It's good to allow people to take risks that only affect them, but even then we have to make sure they are properly informed of the risk. When so much of tech is spread on hype, people aren't aware how much of risk they're signing on for. The example that frustrates me most is self driving cars. Tesla's marketing department got ahead of the rest of the org, and you end up with people doing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnZHRupjl5E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnZHRupjl5E. Or you see excited people comparing number of crashes per self-driving mile to number of crashes per human driven mile and thinking that's an apples-to-apples number to compare, and thinking that therefore their risk has decreased. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for self driving cars and personal autonomy, but something has to balance all the PR and marketing bullshit around every product. How many misleading half truths and flat out lies have you seen in in advertisements lately? Or in the news? Science journalism isn't exactly renowned for accuracy.
