How do they test for driving under the influence of marijuana?
Respectfully, you're going to get a different answer to this question depending on whether you ask a cop, a criminal defense attorney/lawyer, or a scientist/physiologist.Driving Under The Influence of Marijuana is a crime just like Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol-- only the substance causing impairment is different. From my perspective as a former prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney, the way that law enforcement currently tests for marijuana impairment might as well be wizardry, witchcraft, voodoo, or alchemy. We have cops in Oregon who literally think that a green tongue is evidence of marijuana impairment. In other words, it's completely unscientific. The government currently uses a combination of two key pieces of evidence: (1) the officer's subjective observations of the the driver's physical and mental condition, and (2) the THC metabolites in the driver's blood or urine. In California, the fact that a driver looks tired or has red eyes combined with the fact that the driver has marijuana metabolites in their urine will presumptively constitute being under the influence of marijuana. The problem is that THC metabolites stay in urine for up to a month-- even though no scientist/physiologist would argue that the effects of marijuana would last that long.In fairness to the government, they do use Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) to attempt to gauge mental and physical impairment. But from a scientific standpoint, the tests are sloppy because they were standardized and validated with a test group that was highly intoxicated.

What is the main aim of autonomous car driving?
I think the answer is twofold. The first is safety. With people addicted to their electronics and no way to curtail it much, the fact that many people are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and just our overall inattentivness while driving, autonomous driving cars is the logical next step now that the technology has caught up with the need.The second reason is society's love affair with the automobile driving is waning. When I was a kid I could hardly wait to turn 16 to get my license and drive. I have had the nicest, sportiest, fun cars over the last 50 years . I LOVE driving! Always have and until I physically can't do it I will continue to derive pleasure from driving. I just purchased a new Mazda MX-5 Miata, my 12th sports car since I was 16…and my 43rd car overall.I sold cars for 3 years AFTER I retired and it amazed me how many times I saw parents and especially grandparents bring their son/grandson into the dealership to buy him his first car and the kid was completely disinterested. Most times he had his nose in his cell phone texting his girlfriend. There was no excitement there. It was like they were taking him shopping to buy school clothes. Now these kids are adults and probably look at driving as "work" and would be completely satisfied with crawling in the back seat and letting the car autonomously deliver him to his destination. It's sad that there isn't an emotional attachment to the experience of owning and driving a car like there used to be because cars have never been better than they are right now. They are more fast, fun, reliable and efficient than they have ever been. And now people are getting so lazy and so preoccupied with other things they look at driving as a chore that they would just as soon not be bothered with.

Can I get a DUI for huffing duster while driving?
You can get a DUI for driving under the influence of anything that can impair your driving. The fact that it doesn't show on a urine test isn't nearly as important as the officer's sworn testimony concerning your driving and demeanor, and the can of duster found in your car. I normally don't care about people using drugs, but huffing duster is just so, so stupid. That s*** causes actual brain damage, and pretty quickly too. You can't become a functional inhalant abuser either like with some other drugs. You're pretty much doomed to becoming a slobbering mess.
