If I can’t control it, I’m just not interested.

I believe that you do control it (The SureFly).

“That’s the idea behind SureFly, an octocopter concept capable of carrying two passengers into remote and difficult-to-access areas up to 70 miles away.

Better known for its trucks, Workhorse Group Inc. plans to unveil the technology at the Paris Air Show on June 19.”

“It’s designed to be a short-hop machine — if you can fly a drone, you should be able to fly this,” Steven Burns, chief executive of the Loveland, Ohio, company told Trucks.com.

So the car is driving me down a street, and an antifa mob blocks my path and starts attacking, pounding on the vehicle and trying to drag me out of the car. How does the autonomous car handle the attack? If I'm driving, then I would floor the gas pedal and mow through the mob to get away. But not this car, meaning I'm at the mercy of the mob. Dozens of other problem scenarios.
