Comment on A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco

  Maybe reflect on what I’ve said about my political views instead of injecting the car loving stereotype you’ve made up.

  Nah I don’t think you’re a petrol head, I think you’re a techbro. I’ve accused you of it amply, and you have never even tried to give off any other impression.

  Congratulations bro. There are still cars all around you and you would still be safer if they were autonomous.

  Statistically speaking I’m vastly more likely to fall off a ladder changing a lightbulb than getting hit by a car. But I’m sure you have a technology for that, too… don’t you? Because you want to focus on the issues that actually affect people?

    Well like I said, you’re a dumbass who judges people on stereotypes in their head instead of reading what they wrote so go fuck yourself for thinking you know literally anything about me.

    If you think I’m a tech bro I will repeat what I’ve already said, learn how to fucking read. Jesus fucking Christ you’re an idiot.

    Statistically speaking I’m vastly more likely to fall off a ladder changing a lightbulb than getting hit by a car. But I’m sure you have a technology for that, too… don’t you?

    Um, they’re called LED light bulbs, and you only have to change them once every 10-15 years instead of a couple times a year. There are also these little things called fall arrests harnesses.

    Now that we’re done with your dumb analogy that you didn’t think through, back to the topic at hand, as long as cars exist, they will be safer if they’re self driving, so present your plausible plan for getting all of the world to give up cars in the next let’s say even 20 years, or shut. the. fuck. up.

    And thanks for the reminder that even people with extremely similar political views to me, can be arrogant dickbag idiots.

      From what I’ve read from you you’re fanboying automated driving quite a lot. See it as the one and true thing to solve all the issues even though I gave you plenty of examples of things it can’t solve, even if it did work. You addressed none of them in a convincing manner, instead dug your head in the sand, indicative of a closed world-view.

      “techbro” is simply shorthand for that.

      Um, they’re called LED light bulbs, and you only have to change them once every 10-15 years instead of a couple times a year.

      Good job missing the point. Then I’ll fall off the ladder cleaning windows or showing winter clothes on the top shelf of the cabinet. Point is: Household accidents aren’t exactly rare: In 2022, 2.776 people died in Germany due to traffic accidents. Domestic accidents: 15.551.

      I’d say if those companies put even just a tenth of the money they spend on automated driving research into domestic safety, even just ad campaigns, they could save a lot more people. But they of course won’t you can’t make money with that unless you’re the state.

      There are also these little things called fall arrests harnesses.

      …and you’re going to make people use them how? Put a police officer in every household to make sure people are sticking to occupational safety principles?

      so present your plausible plan for getting all of the world to give up cars in the next let’s say even 20 years,

      As soon as you give an actually good argument how you’re going to replace every car we currently have with an automated one, sure. As soon as you tell me how to square the circle of automated cars not running over pedestrians but still being reliable enough to actually go where you want them to go. As soon as you admit that you’ve been constantly ignoring those problems because they contradict your faith.

      And thanks for the reminder that even people with extremely similar political views to me, can be arrogant dickbag idiots.

      I very much doubt we have the same opinion on whether capital should be running basic infrastructure.

        300 people died falling from ladders in the US, 35000 died from traffic fatalities. So shut the fuck up with your cherry picked stats and shifting from a single problem (ladders) to all household accidents once you tried to look up stats and realized you were a fucking idiot.

        …and you’re going to make people use them how? Put a police officer in every household to make sure people are sticking to occupational safety principles?

        WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? You asked for a technology that helps prevent ladder falls, THATS WHAT A FALL ARREST HARNESS IS. YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

        I very much doubt we have the same opinion on whether capital should be running basic infrastructure.

        Yeah, because you’re an idiot who can’t fucking read and keeps slotting in a tech bro stereotype. You’re a judgemental dumbass.
