter this arrangement; there's no doubt. What's more interesting to me is the degree to which this will be lumpy or unevenly distributed," Elizabeth Joh, law professor at UC Davis School of Law, told Motherboard in an email.
"In the near term, more affluent people will adopt self-driving cars and they will be subjected to the post-hoc information policing Orin describes," she added. "But the less well off will presumably continue with traditional cars for a while, and they'll be subjected to the same regime as they experience now. Will that make things even worse in terms of how policing is perceived?""
