I’m involved in self-driving technology tangentially in my profession, so I could write about this for hours. For now I’ll just say this ... when you account for the limits of the technology, the cost, and the difficulties of implementing it, you find that self-driving cars are a “solution” looking for a problem to solve.
I believe that insurance companies will doom the self driving car! I wonder who is liable for the death of the woman who got run over! The Car?
We have an onboard navigation system in my wife’s car. With the insane things that system “suggests” we do, this is not a practical solution. In a video game (not real world) this is possible. In the real world, it will be a long time coming if ever.
Educated Idiots can imagine amazing stuff, but when it comes to implementing theory goes out the window and what works, works.
I’m still convinced the simplest possible solution is still the best. (Einstein made a statement about that)
Motives on auto navigation systems? Did you ever use it to find a restaurant? Give it an address, it will often get you there. Those who pay to have their restaurant name in the system are seldom the places you actually want to eat.
A lot of this technology is meant to add to the monster of tracking our every action.
I won’t go back to horse and buggy, but I still hate computers in cars. Far too complex, and next to impossible to “fix” when broken.
We once bought a disposable car. It had 2,000 miles on it when my wife and I bought it. It was a Saturn VUE. At just over 100,000 miles the CVT transmission failed. Cost of repair was quoted at $4,500. There are repair kits, no new trans available. Car company closed. We were basically excluded from the settlement in the class action lawsuit over this problem, we did not buy it new (it had 2,000 miles on it when we bought it.)
It has been setting parked at our farm for 8+ years.
Never another Government Motor car for me. Not going there again.
Yes, plus they are trying to take away one of life's pleasures for me. I enjoy driving, I enjoy sports car racing. Can you imagine a race with driverless cars? No skill involved, just competing computers. I can see the case for driverless trucks in some places. I-5 between Los Angeles and San Francisco, would be an ideal place for driverless trucks, particularly if they could operated in a separate lane. Ditto for lots of places out West where the distances are great and the weather is predictable. We have a friend whose son drives truck between LA and SF five days a week. What a boring effing job! Besides a paycheck, you end up with serious hemorrhoids!
Wanna bet that part of the problem they wish to solve is Climate Change?
Do you want Google knowing every inch you drive?
In other words government funding
You looked at medallion costs lately? Training for truck drivers? What happens to your insurance when one of your delivery drivers gets a ticket? There’s a whole bunch of problems it can solve.
They are designing cars for the “ultimate solution” of completely atomizing the population and putting them under totalitarian rule. That is their LAST needed “control”-—of ALL transportation. THEY will dictate where you can go and when you can go anywhere. (All “self” driving cars will be able to be controlled by the govt. elites....ALL.) They can kill you or prevent you from going places like they did Michael Hastings. You will be marked like we are today with “smart” phones and all new cars now-—the NWO is real, folks!!!
The psychopaths are using the Hegelian Dialectic to force us into total servitude and slavery, and we “beg” for the “freedom” to have IPhones for our children, so their brains are artificially “mapped” by psychopaths and pedophiles and so our children lose agency as the Marxists desire—just programmed “bots” who can’t “think critically” EVER.
“Smart” technology destroys autonomy and mental cognition in people to “not have to think about important things—not make those little decisions—not memorize and habituate things will destroy neurons in the brain. They “learn” to use machines in simplistic ways with inanimate objects-—never other “humans” in Reality. They lose the ability to even interact with other humans—the most complex, creative computer out there—is being destroyed DELIBERATELY for the elite’s Technocracy of Slaves. (Read Huxley’s Ultimate Solution speech to Berkeley of 1962—the evil pedophile “plan” known by then-—to make us into their happy controlled “bots”.)
Oh, but we are SO happy staring at their cr@p, the TV, etc. and letting them control and addict our brains with artificial emotions—their bread and circuses, as we ignore the most important human relationships and true politics (reality) and control. True meaning in our lives is destroyed and we lose the ability to control and determine our own lives.
We allow them to control and shape our children (destroy their brains) in their public school indoctrination centers since the communist John Dewey destroyed our Classical Christian curricula for “socialization” into slavery/stupidity system, to destroy natural instincts, esp. in masculine, alpha males who will be drugged and emasculated and embed dependency only. No Davy Crocketts possible with their system of mass indoctrination and conformity using peer pressure, conditioning. revisionism (lies) of history, and hyper-sexualized TV images to destroy virtue formation which is needed to be free (have agency).
Just like the IPhone atrophies the brain and is destroying the ability of people to navigate and remember phone numbers, etc., “smart” cars will do the same. The IPhone is doing all the work of the brain—atrophing the brain—LITERALLY—and will prevent the brain of children from integrating properly and building the neuron network, naturally. How many children will know how to fix a car that can’t run? NONE. All men knew how to do that 100 years ago. They weren’t controlled and dependent on others.
All “smart” technology is to put us into a totalitarian, dependent state of total control by elite—like in the cities of China where they have complete slavery. The word “smart” is Orwellian and a ‘laugh” for the psychopaths as they literally destroy your children. Smart phones make them dumb. Children need to work their brains and memorize, etc., like they used to in the one-room school houses where common sense was created-—not killed like in today’s “artificial” AI worlds. Children have to DO things in nature—with ALL five senses and have FREE PLAY and FREE ASSOCIATION with REAL people, trees, dirt, rocks, etc., to map their brains NATURALLY-—as God designed which creates agency (thinking for self) and creativity.
Memory and creativity will be destroyed if using IPhone, since the phone does all the work for your brain. Same with watching TV-—the programming literally destroys areas of the brain—atrophies it—and remaps it with artificial (irrational) emotional patterns. It isolates and removes people from Reality (and remaps the brain to be “happy” with addiction/programming systems which do all the work of the mind. It especially harms children who are just starting to map their brains and learn to use it properly (naturally).
Children already are having their minds (agency) destroyed by the Pavlovian/Skinner public school system (and most private skools). They destroyed explicit phonics, rhetoric, mathematics, Great Books, Bible—the curricula which actually created minds that had agency and could be coherent and understand this cabal and their insidious pederastic plans (Sex Ed) for little children which objectifies all people—reduces them to cattle to be herded and culled.
We are being controlled-—Mind Controlled—(conditioned) and massively since Eddie Bernays (Freud’s Nephew) who was used by the elites psychopaths to poison us (and make us LOVE the poisoning). (Read his book “Propaganda” and watch Century of Self.)
We are remapping brains of children so they are incapable of agency-they will just be “bots’ repeating whatever has been programmed into them and they are given lies and hyper-sexualized to destroy virtue formation. The mapping of the brain creates “cognitive dissonance” when exposed to the Truth (God) or any facts, etc. Typical “snowflakes” who believe sodomy is a virtue, boys can be girls and Evil is Good—complete atomized, sterile people for the psychopath’s depopulation plans (killing billions).
The automobile was the worst invention for the monopolists in our history when Ford made cars affordable to the masses. It is what help created the most free and independent, prosperous nation on earth even more than the horse and wagon. It created a STRONG MIDDLE CLASS. People who could escape the control and monopolies of the psychopathic elites who for 200 years has tried to get total control of the World, esp. America (and who set up the System in 1913 so they could eventually get total control like today—(the Federal Bank/Marxist Income Tax/Public skools) and get us into all their wars, depressions, so they can steal the wealth, minerals, lands, banks and eventually destroy the middle class.
With their “smart” grid and “smart” cars and “phones”, etc., they are destroying the worldview in human beings which created the mindset of Western Civilization (Christian worldview) at its apotheosis. They will make the Christian worldview impossible in children with their programming because it is the destruction of the natural integration of the brain.
Sorry this is so long, but had some time this morning......LOL
