Further, the more self-driving cars are in operation, the more predictable other drivers will be. To a large extent, safe driving is defensive driving because there are so many bad drivers on the road.

This argument, taken to its logical conclusion, would be used to ban non-autonomous vehicles.

I believe the leftists are trying (again) to ban private transportation via this backdoor method, do you have any concerns about this ?

P.S. I think Roborace is a good yardstick of where this technology is, which is not very far yet, since two cars can't complete a full lap without a crash.

Leftists will never ban private transportation entirely. The elite ones will always exempt themselves.

I don’t think this is a conspiracy to take away liberties as much as the logical outcome of market forces and a trajectory of continuous technological innovation.

And, yes. I have a concern any time, any liberal has a position of authority anywhere. Nothing good ever comes from that.

Liberals should go start communes somewhere on undeveloped land that no one wants and prove that they can accomplish something without highjacking the accomplishments, money, and property of others.

Conservatives COULD build a community using land no one wants. The only problem is that liberals would be rushing to take credit and steal whatever the conservatives built.

As far as self-driving cars go, I don’t feel threatened except when it comes to tracking and privacy. What is far more scary is technology designed to be implanted.
