"driving" in the left lane. YES it's illegal.
FL law will now ticket you for not getting out of the left lane.

I'm not a super techy kind of guy and think technology is highly overrated in many cases. However, I'm very hopeful of the benefits driverless vehicles may provide.
Because vehicles will communicate with each other, there's potential to drastically increase efficiencies and minimize bottlenecks often caused by shortcomings of human nature -- unwilling to yield right of way, claiming complete ownership of a lane, attempting to exit or merge at the very last moment, etc.
Example: The so-called zipper concept, involving merging traffic, becomes very inefficient and chaotic because of stubboorness, inattention and other factors. With driverless vehicles communicating with each other, every vehicle would know the intended path of the other, adjusting it's speed and lane selection accordingly and allowing for smoother transitions.
It may not happen in my lifetime, but perhaps the next generation will reap the benefits of such technology.
