There were almost as many gun related deaths in America in 2015 (according to Bloomberg.Com) as there were traffic fatalities.
While we're at it, why don't we just take away everyone's guns too so we can "save lives" while we're at it!
I mean, if we're going to protect stupid people from themselves, we oughtta ban guns, trans-fats, dunkin' donuts, mc donalds, burger king, pizza hut, taco bell, zip lining, parachuting .......
Where do you stop meddling in other people's lives and freedom of choice?!
That’s an irrational comparison and I’ve done nothing to impact choices people can make. Nobody is making you buy one, they’re being developed because people will WANT one. BTW, it doesn’t have to be turned on either. I love driving but there are times I wish I weren’t.
It WOULD be idiotic to hold back on a technology that will save lives because of a perception that it takes away freedom, which it doesn’t. Besides, having a driving license is a privilege, not a right - unlike owning a firearm.
Technology always impacts our lives. So let’s stop advancing technology yes? This is no different, it isn’t about reducing choice it is about increasing choice...and being safer. Whether you choose to let the car drive or not is your choice - but let me have mine too.
