&gt; A lot of us are skeptical of self-driving cars because a lot of their advocates want the next step to be banning private citizens from driving, which you&#x27;ve just confirmed, thanks.<p>Lol, i think you&#x27;re mistaking my (attempted) logical thinking towards some type of agenda towards banning humans driving cars. You seem far more agenda driven, heh.<p>Just because i think we are extremely unqualified for driving, does not mean i want to ban the act. It be extremely improbable to achieve, with all the costs of upgrading the entire infrastructure alone making your defense of this almost seem like a half hearted joke. Moreover, even if in some magic realm where we can make <i>all</i> cars into self driving cars to abolish human driving, i&#x27;m just simply not in favor of removing human rights.<p>Yes, i would want to make it difficult for you to drive, but for your own (and mine!) safety. Our safety standards for driving tests are incredibly, and i mean incredibly, laughable. How often we enforce rules and laws for driving are also laughable. Almost no one even follows some of the most basic rules, like speed limits, and the more extreme people often break sobriety laws.<p>Self driving cars would give us a platform to A: Raise the bar for who can drive, and what sort of training you need. and B: Be more willing to ban someone from driving if they put others at risk, through speed, drugs, alcohol, or whatever.<p>We have a hard time banning drivers these days because it very negatively impacts your life if you cannot drive. In a world with self driving cars though, you can still have a first class life. Driving is now something of leisure.<p>Anyway, nice try at putting words in my mouth - next time make them a little less tinfoil though, please.
