Have you been in one of these vehicles? There is an emergency stop. It’s just not a brake. Are you assuming that people can better predict when it’s safe to stop emergently? I’ve never seen data that shows that. If you are in a panic situation the emergency stop pulls over and stops as soon as it can do so safely. You can’t break a bus or a train or a taxi. As a passenger you can request any of those to stop when safe to do so. Cars are death traps. People are dying in cars all the time. Driverless vehicles are a safer option and saying otherwise is either ignorance or pushing a luddite agenda.

Not crazy (to me). Charging taxes doesn’t make you likely to get re-elected. Taking money from lobbyists and giving them what they want does.

Closed course testing has been near perfect. At some point it needs to be real world tested. It’s arguably already far safer than human performance. That seems like a reasonable threshold for prod testing. If this were a vaccine it would likely be on schedule already.

Doesn’t sound too death trappy. Driverless vehicles hold the potential to save many thousands of lives. We should demand the best in the process of transition, and there’s no reason to be corporate schills, but fear mongering this technology only slows progress.

Death traps? Can you elaborate?

Sounds like a plan from someone that has never been lobbied by the advertising industry. Many billions are at stake here. Not many governments can withstand the kind of lobby power this money can buy.

Would be great to see more crackdown on this though. Random companies are collecting tons of data on people via default opt-in methods.

That’s not fair. I’d like to wipe out the third that didn’t vote too

4d chess. Next level genius. We won’t recognize the logic behind this for another decade. All we can do as dumb mortals is trust blindly for now and keep drinking our bleach.

Boy, I don’t even know if I wish that much 4chan on a LLM.

If the brain damage is severe enough he may be able to find a backdoor into American politics now.
