Uber drivers are raising a lot of concerns that sound, well, a lot like the concerns cab drivers raised when Uber came along.
While I’m sure that the Uber drivers don’t want to be replaced, this idea that self-driving cars are actually feasible in real world applications is akin to the thinking that a man can be a woman if ‘she’ puts a dress on.
Normally, we would take a look at the staggering potential liabilities and throw the idea out the window, but in our state of collective delusion, we’ve decided that it’s somehow worth it for people to die because self driving cars are ‘really cool tech’.
Just the Tesla accident alone a couple months back should have chilled the idea right there, but it didn’t. These things will be excused and deaths will result, all because it’s more convenient to chalk it up to ‘progress’.
