*[Driverless] cars should be taxed to offset job losses, thinktank urges.* If the worst problem the cars cause is loss of jobs, taxing them could be sufficient to deal with the problem. Today's driverless cars have other, worse problems: identifying their passengers, blocking traffic, blocking emergency responders, and snooping on everyone that the car spies.
