    Is it legal to operate a motor vehicle modified to such an extent on a public highway? Retrofitted self driving using, as far as I can tell, completely unregulated software seems absolutely crazy to me. Free software is a good thing, but don't run your buggy shit in a way that can hurt others.

      You can do whatever you want to your car in the US as long as it remains roadworthy, which is basically compliance with FMVSS and state laws. Want to guess what rules don't have much to say about driver assistive technologies?
