Yes, Im "pearl clutching" because some ahole decided to put hundreds of peoples lives at risk so he (and its always a he) could have a little thrill. There is a wide gulf now between human skill and robo-driver skill, just as 50 years ago it was much faster to call someone then send them a message in the mail. Now we have email, and in the future we will have (actual, real) full self driving.

I'm not condoning his behavior but 1) people are jerks, what do you expect and 2) you are getting way to bent out of shape over it. > Now we have email, and in the future we will have (actual, real) full self driving. And yet people pick up the phone for the urgent stuff and send snail mail for the super important stuff (though the latter is changing with online forms moving into more and more areas). That says something about the true nature of technological progress. We come up with new better stuff but often old stuff keeps some niches for itself.
