Comment on Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco

• BassTurd@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  A small animal not being visible to a human or robotic driver is absolutely a viable excuse. It’s sad that the cat died, but it’s first an foremost the fault of the owners for letting their cat out.

  I don’t like the tech bro world and I’m not a fan of driverless vehicles, but this didn’t happen because it was driverless and the outcome would be the same if their were a person behind the wheel.

  You can definitely argue against cars being on the road in general, but I was on a bike ride with a buddy the other day, and he hit a squirrel that ran between us and then under his bike. Sometimes bad things happen especially when dealing with animals, and blaming a computer blindly is dumb AF.

    I mean ok we can keep cats indoor, what about making techbros indoor only too? They kill a lot of innocent people with the tools they make.

      No they cause problems when indoors. We need them touching grass.

    and let the birds, mice, etc… live without fear.

    LOL, that’s not really how mice and small birds work.

      Oh? Exactly how do you know? Are you Dr.Doolittle?

      I’d say, we cannot determine definitively.

        Doesn’t take a lot of observation to see that small rodents are in fear of just about every encounter, largely because that’s what keeps them alive.

      i remember when i was out smoking pork butts with the stupid cat. i think she was inbred and had some issues. so i’m in a hammock and she was sitting there on the ground by me, almost loafing but her front paws out in front of her. a small rat ran right up on her paws, right below her mouth. she was all “wait, fuck!” and picked the rat up in her mouth, and she ran up to me so proud, but then she did not know what to do with it.

      only time she caught anything larger than a cold. the doofus.
