  Hopefully this will show the world that they are a bad idea. The price will be in blood, of course.

    I think it would be great if the technology was more mature, and there was proper accountability for the negative consequences. 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 don’t believe either of those will happen.

      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 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.

  With Tesla behind it, I’m sure it will happen and be an unmitigated disaster.

  Like the one tested by Mark Rober?

    The lidar one was pretty cool, imo. Tesla sucked.

  This is further evidence that Agent Orange’s mission is to sow chaos and discord, and to sabotage the government and economy.

  I like the idea of self driving cars, especially for people with mobility issues but they’ll never be safe enough for use without their own infrastructure because of the complexity and also terrible design of American roads. Personally I think its better to spend our tax dollars on building better public transit and human sized transportation methods but the absurd amount of push back from both the populace and also the government basically guarantees it isn’t going to happen in my life time. But i generally don’t see the self-driving car experiment working out in the long run.

  Clear the way for all those cars that won’t be able to do shit in snow and rainy weather or if road situations are less than 99% clear!

  even though I do not trust self driving cars at this point in time, i would much rather trust literally every other manufacturer’s version of self driving tech except tesler.
