self driving cars and cars in general are really stupid,(reply>), Not really. The million of people who die every year are almost always due to human error.,(reply>), Unless you value freedom. I used to be a big supporter of the idea of self-driving cars about 15 years ago, but now I think central authorities wouldn't be able to resist programming them to force people to do things they want them to do, and punishing people who they don't like. Not right now, but in the future.
