Aldermen air concerns about driverless vehicles

Chicago aldermen on Monday threw up a giant caution flag about driverless vehicles, amid concern the technology would be a "job-killer" that endangers motorcyclists and pedestrians and becomes a target for terrorists and hackers.

One year after proposing that autonomous vehicles be banned from the streets of Chicago, the City Council's Finance and Transportation Committees held a hearing, but took no vote.

Finance Committee Chairman Edward Burke opened the hearing by playing a clip from the movie "Back to the Future" - but mistakenly called it, "Into the Future."

Burke then complained aloud about a bill awaiting Gov. Bruce Rauner's signature that would pre-empt Chicago and other home-rule units from banning autonomous vehicles.
