Just who is really driving that "self-driving" car?

The automobile was for decades a symbol of an individual’s independence.
In his car, a man could drive wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted, for whatever reason he wanted, and for as long as he wanted — all without anyone but himself being any the wiser. Now, under the guise of “autonomy”, this freedom is going to be taken away from us. (At this point, George Orwell is laughing his ass off. “Freedom is Slavery”, remember?) I once said that if I could choose the way I die, it would either be in my wife’s arms or on the barricades. Well, that first option has been taken from me, which means that if I die, it will be in a pitched gun battle with government agents who are trying to take away my old car and forcing me to use Government Autonomous Vehicle Mk. VII — and if you think I’m joking, I’m not. Fuck this bullshit. - - Kim DuToit No. Just… NO. – Splendid Isolation

Your Say

Who makes the decision to avoid a head-on collision by swerving into a school bus? The car's back home programmer or you the dumbed up owner of the car?

As far as the insurance companies are concerned SOMEBODY is in charge. Whoever pays the premiums.
