These driverless cars are a menace to us, the human race. Driving slowly, carefully, without emotional engagement and using only cold algorithms. What purpose is driving if one cannot feel the freeling of speeding along at 80 miles per hour (or 160 kilometers p/h for you Germans out there) in the suburbs, wave goodbye at children safely playing on the road, and enjoy the power given to use by our engineers?<br>Since when have machines been better than humans at ANYTHING routine? Never. Do not forget the broken voting machines with the half-punctured holes, or the many accidents in the industrial revolution where machines consumed poor, dutiful infants. No, driving is an art, it cannot be done by machine. To turn my morning drive to work into a schedule, to force me along the same path as if there is no better, to insist I do not drive half-asleep to wake myself to the sound of welcoming horns and panicked pedestrians, to have the GALL to insist I share this moment of wonder at modern science, it is APPALLING.<br>Not to mention their ruthless reaction times cause hasty decisions, supported not the human time to take a moment to think things through, but merely to act on stimuli. Only a human can truly grasp a sudden, pending impact, for machines are too slow and heartless to do so. <br>I say, vote yes on Article 9, forbidden automated transport from public spaces. Preserve the many jobs held by our drivers and avoid cold machines from murdering pedestrians just to save their own mechanical bodies. <br>Vote YES, save yourself and your families from machines taking jobs and lives from your fellow man. It is your DUTY to keep the roads in OUR hands. This is America, and I want the privilege, no, the RIGHT to drive MY car MY way. <br><br>Sponsored by the automotive, insurance and medical industry, we know better than anyone the risks of driving. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Already, I couldn't help but giggle. I'm a mile from writing "A Modest Proposal", but I had a chuckle at this, and I hope someone else does too! ^o^,(reply>), Sapphire Crook You wrote this comment out of irony but it is "right". How ironical life can be, just like when a comedian bashes something that proves to be right.,(reply>), Sapphire Crook This is an amazing parody.,(reply>), Maybe your confusion comes from the poe's law, wich is about how hard it is to differenciate ironical from non ironical statements (or something like that) wich has nothing to do with allan poe, but i thought it did.,(reply>), This is ridiculous XD,(reply>), @Yiannis Kaparos When I said 'not intended to be a 1:1 conversion' I meant that the two numbers might not have anything to with each other in that way. :P
