  I’m sorry, are you saying children are too immature to be passengers in cars?

    I don’t get what you are saying. My kids’ door locks aren’t even on. You know what they can manage? Closing the door.

      You said

      Perfect argument that they are too immature to be on the road.

      In response to a comment saying doors may not automatically close on self driving cars to protect children. It seems like you’re saying children are too immature to be on the road.

      No one thinks children are incapable of closing doors, people think self closing doors may cut off children’s fingers.

        That isn’t how the reply came off.

        And that line of inquiry is irrelevant. If safe, self closing doors are a mechanical marvel that stumps the engineering teams of the self-driving car engineers then they fundamentally aren’t up to the job.

        This is a very small bar compared to giant leaps needed to have cars be autonomous.
