Humans usually aren&#x27;t disabled by that, but sometimes they are. How often is a human distracted by one of these things, and before they can recover they drive into an obstacle? It happens with great frequency.<p>And in this particular case, humans not only can be disabled with a laser pointer, but they can be disabled <i>permanently</i>, not just for that driving session, but for the rest of their lives. Can&#x27;t swap out cameras in a human driver. Yet somehow this is not a crisis for manually-piloted cars.
