That’s my hope. Yesterday a 12 year old kid on a bike was hit by a car where I live.
It was dark, and I don’t have the exact details. The kid was coming from behind a parked car, it was 7pm so night, so I guess it’s the same kind of story that happened (beside the fact that a lot of people here are really bad drivers).
I’m so looking forward the time when human will stop driving by themselves. Of course there will be trade offs, most surely on the tracking side, but I’m deeply confident that accident rates will fall drastically.
No one should have to live with the feelings of having killed anyone, especially if not responsible. Let’s hope technology will finally prevent that.
- JKCalhoun 9y ago> Let’s hope technology will finally prevent that. Funny, because it's technology that caused the death in the first place. Maybe consider how to get rid of the car?
- BearGoesChirp 9y agoHow many deaths would getting rid of modern transportation cause? You can't just measure something by the negatives.
- gcheong 9y agoLots of everyday technology has the potential to cause death. People sometimes get hit by trains and those run on tracks. Whether the advantage of using the technology outweigh the downsides is always the tradeoff we need to decide on with an eye on trying to eliminate the downsides as much as possible while retaining the benefits.
- JKCalhoun 9y agoTrue, just pointing out the irony of waiting for technology to fix technology.
- gcheong 9y agoTrue, but is it any more ironic than continuing to bring more people into existence with such typical cheery optimism despite the fact that the very act of doing so also condemns them at some point to die a certain death?
- chris_7 9y agoHit by a driver.
- JeanMarcS 9y agoYes, that’s what I say. Let’s get rid of drivers and let the car drive itself. Of course when the technology will be mature enough. We do it for planes for years so why not for cars.
