Absolutely-
Making it a mandate that all cars produced be ‘autonomous’ will be the next thing that comes up to the plate.
Imagine a world where to get into your car - you have to pay a toll, and the car won’t turn on unless the government says it’s ok. The government offers you free ‘autonomous cars’, ostensibly for public safety.
The government can now track where you go and when, and at no time are you free.
The government can pull you off the road at any time, turn off your car, shut it down. If you aren’t in control - who is?
