I disagree.
I believe that the push is to get AI / driverless cars as first normal, then as prefered from a cost or efficiency basis, and then make self driving a priviledge, then an expensive priviledge and then not allowed at all.
Why? It is a liberal’s utopian dream to know and control where the citizens travel to and from. Taxes can be assesed on a per mile travelled basis - for the environment.
You’ve been reading my prior post!
Okay, it bears repeating.
Fuel taxes do that now. It is usually calculated on a per gallon basis, but with some calculations could be restated on a per mile basis.
When the government wants more money, they can just increase fuel taxes.
As Scotty Kilmer says, driverless cars and cars with drivers cannot coexist on the road. You have to either have one or the other. So it will never work.
Self driving cars WON’T control where people go. They can ALREADY tax you per mile if they want, through numerous means.
