Comcast says it should be able to create internet fast lanes for self-driving cars

The first of a couple articles on the net neutrality issue, Comcast is arguing that the need to provide faster more reliable service to self-driving cars will warrant a competitive pricing model.

Medical uses and automated cars are the examples they use to justify the regulatory roll-back, but the concern is the loophole would allow them to price Internet access in the same way they price cable television.
