    You’re arguing that even if autonomous vehicles are safer drivers than humans, we should choose to make ourselves less safe by disallowing them? Fuck that. Nobody should have to die because AI makes you squeamish.

      Unnecessarily hostile comment, too bad that attitude didn’t stay with Reddit.

      AI doesn’t make me squeamish at all. Ignoring the context in which I stayed my background with automation was a choice, but the tub is using the general public to beta test hazardous equipment. Humans make errors and can be held responsible; corporations putting people at risk for no responsibility is reckless.
