You should have to actually validate your age to use social media and you should be required to be 18.

So OnlyFans for Reddit. More spam incoming.

Not having control of the plane in a life or death situation is terrifying. Train not so much.

Driving a car can’t be compared to those two. So much more traffic and people/objects in the way. Only comparable to something like a bus in a designated bus lane.

You’ve misunderstood me and we’re getting off topic. The main point is that “good” is where the eggs are cracked to get to a “great” omelette.

We have toll roads today. You pay for faster travel. Automation of vehicles introduces much easier access into controlling you vehicle and a lot more variables able to be controlled.

Haha funny comparison. I love GPS, but when it doesn’t work it’s pretty low stakes. The mechanism in which it works is completely different too.

Not having control of a vehicle in a life or death situation is terrifying to me. I probably trust my driving more than most, and trust my decisions over those decided by a corporation beholden to rich investors.

I’m worried about the growing pains before we get to the ideal state, and that would have to be full autonomy of everything on the road so nothing that enters the space can collide with another, or if they do, it’s not dangerous.

But then guess what? People will be able to pay for the fast lane. Or a faster rate of speed. You make a whole economy out of trying to get to work, trying to go to a wedding, trying to go anywhere. I don’t trust it, but I get it.

I agree. Less margin for error, but leaves people who depend on automation vulnerable. I just imagine lots of growing pains before we get to ideal state.

Yeah people suck at driving, but they’ll just get worse while the automation is being ironed out and eventually they won’t know how to drive at all. What about an emergency situation that the automated cars and/or roads aren’t programmed for?

What about things on the road that are not automated? There will be situations where a machine’s ethics might override a human driver’s ethics. It would be good for us to be able to override the system and know how to safely drive in emergencies.

I guess that’s fair. Machines would be much less accident prone than humans, but you can’t automate everything on the road (e.g. people, bikes, non-automated vehicles). People are going to have to be able to know how to get out of situations manually. What about emergencies where you have to do something that the automated roads aren’t programmed for?

Am I an old fart for being concerned about future generations growing up with self driving cars?

I guess I grew up with a lot of automated things, but I feel like driving is something that people should be able to do for safety reasons.

I thought this was gonna be about Wikipedia finally shutting down because nobody donates

Yeah it’s just people trying to show how big their penis is with a car

Aliexpress with the bangers:

Does Citroen make SUV’s now? They must be smoooooooth

Haha because it’s from aliexpress. I think it’s a great idea though. You can haul things. Don’t need roads. Looks cool. Good for the environment

Tell me more

i’ve thought about that for high performance vehicles, but probably more important for very large vehicles. like a B/C license.

damn, i would have expected the french to have better taste in their vehicles

Americans just love being the biggest on the road. Bigger is better in their minds. Maybe we put an extra tax on very large vehicles.
