I am sorry but you are invoking a strawman by claiming the article does a "think of the children" argument. This is one specific child in one specific case of narrowly avoiding harm. The example is one clear case of the technology not being ready, not being likewhat you describe it.
- notus 7y agoEven at an unready state it is better than human drivers. People literally text and drive while going 80 mph on a highway.
- whenchamenia 7y agoMaybe shitty human drivers breaking the law, but no, not better than actual focused drivers. Otherwise the ball is in your court for data. Quit perpetuating this baseless myth.
- hsk823 7y agoThis is clearly not a clear case of technology not being ready. This is a case of the technology being misused by consumers. Yes marketing it as being autonomous (when it's not) causes consumer confusion, but no one should think auto pilot as Tesla markets it is that, it's a driver assist tech like every other car maker has in their lineup these days. If anything Tesla may adopt what other car makers do when they see their driver aids get abused. Other makers turn off these systems if it senses a driver isn't paying attention and doesn't sense a hand is on the wheel.
- loco5niner 7y agoIt DOES use a "think of the children" argument. I mean... it's right in the title.
- polotics 7y agoNope, the title is about one infant daughter.
- loco5niner 7y agoPedantry aside... "One infant daughter" may not represent "children", but "children" certainly represents "one infant daughter".
