The Top 40

"Drive your own damn car. It's not that hard if you're not texting."

Fox Butterfield, is that you?

There are 38,000 traffic fatalities on average a year in the US. Think about that for a second…38,000…

We all get upset, and rightfully so, when 10’s of people are killed in a single terrorist attack. I’m in no way comparing the two situations but could you imagine the collective outrage if 38,000 people were either killed at once or over a course of a year by terrorists? For example, Sept. 11th 2001 involved “only” roughly 10% of the yearly average in car accidents.

But 38,000 are killed in cars and meh…who cares.

While I’m not advocating self-driving cars, to say that “there’s no problem there” is disingenuous at best and ignorant in the least.

Just wait until a terrorist fills his self-driving car with explosives and sends it to a school parking lot as school lets out.
Maybe we should be comparing self-driving cars with cruise missiles.

When a person gets in his car and goes somewhere, the car fully under their control, sharing the road with all the other people, what is that? That's Liberty, baby.

When a person gets in his self-driving car and says "To the moon, Alice", what is that? That's a highly-regulated-by-the-state activity. The state will mandate what the car can and cannot do, where the car can and cannot go, how fast,wwwww, all guided by the mailed cyberfists of lovingkindness, those-insts regulated by hutechno-overseers, and operated for the aggrandization of the hupsychopaths and their husociopath minions that run things around here.
