I agree with not having driving controls for cars sold to Soy Boys, but cars sold to REAL MEN should have those controls.

Arthur: If I asked you where the hell we were, would I regret it?

Ford: We’re safe.

Arthur: Oh good.

Ford: We’re in a small galley cabin in one of the spaceships of the Vogon Constructor Fleet.

Arthur: Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word safe that I wasn’t previously aware of

As long as the vehicle has a top notch entertainment system who cares about brakes and steering?

Do away with redundancy. Nice move/sarc.

By the way, is Pete Buttigieg an automobile specialist?

“Sure, Why Not: Regulator Says Self-Driving Cars Don’t Need Brake Pedals or Steering Wheels to Be Safe”

This is a product that not many need or want. Even if it came FREE with a car, I would never trust it with the present levels of hardware and sortware development. MAYBE very aged or handicapped people would find it helpful it it ever becomes somewhat reliable.

His country is so far gone. The people we have working in the federal government are absolute morons.

I am convinced American government is invested in murdering off as many native citizens as it possibly can.

Already was with covid/covax bioweapons, but now the wheels are off the wagon.

Passenger planes have autopilot that is fully capable of taking off and landing the planes but the FAA nonetheless requires a pilot/co-pilot perform the take off and landing functions with the auto-pilot disengaged. Why? Perhaps a fear that the computer will have a hiccup.

Why is this board so cavalier about no need for brakes and a steering wheel in automobiles? Personally, I like the idea that a living, breathing human who knows they are vulnerable is in charge, not a computer.

Same bureaucrats who think kids should be in rear facing car seats until they’re in kindergarten. I think the common thread is that they don’t think humans should be allowed to drive.

Do we have self driving trains yet? Wadda ya mean no? No self driving trains but were going to have self driving cars? Let’s do trains first and see how that works. Geez, do I have to do ALL the thinking around here?

A self-driving car pulled into our neighborhood street today and I got stuck behind it. It kept slowing and slowing. The closer I got, the more it slowed. Finally it pulled over to the right to let me by. What a POS that was. Whatever company is testing that junk has a long ways to go.

I’ve always wondered if a self driving/
braking car recognizes a cliff when it
sees one.

Even elevators have an emergency stop button.

At best, they will allow you to lease a tiny EV that will steer itself, but that you will not truly control, that can be stopped when your ESG score drops.
