This is truely fertile territory for a conservative comedian. Never get on a college campus but what the heck.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Yes, and cars that run on natural gas should be implemented in locales that have more Mexicans. It’s Trump’s world, we just live in it.

[Fred Nerks]

Great! That should stimulate sales...and give the insurance companies a headache.

[Cowboy Bob]

How many black people have actually been hit?

[bluejean]

Self-driving cars won’t wanna go to them hoods no how.

[867V309]

no worries. it’s probably easy to make the software target anything under a MAGA hat.

[yesthatjallen]

Can you imagine the lawsuits to come if self-driving cars turn out to hit more blacks than whites?

This alone could shut down the technology before it becomes commercially viable.

[LibWhacker]

Now, if black peoples were programming the things, the cars would have to run over 10 white people a day before the AI program controlling the cars was considered perfect.

[dowcaet]

A racist car! Just when things couldn’t get any more nuts we have this nonsense. I suppose if one of these self-driving cars hits a Black person both the car and the company could be charged with hate crimes.

[metmom]

Honestly, if I was a normal black American these days, I would constantly cringe at the Libs’ insulting, incessant pandering that treats me like an idiot child.

Yeah, but throw in an (un)healthy does of victimhood and entitlement mentality, and anything goes.

“......give all black people a car....”

Were you the parent of Bernie Sanders in another life?

Or you could hookup a net on the front and program it to scoop up the illegals and drive them to the border. Won’t need a wall then.

[OddLane]

lol.

[Pelham]

Illegals have driven blacks out of Compton. Compton was already 65% latino back in the 2010 census.

[dragnet2]

Simple, just reprogram the computer vision system to when it sees lighter colors, it increases speed and turns into them. That way there is no discrimination.

good point.

facial recognition software will eventually make every vehicle a potential hit man.

[roadcat]

Easy solution: legislate that black people must wear red MAGA hats.

[lee martell]

Here we go. Buckle your seat belts.
Enjoy the Tilt-A-Whirl ride of “That’s Racist!!”

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Those cars are going to rack up a LOT of points if they get stuck in an Antifa get-together...

[doorgunner69]

England has enough negros to make this an issue?

maybe Montana should take note............
