Then these people should stop trying to force me to accept a less safe method of transportation, by preventing me from using new technology!
Yeah, those people shouldn't be forced to use a self driving care. As they are ALREADY not being forced to do.
Nobody is being forced to use the technology. Just don't use it if you don't like it.
It is literally the opposite. These other people are forcing ME into a more dangerous situation.

- YeGoblynQueenne 9y agoThe technology is not yet safe, as should be evident by now. It's being promoted as safer than humans, but it's not anywhere near that, yet, mainly because to drive safely you need at least human-level intelligence. Even though humans also drive unsafely, they have the ability to drive very, very safely indeed under diverse conditions that no self-driving car can tackle with anything approaching the same degree of situational awareness and therefore, again, safety. For the record, that's my objection to the technology: that it's not yet where the industry says it is and it risks causing a lot more harm than good. Another point. You say nobody is being forced to use the technology. Not exactly; once people start riding self-driving cars then everyone is at risk- anyone can be run over by a self-driving car, anyone can be in an accident caused by someone else's self-driving car, etc. So it's a bit like a smoker saying nobody is forced to smoke- yeah, but if you smoke next to me I'm forced to breathe in your smoke.
