I don't know that this would work overall with the hard core FPV'ers, it would be like getting a Ferrari and being limited to 60 mph.
Bottom line is (IMO) technology is great but has gone too far and some users of this technology don't care about consequences. Google for whatever reason is producing a driverless vehicle and because it's new technology people will run with this ball, abuse the living crap out of it. Personally I don't want to be in a vehicle where no one has control over it. I don't see how a driverless vehicle can avoid some drunk driver out of control that you may be able to steer clear of, and that's just one subject.
