The cop directing trffiac during a public event will love it when you have to spend several minutes figuring out how to get your car to let you obey his hand signals.  (And yes, they could disable the  stop now  signal from the trffiac light, but given that right now they don't disable the solid red  stop now  signal, they probably won't in the indeterminate future either.)Honestly, I'm just being a bitch.  Stuff like this is neat to read about and I'm glad to research is happening.  I don't believe for a minute that it will be deployed widely in my lifetime.The really dangerous part will be having a mix of smart and dumb vehicles.  It's bad enough now when people go from a car with automatic headlights to one that doesn't even have a reminder chime and kill their battery by leaving the lights on; imagine the same thing but with  smart stop  and lane departure warning and laser guided cruise control and so forth.  It'll probably still be a net positive, but there would certainly be some accidents from complacency in the wrong vehicle.
