There seems to be this really stupid but pervasive idea that people want self driving cars. They don't but they haven't realized it yet. Not until they kill enough people. That is sad to say, but exactly how it is going to happen.
Now I am reading that they want self driving semi-trucks on the road too? Um... No.
Just no.
I don't want to be on the road with them. If that happens I will stop driving.
It cannot be allowed to happen.
I am a software engineer. I have been for over 30 years. I would never, ever trust a computer to drive me anywhere and neither should you.
When these things make decisions for us in emergencies and mount the pavement and kill five people who do you think is responsible? The automaker? No. You are. You will go to jail for the rest of your life for sitting quietly inside the vehicle and not taking action.
And what about bad weather? We can't even get people to handle half an inch of snow in the southern states without massive pileups.
Again, this is a very bad idea that needs to go away. Stop it. Make it stop!
Please! This time think before people die!
I am not kidding!
