Why doesn't the US charge users for its GPS signals?

Staying on the road is the trivial part of automated automobile operation. Avoiding the dynamic obstacles ahead, behind, and all around (i.e. other cars) is the hard part. Avoiding bankruptcy-inducing liability for the inevitable mistakes is the truly insoluble part, at least in the US.

Believe me, we are aware of these issues. My company is working with engineers with, among others, BMW and Volkswagen to work on these problems. This is for the long term.
