At some point though those tickets need to actually hurt and no be just a cost of doing business.

After enough violations humans get their license taken away. What happens after autonomous vehicle get enough violations?

Yes that is in the law.

Fleet reductions, new limitations on operating areas/conditions, fines, permit suspension or revocation

They put R&D resources toward not getting as many tickets and eventually fix their software to not get tickets? Self driving cars might profit $100/day. Getting tickets completely eats that and ticketing mega corps will be very popular politically so you better believe it will happen

		> They put R&D resources toward not getting as many tickets and eventually fix their software to not get tickets? Why would you assume they would do that? What if the autonomous vehicle only blows a red and kills someone every once and a while and the lawyers to tie the family up in court are cheaper than the software dev and ai training to fix it? Are you willing to wait until the number of dead people exceeds the cost of the fix? Its an extreme example I know but to just assume they would fix it also assumes they are caught and ticketed 100% of the time. There are tons of examples of corporate America weighting the pros and cons of things like this.
