Yep. Instead of a conservative approach to new technology the US uses a Conservative approach to new technology which means no regulation and costs born by the populace. No privacy, health outcomes, safety recalls…all to foster “innovation”. We’re basically just lab rats without rights and the now-being-actively-dismantled veneer of protections.

I think we need a conservative approach npw, where the CEO of the companies pushing self driving are personally held liable for manslaughter if someone dies due to an error.

I was talking with a coworker a few months ago, who to my surprise was a big Tesla supporter. He was convinced Elon would take personal accountability for FSD because it was THAT good. I told him he’s living in a fantasy world.
