I can say that these may actually be an improvement over some of the retirees that I encountered there.

Nothing against retirees - I am one! But a machine that can follow a few basic driving rules and techniques would blow a bunch of the ones I saw completely out of the water. I mean basic stuff, like stopping at a red light, or NOT stopping at a green, or not driving for miles with the car centered over the line, doing 5-10 under the speed limit.
