Discussion here in the lab made me realize that, within a few years, we're going to need a commonly accepted warning icon for 'THIS VEHICLE IS AUTONOMOUS'.

The neat thing is, while at first this icon will be ominous and scary, it will eventually be comforting: 'IT FOLLOWS ALL TRAFFIC LAWS IN A SANE AND PREDICTABLE MANNER. AT NO TIME CAN A DRUNK HUMAN TAKE CONTROL.' I'm looking forward to experiencing that transition.

So... what should it look like? I turn to you, the audience at home. Extra points if you draw one up in MS Paint. :)

It should look like a robot behind a steering wheel. Can I get a "Duh"?

Eeeeee! The car looks so delighted. If you couldn't tell from the subtlest of ethanol yays.

Two hands on a steering wheel, with a no sign?
