Computerized cars have a high accident rate and like to hit pedestrians. I get liberals do not want you to walk either. I do not think that a computerized car could handle most country roads let alone winter weather conditions.

The technical problems can be minimized, to the point where a self-driving car could be just as good as the average driver.

I do not hang my objection to self-driving cars on the peg of inadequate technology. That is a sucker bet, because technology is going to get better and better.

Citizens living in the city apartments must use mass transit;workers on the collective farms may ride the monthly bus (with permission) for extraordinary needs .

I agree - computerized cars cannot deal with strange situations...and the array of cameras and sensors could not function well on a dusty dirt road.

Sadly, I think these realities will be used as reason to ban all human driving (gets rid of strange situations computers can’t handle). And, in a liberal dream world, those of us living on dirt roads may be allowed to drive to the nearest paved road, park the car, and await a computerized car to take us the rest of the trip.
